... younger Velikovsky had already founded the Scripta Universitatis Hierosolymitinarum, or Journal of the Hebrew University, which published the work of leading Jewish scholars in both their original language and Hebrew. Organized 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." (9 ) Its first paper, on biochemistry, was contributed by Chaim Weitzmann, who proposed that it ...
282. A Personal Reminiscence [Journals] [Aeon]
... directly involved in the book's publication but who had praised it warmly. Already in 1946, O'Neill had referred to Velikovsky's manuscript before its publication as "a magnificent piece of scholarly historical research;" Larrabee and Lear wrote articles in Harper's and Collier's announcing Velikovsky's work as a major discovery, ranking with the work of Darwin, Newton, and Einstein, and Kallen praised its originality. That the book appeared, with its challenge to scientific authority, shortly after the dropping of nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki must have greatly influenced the scientific community in its bitter and violent denunciation of Velikovsky- a denunciation labeling him a charlatan with no regard for truth, seeking only self-aggrandizement. The ...
283. Gravity and Pterodactyls: More Points to Consider [Journals] [Aeon]
... some larger fraction of our present gravity. That has never even been tested, much less proved. The Biefield Brown effect, concerning which Jueneman claimed ignorance, [5 ] was first discovered by Thomas Townsend Brown in about 1920 and further investigated with Dr. Paul Biefield. The latter had been a classmate and a close friend of Albert Einstein in Switzerland. The effect in question is not mentioned in most physics texts for the same reasons that Immanuel Velikovsky is not included in history books. The effect discovered by Brown concerns the motion of an object that is electrically charged with a high positive and negative voltage in the direction of the positive pole. Brown constructed discs with the ...
284. Additional Examples of Correct Prognosis [Books] [de Grazia books]
... later came as great surprises, though I have insisted in my published works, in my lectures, and in my letters that these physical conditions are directly deducible from my theory. 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. In the last chapter of W. in C. ( ' ...
285. Homo Schizo Meets God [Books] [de Grazia books]
... We are but pygmies, standing on the shoulders of giants. ' We should also say, We are giants standing on the shoulders of pygmies, ' Or better, We are monkeys, swinging carelessly along a dizzying network of vines mysteriously placed and oriented. ' Sometime in 1970, Deg met biologist Dr. Karl Schildkraut of the Albert Einstein Medical School through Dr. Annette Tobia. He was interested in Deg's University scheme and they talked a couple of times about heredity. Perhaps these contacts brought about a note foreshadowing some of his passages on evolution: .. .Unless one resorts to an immense number of mutations (practically begging the question whether uniformitarian or catastrophic), ...
286. Forum [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... of the speed of light by Setterfield, this work on obliquity deviations deserves no credence until it is published and validated by competent scholars. I have tried with no success to track down the full published record of Dodwell's work. Secondly, Warlow's attempt to finesse the absence of physical evidence for a geographic inversion using an ad hominem quote by Einstein is an obfuscation and possibly an implicit repudiation of his book, The Reversing Earth. My aside states: there simply is no physical evidence for a geographical inversion ever having happened. ' Warlow's book discusses four lines of physical evidence that supposedly support their occurrence: geomagnetic reversals, ice ages, sea-level changes, and mass extinctions. Perhaps ...
287. A Philosophy for Interdisciplinary Studies [Journals] [SIS Review]
... , and in consequence of this last view, it is maintained that it is misleading to say that one paradigm is more "true" than another, or that one gets closer and closer to the truth as one paradigm succeeds another - say, when the pre-Copernican cosmology is succeeded by the Copernican, or that of Newton by that of Einstein [5 ]. If to defy a reigning paradigm is to be a crank, then VELIKOVSKY, who has defied at least three paradigms, in astronomy, palaeontology and ancient history, is triply a crank. But then, Copernicus and Galileo were cranks for exactly the same reason. It might be objected that the scientific community later ...
288. Retrospect [Journals] [SIS Review]
... celestial mechanics built only on gravitation and inertia is incomplete. "The celestial mechanics of 1974 is a living, vital science that admits of nongravitational effects, of electromagnetic interactions." He asserted that the knowledge that electromagnetic phenomena participate in the working of the solar system was from the beginning of the century in the sight of the astronomers. EINSTEIN, however, in the summer of 1954 expressed himself in writing to me very clearly to the effect that my introduction of electromagnetism into celestial mechanics was the cause of the great opposition I encountered. Mulholland admitted that if "a planet-sized object were to pass close by the Earth" then practically all of the phenomena described in Worlds in ...

While we await the arrival of a genius like Newton or Einstein it seems we must suffer the clamour of inferior intellects. ELECTROMAGNETISM A new electromagnetic theory of everything?Scientific American May 1994, p. 76 and New Scientist 20.8 .94, p. 76 The nature of gravity and inertia still remains a fundamental problem for physicists. A recent attempt to solve the problem explains gravity as ...
290. The Original Star of Dawn [Articles]
... , those who investigated the Morning Star problem of the Pawnee reached different conclusions. In spite of the evidence to the contrary, some continued to suspect Venus. Others opted for Mars or Jupiter, while some even suggested stars rather than planets. In an endeavor to settle the issue, the archaeoastronomer Von del Chamberlain decided to use the Albert Einstein Spacearium of the National Air and Space Museum to run the skies back to 1800-during which time the Pawnee had still been observing Morning Star-and then project the system forward by 200 years. What he saw screened on the planetarium dome convinced him beyond a reasonable doubt that the Morning Star of the Skidi Pawnee was indeed Mars, a conclusion that ...
