Douglas, Rockville, MD, USA Einstein and Relativity Dear Sir, Mr Andrew has written to you referring to my Exasperated Protest'. He wants us to believe in Einstein's relativity theory no matter what it means. He presents two contradictory versions of it (changes in moving') things are real or they are only appearances) and implies that it is a matter of ...
242. Stephen Jay Gould and Immanuel Velikovsky [Books]
... does not tell his readers this or how these "merely foolish" scientists and academics then blacklisted Atwater for the rest of his life from ever finding employment in the field of science. Having a scientist and academic like Gould call "fascist" and "totalitarian" behavior "merely foolish" is clearly revisionism of some sort. But Albert Einstein understood that Gould's description of the suppression of Velikovsky's book was not "foolish," but was decidedly "evil." As reported by Bernard I. Cohen in Scientific American in July 1955, "Einstein was sorry that scientists in the U.S . had protested to publishers about the publication of such a book. He thought ...

Ransom and David Carlyle, the physicists who put together the 1971 bulletin, "Lunar Probes and Velikovsky's Advance Claims"; William Birenbaum, president, Staten Island Community College; and others.

244. A Rage to Deny: The Roots of the Velikovsky Affair [Books]
... bold generalizations about the universal workings of cause and effect" (101) because "there is no universal now'" upon which to found one's obiter dicta, "there is only "here and now" for each observer." (102) To be more precise, Planck had shown that the world is discontinuous and uncertain and Einstein had rejected absolute space and absolute time, which meant that there was no objective world for the Newtonianist to measure nor a Newtonian observer free of a frame of reference to measure it. There was only a continuum created by the interplay between science and nature. What this means is that Newtonian classical determinist science, which Shapley to Bauer ...
... of rational understanding will believe that a thing acts where it is not." Newton himself put the first query, by stating the theory of gravitation- mathematically irresistible, physically unexplainable. He could only accept it: "I do not understand it, and I am going to feign no suppositions." the answer was to come only with Einstein. It amounted to pure mathematical rationalization, which did away with simple location, and with concreteness altogether. The edifice of Descartes lay in ruins. Nonetheless, the mind of civilized man clung to other principles invincibly, as being equal to common sense. It was a model case of habit having become second nature. The birth of ...
246. THE VELIKOVSKY AFFAIR [Journals] [Aeon]
... Worlds in Collision was advertised lavishly and sensationally and it quickly became a best-seller. Most reviews in newspapers and popular magazines followed the lead given by the advertisements: the book was highly original, a tour de force in history and science, a challenge to conventional ideas, a work in the tradition of Galileo, Newton, Darwin, and Einstein. But among the academic community- in particular among scientists- the reaction was very different. Velikovsky was called ignorant and incompetent in science and in historical scholarship: his method was tendentious, his data biased, his conclusions impossible. And there followed strong actions congruent with those words of outrage: professors threatened that they would boycott Macmillan ...

From: Pensée Vol. 4 No 5: (Winter 1974-75) "Immanuel Velikovsky Reconsidered X" Home | Issue Contents Why Pensee?Reflections upon completion of our tenth issue Looking to the future Compendium Review With a certain regularity Pensee receives- and rejects- manuscripts demonstrating the ultimate "nature of the universe," confuting Einstein, exhibiting new and fundamental laws of material behavior, proposing "keys" that unlock the mysteries of the past . . . . (the list could be completed from the correspondence files of any scientist who publicly engages controversial questions). With only somewhat less regularity our rejection of these manuscripts evokes the bitter reply: "You're treating me the same way ...

... From: The Velikovskian Vol 4 No 3 (1999) Home | Issue Contents Conclusion: Entropy Charles Ginenthal "I want to know how God created this world. I am not interested in this or that phenomenon, in the spectrum of this or that element. I want to know His thoughts, the rest are details." Albert Einstein in Timothy Ferris, Coming of Age in the Milky Way (New York, 1988), p. 177. "The Universe is in fact a botched job, but I suppose we will have to make the best of it."

... gases are in motion. It appears probable. . . that it sends out radio noises as do the sun and the stars. Later [~ ~] he added that "these claims were not made casually or in a veiled form. Some of my arguments for Jupiter sending out radio-noises can be learned from my correspondence with A. Einstein. I could add that if the solar system as a whole is close to neutrality, and the planets possess charges of opposite sign to that of the sun, Jupiter must have the largest charge among the planets. Rotating quickly the charged planet creates an intense magnetosphere." Menzel [2471, one of Velikovsky's most outspoken critics, ...

Rather, based on the nature and scope of his challenge to the paradigmatic assumptions of his age, I propose to present him as a useful case study of how certain personal and environmental ...
