... obviously the work which was thought his most representative or important one at that time. Aristotle grasps his Ethics, and Plato-not the Laws, nor the Republic, but, the Timaeus! It may seem odd that of all the many works of Plato just this one should have been chosen, for at the time of Raphael the principles of cosmology and physics which constitute the subject of Timaeus proper were already largely superseded by new speculations. Yet it will not do to accuse such an artist as Raphael of indiscrimination: and the book may well have been chosen for the other subject which it contains-the myth of Atlantis. The Spanish historian, Francisco Lopez de Gomara, was the first ...

444. The Newton Affair [Journals] [Kronos]
... return to the medieval world view. He was a Biblical fundamentalist who tried to prove, among other points, that the Bible contains prophecies of future history. His interest in science was a by-product of his effort to prove that even science does not conflict with Biblical religion, conceived by him as the medieval synthesis of Biblical religion with Aristotelian cosmology. In order to separate the Principia from its background and in order to interpret it as a product of mechanistic science, there has been advanced a new version of the story of Newton's insanity. Instead of assuming that Newton became mentally deranged after writing the Principia, it is assumed that he was mentally deranged up to about that time ...
445. Afterword [Books]
... had been maintained that our Earth was created in six days. Slow evolution replaced instant creation. But was Darwin's theory right? No, it was only partly so. This has become increasingly apparent in the last twenty years, and it should have been apparent early in this century when mutations were first observed. There are problems in astronomical cosmology where we attempt to explain how everything came into being and how it attained its present state. Neither the Nebular theory nor the theory of tidal disruption can fully explain the creation of the Solar System. Neither the Big Bang nor the Steady State theory explains the beginning of the Universe. No single solution exists, no one theory is ...
446. Asimov In Confusion [Journals] [Kronos]
... ever heard of that relates the angular velocity of a satellite to the period of rotation of the planet it circles." COMMENT. - Within the context of Worlds in Collision, Asimov is once again WRONG. In a section of Worlds in Collision titled "The Origin of the Planetary System", Velikovsky was explicitly referring to "existing cosmological theories", particularly the nebular and tidal theories (Cf. W in C, pp. 10-12). Concerning Asimov's remarks on hydrocarbons and Venus' atmosphere, see pages 42 and 113 in the articles by Velikovsky and Juergens elsewhere in this issue. A final point of interest: Despite its obvious scientific errors, despite the repudiations ...
447. An Objective Approach to the Work of Velikovsky [Articles]
... , a world view, in a word a Holosphere which might be rejected or accepted on subjective grounds but cannot be objectively proven. By physical, we refer to the observable or measurable phenomena that have logical connections and thus form a chain of evidence leading to certain demonstrable and verifiable conclusions. Dr. Velikovsky's system of the universe, his cosmology, blends the metaphysical and physical, that is the philosophical and the scientific, in such a way as to baffle the pure scientist who would come to grips with it. What is needed is to separate the metaphysical from the physical, and to treat each act of Dr. Velikovsky's work on its own terms. This is something ...

... dealing with the subjects contained in the Objects, for the use of members; (h ) any other means not contained above. CURRENT CONCERNS The current work of the Society is centred around the theories of Dr Immanuel Velikovsky, with the aim of providing a forum for the many serious investigators now showing a positive interest in his historical and cosmological hypotheses and for the sharing of ideas at every level. The aim is to bring a rational and objective approach to the theories and encourage the detailed evaluation which appears their due in the light of evidence accumulating in their favour; and thus counterbalance the somewhat one-sided coverage accorded over the last quarter-century by the established specialist journals. Problems met ...
450. Shameless Promotion of Pet Paradigms [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... that has always used its intellectual capabilities to perceive order in the universe. Ancient and modern people become united in their common humanity under a sometimes-catastrophic sky. Compared to the ad hoc tumors bloating the body of established science, the electric universe model provides a simple framework in which to perceive order in physical phenomena from the atomic scale to the cosmological. The large-scale structure of the universe becomes intelligible. The dearth of neutrinos from the sun makes sense. The highly non-uniform features of planets and satellites are expected. And the two models intersect. Expected features of the electric universe become the objects of mythic descriptions otherwise lacking referents. Together, the two models enable the perception of a ...
