... the younger Velikovsky had already founded the Scripta Universitatis Hierosolymitinarum, or Journal of the Hebrew University, which published the work of leading Jewish scholars in the original language and Hebrew. Organised in collaboration with the Orientalist Heinrich Loewe, it was divided into two sections, Orientalia et Judaica, edited by Loewe, and Mathematica et Physica, edited by Einstein, with whom Velikovsky remained acquainted until Einstein's death. In Israel, later in the decade, he founded and edited the Hebrew journal Scripta Academica, funded by his father to promote the revival of Jewish scientific thought' [ibid]. Its first paper, on biochemistry, was contributed by Chaim Weitzmann, who proposed that it should ...
272. H. H. Hess and My Memoranda [Journals] [Pensee]
... were prominent in their fields and who, since the beginning of my work and through the years showed me more than casual interest and sympathy, I name Robert Pfeiffer, Orientalist and Biblical scholar (d . 1958); Horace M. Kallen, philosopher and educator; Walter S. Adams, astronomer (d . 1956); Albert Einstein (, I . 1955); and Harry Hess, who died in his sixty-fourth year, three years ago. Kallen alone of all of them is alive, having these days reached the venerable age of ninety, still active as writer and lecturer, with time having dimmed none of his mental abilities. They were few, but ...
273. Seti's Foreign Connections [Journals] [Kronos]
... from the above thoughts, of very great moment if gamma can be deduced from something more fundamental, since this must eventually lead to a grasp of the mechanism of gravitation, which is presently unknown. Just a word should be said here about the General Theory of Relativity, which is developed fully, with Tensor Calculus, in PAUS. Einstein developed an alternative way to treat gravitation, and his way led to a correct prediction of the shift in the perihelion of Mercury, and of the degree to which a ray of light is deflected by a proximate mass. His system, like everything else he created, is superb and of great interest. It does not disclose the ...

275. Letters [Journals] [SIS Review]
... present looked anything like the Orion of the past to the ancient Egyptians. To join Alasdair Beal on a more realistic level: that the Egyptians probably discovered precession after the pyramids were built is very likely true but I would like to discuss how the pyramids might have been aligned by direct observation as proposed by Clapham. If we use the Einstein concept of thought experiments in this case, I would suggest we start by imagining ourselves as observers standing on the roof of a multi-story hotel in Cairo to the north of the Giza pyramids at night, with Orion visible in the sky to the south. Then Orion's belt of three stars, appears, the variable Mintaka at the top ...
276. On Morrison: Some Final Remarks (Forum) [Journals] [Kronos]
... affairs, seems to be equated to an attack upon Newton, and those who have followed him. Is he deity, Dr. Morrison? Was he omniscient? In my study of cosmic processes I find that the absolute level of electric charge on a body is indeterminate in the same manner as the inability to determine absolute linear motion. Einstein showed that, since the Universe contains no marker stating this point is at rest, it is not possible to determine motion or rest except by referring to some other body. Likewise, I find that measurement of charge-level is hindered by the absence of a marker denoting that this point is electrically neutral. For motion we can detect change ...
277. On the Possibility of Instantaneous Shifts of the Poles [Journals] [Aeon]
... ice caps eccentrical to the poles. In this way the Earth would keep its axis of rotation unchanged, but the poles and the whole Earth's surface would shift and change latitude. The evidence proving that the poles where in different positions during the Pleistocene era is quite impressive, and this explains why Hapgood's theory was approved by scientists such as Einstein and K.F . Mather. But it meets with so many difficulties that it appears highly controversial. Above all, it is not compatible with other geological theories which are widely accepted today, such as the drift of the continents and related theories. Furthermore the theory does not explain some of the most significant peculiarities of Pleistocene's climate ...
278. The Celestial Dynamics of "Worlds in Collision" [Journals] [SIS Review]
... motion, the fact that all the planets are of the same sign means that the perturbations will not be the same as predicted by Newtonian mechanics; and, as Dr Roy mentioned, these perturbations are known so accurately that we can predict the precession of the perihelion of Mercury to within 43 seconds of arc per century, as explained by Einstein. This distribution of charges, then, is precluded by the observed perturbations of the planets. Melvin Cook is almost a Nobel prizewinner: he received a prize known as the Nitro-Nobel Medal given on the 50th anniversary of the death of Alfred Nobel for the best work in the physical chemistry of high explosives; he has also received the ...

But was Velikovsky himself a physicist or astronomer? No. His training was in law, economics, history and medicine. Did he pretend to be a physicist or astronomer? No. But intensive historical research did lead him to believe that physicists and ...
