... their opening statement dedicating the initial issue to "Immanuel Velikovsky - Progenitor and inspirational force for the ideas contained herein", the editors speak of the beginning of a second quarter-century of "a new direction of interdisciplinary thought, scholarship and synthesis. For it was twenty-five years ago that Velikovsky revived the concept of the Renaissance Man and first openly crossed the artificial boundaries of the specialized study in an effort to fathom the riddles of the Cosmos and unravel the tangled web of human endeavour in all its manifold aspects". The Credo of the journal is given in the same statement: "May Kronos serve as an inspiring beacon to all who would ask fundamental questions concerning the established precepts ...
342. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Review]
... for some time that Pluto's orbit is chaotic', but now one team has taken into account the possible influence of Jupiter and Saturn; when they line up in front of the Sun, could their gravitational pull cause dramatic effects? It seems that they may well cause massive disturbances in the asteroid belt, throwing some asteroids into orbits which crossed that of Earth. The team suggests that a burst of such chaos could explain the Permian and Cretaceous extinctions. Given that the team's computer programme is based only on gravitational effects and not electrical, and given that chaotic systems are not predictable in any case, might we suggest that chaotic breakdown of the solar system could happen every few ...
343. Comments on the Second Issue [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... Mars' present distance would be 34 km/s . Eric W.Crew. Broxbourne, Herts., U.K . * * * What you say is true of bodies entering the Solar System from outer space. Such bodies exist and may enter the system singly or in showers, in parabolic or hyperbolic orbits. The collisional cross section of all the planets combined is infinitesimal in relation to the diameter of the system, so that the resulting impacts will be very few and far between, and could not have been the source of the thousands of craters bespattering the Moon, Mars and Mercury. Moreover, on this reckoning the craters on Mercury ought to be the ...
344. Bone Breccias (Comments on Apophoreta-3) [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... uniformitarian influence exists in sedimentology as in palaeontology, with in the interpretation of sediments an aversion from every such common and minor catastrophes as rapid mass movements. Even if we are willing to consider catastrophist hypotheses, some basic data may be lacking, and thus the "cooperation" of the two specialities may lead to a typical case of "cross sterilisation", so common between two different disciplines or even branches of the same discipline. Han Kloosterman The hypothesis you object to also bothers me. The hall displaying the block of bones is to be revised and that will give us the opportunity to revise the captions for the exhibits. I think the critical evidence here is the extent ...
345. The Legends of the Jews: Volume III [Books]
... to conduct myself as if I were his pupil; let it be as if he were high priest, and I a common priest; he is king, and I his servant." God replied: "I have sworn by My great name, which ' the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain, ' that thou shalt not cross the Jordan." Moses: "Lord of the world! Let me at least, by the power of the Ineffable Name, fly like a bird in the air; or make me like a fish transform my two arms to fins and my hair to scales, that like a fish I may leap over the Jordan and see ...
346. Horizontal Landslides During the 1960 Chile Earthquake [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... much as 100 metres, following a shear plane the slope of which diminishes with depth. They formed three natural dams, obstructing completely the canyon-shaped valley of the Rio San Pedro, which drains Lake Rihihue. The slide has affected a mass estimated by Chilean officials at 5 million cubic metres. These layers received an impulse sufficient to make them cross over breaking up into a series of microcuestas - the whole width of the San Pedro flat, more than 1000 m. That distance is 8 to 10 times the vertical displacement. A second example, from the region of Lake Neltume, concerns a slide of volcanic tuffs, some 4 to 5 metres thick, from a slope of ...
... ]; "daring and original" [92P]; Velikovsky is an "arch-heretic" [233]. Not many of us could resist such a succession of superlatives, particularly when the author ranges over virtually all the fields of learning, in the company of the greatest men of the past and present: "Dr. Velikovsky's work crosses so many of the jurisdictional boundaries of learning that few experts could check it against their own competence . . ." [~ oçj]; "did not convince his fellow-scholars. Neither.., did Pythagoras, Thales, Galileo or Copernicus . . ." [9 ~K ]; "the initial rejection of Velikovsky's ideas ...

... of Venus and Mars are much more difficult to explain.(13) In addition to the changed angular momentum of Mars (see L. Rose on Mars' orbit in this issue) recent radar studies and Mariner 9 photographs reveal that Mars has other unexpected features. Certain areas of the surface appear to be covered by recent lava flows crossed with wide faults. In Worlds in Collision Velikovsky said that any "canals" on Mars were not constructed by intelligent beings, but rather are ". . . a result of the play of geological forces that answered with rifts and cracks the outer forces acting in collisions." (Doubleday edition, p. 364) These external ...

... ] was prevented by a great flood."(7 ) Just as Cardona cites a rider Jewish legend that tells how the Pleiades are chased by the Great Bear,(8 ) so from the Kimberleys region there is a legend that tells: "The seven sisters are chased by the Eagle Hawk"(9 ) (the Southern Cross). And from eastern Arnhem Land: "Pingal the moon lusts after the sisters and pursues them. ''(10) Modern astronomers believe that the major stars of the Pleiades group are, in astronomical parlance, relatively young. The Aborigines support this concept, as is evident from their considering the Pleiades constellation to be the ...

... learned discussion that he could not attract their attention, and he had to return, his errand unfulfilled. (2 ) Elijah's promise to bestow a double portion of his wondrous spirit upon his disciple was realized instantaneously. During his life Elisha performed sixteen miracles, and eight was all his master had performed. The first of them, the crossing of the Jordan, was more remarkable than the corresponding wonder done by Elijah, for Elisha traversed the river alone, and Elijah had been accompanied by Elisha. Two saints always have more power than one by himself. (3 ) His second miracle, the "healing" of the waters of Jericho, so that they became fit ...
