... No. 3, March 15,1959). In 1960 B. Hezen reported the discovery of a gigantic submarine canyon that runs almost twice around the globe: "The discovery at this late date of the midocean ridge and rift has raised fundamental questions about basic geological processes and the history of the earth and has even had reverberations in cosmology" (Scientific American, October 1960). ...
422. The Origin Of The Planetary System, Prologue Ch.1 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... the same star seem quite incredible. Therefore, as no better explanation is available, the satellites are supposed to have been torn from the planets by the sun's attraction on their first perihelion passage, when, sweeping along on stretched orbits, the planets came close to the sun. The circling of the satellites around the planets also confronts existing cosmological theories with difficulties. Laplace built his theory of the origin of the solar system on the assumption that all planets and satellites revolve in the same direction. He wrote that the axial rotation of the sun and the orbital revolutions and axial rotations of the six planets, the moon, the satellites, and the rings of Saturn present forty-three ...
423. The Reversed Polarity of the Earth, Part 1 Venus Ch.5 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... magnetized than more recent ones. On the assumption that the magnetization Of the rocks occurred when the magma cooled and that the rocks have held their present positions since that time, this would indicate that the polarity of the Earth has been completely reversed within recent geological times."(2 ) Because the physical facts seemed entirely inconsistent with every cosmological theory, the author of the above passage was cautious not to draw further conclusions from them. The reversed polarity of lava indicates that in recent geological times the magnetic poles of the globe were reversed; when they had a very different orientation, abundant flows of lava took place. Additional problems, and of a large scope, are ...
424. The Quarters of the World Displaced, Part 1 Venus Ch.5 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... the east, to the sunrising,"(12) is not tautology, but a definition, which, by the way, testifies to the ancient origin of the literary materials that served as sources for these books; it is an expression that has its counterpart in the Egyptian "the west which is at the sun-setting." The cosmological allegory of the Greeks has Zeus, rushing on his way to engage Typhon in combat, steal Europa (Erev, the evening land) and carry her to the west. Arabia (also Erev) kept its name, "the evening land,"(13) though it lies to the east of the centres of civilization-Egypt, ...
425. Bookshelf [Journals] [SIS Review]
... 1992:1 . A field geologist reviews anomalous geological features and proffers his own theory of the causes of obvious catastrophic formations. Astronomy on Trial: A Devastating and complete Repudiation of the Big Bang Fiasco by R.C .Martin Jr. (1999, $27 50) The author goes on a vigorous attack of modern astronomy and cosmology. He reckons these disciplines are full of blunders and intellectual cover-ups and compiles hundreds of references to prove his point. Catastrophe: An Investigation into the Origins of the Modern World by David Keys (1999, $25 00) This is the book upon which two TV programs were based, details of which were given in Monitor' ...
426. Canopy Skies of Ancient Man by Isaac Vail [Books]
... but the name of the Sun regent or shining vapors. Thus Hesiod's statement of Ouranos coming down from afar to wed Mother Earth comes dangerously near making him a canopist. As it perpetuates and enlarges the Japanese idea of a "heaven close to the earth" so will it enlarge the oriental conception of its final utter recession. Ancient Greek cosmology is continually manifesting this union of Heaven and Earth, and by this cosmic coming together of these two ancient deities all the gods and demi- gods were produced, and were called "earth born", no doubt, because they continually arose from the earth as they revolved as canopy features; and here again let us not forget that ...
427. Historical Supplement [The Age of Velikovsky] [Books]
... must have been Tut's grandfather is more in line with the chronological analysis given by Velikovsky.8 Prof. Lewis M. Greenberg has also presented a new dimension regarding the religious innovations of Aklinaton. 9 He suggested the possibility that the worship of the god Aten may have been the result of a synthesis of Egypt's solar theology with a new cosmological phenomenon (Venus) of considerable importance. Greenberg refers to the conflicts between the religious leaders and Akhnaton, partly due to the Pharaoh's novel marriage arrangements, and also points out the probable needs of the new religion. He then poses some questions about the new religion if it were merely a revised form of sun worship. For example ...
428. Possible Ways Forward [Journals] [SIS Review]
... them? Do we have any special insight or view of them? - not as far as I am aware. Here is another. Zecharia Sitchin has written about a dozen books based on his reading of Mesopotamian clay tablets. He is a literate, intelligent writer on alternative ancient history'. We may discuss his astronomical mechanisms, his cosmology but surely there must be something to his ideas that we can pick up and develop, or learn from. My third point for a possible way forward' is, oddly enough, about chronology. Velikovsky wrote about the reconstruction of the New Kingdom and its relations with Israel and other neighbouring countries. I am not aware that he ...
429. Discussion on Wal Thornhill & Ev Cochrane's papers [Journals] [SIS Review]
... called a cathodeless discharge. In the case of the Sun, there is a region where its electrical influence ends and that of the galaxy begins, known as the heliopause'. The heliopause is the cathode drop region for the Sun's glow discharge. It is a region of strong electric field. One of the most amazing things about modern cosmology is that all that's considered is the physics of the Earth's surface and a few miles above and maybe a few miles below, yet that only constitutes a tiny portion of the makeup of the universe. The universe is made up of 99.999% plasma. Plasma is a tenuous gas in which some of the atoms have lost ...
430. The Literature of the Bible (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... which point to the more remote East. The other religions of antiquity had not undergone so much alteration as the Jewish; consequently their teachings seemed, on closer acquaintance with them, to be full of hidden knowledge. Therefore we do not go very far wrong if we say that the Jewish apocalypticians based their work upon a treasure of primitive cosmological and mythological traditions which had, more or less suddenly, been thrown open in later post-exilic times. If this is really so, they have saved us fragments out of some great store of ancient myths which must otherwise have entirely perished. Apocalyptic proper, therefore, is ancient esoteric knowledge about a terrible destruction of the world in a ...
