... don't remember, Dave Talbott, Dwardu Cardona, and Ev Cochrane all agreed, "There were no stars visible from earth during the time of the polar configuration." The night sky I'd always taken for granted was obliterated with a shining nebulosity. The second came at the Seattle workshop when Wal Thornhill juxtaposed slides of the polar configuration and comet Shoemaker-Levi-9, illustrating that the polar configuration is not astronomically impossible. A third was when Dave Talbott shifted my vision of the flood myths in a post to the K-list: "[ I ]n all likelihood, the outpouring of cometary material associated with the deluge' involved a descent of a horrendous cloud of ice on the Earth, ...
662. Cosmic and Terrestrial Lightning [Books] [de Grazia books]
... , the space sheath or magnetosphere of the Earth cannot suffice as a buffer when large or fast erratic bodies approach. In the Venusian catastrophe, cosmic lightning played a heavy role. Cometary Venus, according to Velikovsky's reconstruction, encountered the Earth in the spring of 1453 B.C . and followed roughly its orbit for some days. The comet with its millions of miles of tail appeared and reappeared as the Earth continued with interruptions its rotation. On the second approach, after six days had passed, a gigantic column towered into the sky, a pillar of smoke by day and of fire by night, as Exodus 14:19 describes it. This stage was accompanied by ...
663. Society News [Journals] [SIS Review]
... information on reported astronomical activity and observations during the late 16th/early 17th c. In Nov. 1572, a bright new star suddenly appeared in the sky in the constellation Cassiopeia, brighter than Venus. This contradicted Aristotle, who had said a new star was impossible as the celestial sphere was unchanging. Then in 1577, a spellbinding comet was seen in the sky, in Capricorn. It had a long tail, was dark red, and stretched across an arc of 22 degrees. It was as large as Venus and was visible for 2 months. One astronomer claimed it was 4 times as far away as the moon, i.e . about 1 million miles ...
664. Predicting the Past [Journals] [Aeon]
... settled once and for all. Ever since Darwin, the great majority of historians, anthropologists, and geologists have assumed that the doctrine of gradual evolution was proven beyond need for further discussion. Today, the tide has turned somewhat. Now school children are taught that the extinction of the dinosaurs was due to the crashing to Earth of a comet or an asteroid sixty million years ago. Astronomers have written books about how asteroid and comet impacts destroyed past civilizations and threaten our present one. Experts in the field of dendrochronology have concluded that tree-ring data show steep environmental downturns within historical times, and that these events seem to be tied to celestial phenomena. The present work is a ...
665. Ocean Sediments, Circumpolar Muck, Erratics, Buried Forests, and Loess as Evidence of Global Floods [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... also be noted that, although this paper deals with geophysical evidence, there are numerous ancient legendary and historical documents that speak of one of these global floods. Several authors and scientists of the past discussed this, of whom the first may have been William Whiston in New Theory of the Earth, where he claimed in 1696 that a great comet nearing the Earth in ancient times caused the Biblical flood. His book had a profound influence on later scholars who, in various ways, supported the idea that there had, indeed, been a recent global flood. G. Cuvier also conceived of immense floods as a reality, based on Whiston's work.4 Stephen Jay Gould claims ...
666. On Solomon's Temple [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... Kepler's 2nd law by absorbing (2p)3 into the equation. Personally I go through p=a3v3 and relate this to Kepler's 2nd law instead of talking about conditions for a nearly circular orbit, a condition which is greatly restricted. Mr. Hatch should have related pv3=K to the eccentric orbits of Mercury, Pluto and Halley's comet; he would have found it workable. But Mr. Hatch seems inadvertently to be highlighting a defect in Kepler's law which says the planetary orbits are elliptical. The higher the eccentricity of an ellipse, the lower should be the ratio between the semi-major axis and the orbital circumference. Moreover, that ratio can never equal or exceed 2p ...
667. Obituary: Earl Milton [Journals] [SIS Review]
... fossils', known technically as fulgurites, that he had recovered after lightning strikes glassified the sand surrounding tree roots. Earl remembered me after the filmed interview I did of him at the SIS meeting. So it was that Earl and his family stayed at my home in Canberra for a few days in April 1986 when they visited to witness comet Halley from Australia's Red Centre'. Earl spoke to a small meeting I had organised at the National University about his views of an electrified cosmos. It is noteworthy that he publicly advocated electrical craters on comets and asteroids as early as 1980. Earl kept in touch with long personal letters and I occasionally phoned him. He had a ...
668. The Two Faces of Love [Books] [de Grazia books]
... the Golden Calf in Hebrew Exodus)? It would appear that we are dealing once again with mysteries of the succession and amalgamation of divinities in the course of experiencing and forgetting, mnemotechnology. Especially because of the ultimately close physical association of the Moon and Venus and the skies, the facile mirage of celestial horns, and the shapes that comets take, we can reason that Aphrodite would be party to and victim of a confusion between Moon and the Star of the Moon. Hence, Symbols of the one may develop some distinction from those of the other, but an overlapping occurs, enough to tell of the merger of gods, a merger perhaps supremely important in preventing the ...
