192. Eulogies to Three Quantavolutionaries [Books] [de Grazia books]
... being. So much of Velikovsky is alive, it is conceited to call him dead. One needs to remind oneself, even here, even a few yards from his home, that he has departed. What is to be published of his now? There is much, none of it quite ready for the presses. His exchanges with Einstein are almost in final written form; here his advocacy of electromagnetic forces in astrophysics is on stage. His book on the Saturn catastrophe needs only modest attentions. The two remaining links of his reconstruction of ancient history- dealings with the Greek Dark Ages' and the Assyrian conquests- are nearly completed. Several volumes of materials concerning the ...
193. Discussion on Wal Thornhill & Ev Cochrane's papers [Journals] [SIS Review]
... it is the most ill-determined of the physical constants. To say we can measure the density of the giant outer planets Jupiter and Saturn is mistaken. All we are doing is measuring something about their electrical state. We can't say anything definite about their composition based on apparent density, because mass is dependent upon the charge on those bodies. Einstein, when he scribbled up on the blackboard E = mc2, made an assumption that is unwarranted, that energy and matter are interchangeable. Wal would say that the electrostatic rearrangement of sub-atomic particle resonances produces an apparent change in mass but it does not destroy or create matter. ...
194. Book Review: Silencing Scientists [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... and of access to information that threaten to overturn cherished theories and the reputations of the interests' that promote them. We are provided by the author with a number of well researched case studies to support his thesis. Moran discusses the infamous Velikovsky case which began in 1950 when the latter, a dedicated and pugnacious scholar who once worked with Einstein, published Worlds in Collision. Needless to say, Velikovsky was excoriated by the academic establishment, which pitted against him the redoubtable Carl Sagan. Sagan and his friends subjected Velikovsky to what is perhaps the most vicious smear campaign in intellectual history and effectively destroyed his career. There is, at least, some poetic justice in the fact ...
195. Firmament & Chaos by John Ackerman (Book Review). C&C Review 2002:1 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... enough to generate a quantum leap in our intelligence. We are also asked to believe that because of Mars's weak gravity they were very tall, yet somehow their legs and hearts were still strong enough for them to be able to survive on Earth. Anyone comparing a modern white Aryan' like George W. Bush with non-Aryans such as Albert Einstein or Nelson Mandela might well question the claims of superior intelligence. Perhaps if Ackerman could substantiate his claim that the Tocharians were a genetically different, superior race to Neolithic humans like the Ice Man' Otzi', or if there was evidence that the Tocharians died from broken legs and heart attacks - or if he could show us evidence ...
196. Some Good Advice [Journals] [Kronos]
... as Ivan King put it). When a volume really is devoted to serious examination and criticism of a man's work, the format and atmosphere are light-years away from what the AAAS people are doing. I have in mind, for example, the Library of Living Philosophers series edited by Paul A. Schilpp. That series includes publications on Einstein, on Russell, and on many others. Each such volume includes a long bibliography of the man's writings, and a long preliminary essay by him in the form of an intellectual autobiography. There are a number of critical articles included in such a volume, but the man whose work is at issue is given as much time and ...

198. Redshift Anomalies [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... turn of the century which were supposed to determine the true nature of light and found there is an alternative explanation. In the best tradition of science (honoured more in the breach these days) he has devised modern experiments to help choose between the various alternative interpretations of the old results. I believe that Ralph's work, which does what Einstein failed to do - relating electrostatics, magnetism, gravity and what we call electromagnetism in one simple theory, is the most important breakthrough in physics of all time. ...
... Egyptian images, until then unsuspected, presented deities handling a fire drill. Simple enough: fire itself was the link between what the gods did and what man could do. But from there, the mind had once been able to move on to prodigious feats of intellect. That world of the mind was fully worthy of those Newtons and Einsteins long forgotten- those masters, as d' Alembert put it, of whom we know nothing, and to whom we owe everything. We had the idea. It was simple and clear. But we realized that we would run into formidable difficulties, both from the point of view of modern, current scholarship and from the no less ...
200. The Velikovsky Affair [Books] [de Grazia books]
... . The controversy has had many striking facets. One has been the large participation of the public. It continues to increase. Velikovsky has managed to talk to people about mythology, archaeology, astronomy, and geology, without doing injustice to those disciplines, in an amazing and unprecedented manner. Socrates, Aristotle, Galileo, Freud, and Einstein - to name a few thinkers who were implicated in crowd phenomena' - were not public figures in the sense here taken. His public - a well-behaved, educated, well-intentioned and diversified aggregate-has supported Velikovsky on every possible occasion. That he was a foreigner with a Russian accent, a psychiatrist, unequivocably a Jew, denounced ...
