... the 20th century that, with the advent of Einstein's law of gravitation, it was possible to explain the remaining anomaly - namely, the fact that the orbit of the planet Mercury was processing, very slowly, at a rate which could not be accounted for by Newtonian gravitation - but with the very slight modification made in the Law by Einstein, this also could be included into a gravitational explanation. Now, when we look at the solar system, we find that the orbits are nicely spaced out. We find that the orbits are almost coplanar. We find that they are almost circular, whether we are dealing with moons or planets. When we deal with comets, ...
292. Velikovsky and the Apparatus of Scholarship [Journals] [SIS Review]
... support and investigation. But this must be scholarly and scientific support and investigation, buttressed by rigid objectivity and scientific scholarship. What I am insisting is that Dr Velikovsky, who was undoubtedly a brilliant man, suffered from the same limitations as did all brilliant men before him - Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Ptolemy, Newton, Darwin, Einstein, etc., namely human fallibility. Now I realize that many of you must be thinking that Velikovsky denied any infallibility in the introduction to Ages in Chaos. Yes, indeed he did. And his supporters too are quick to say that "of course Velikovsky made mistakes". But in dealing with Velikovsky personally and with so ...
293. Thoth Vol I, No. 1: January 25, 1997 [Journals] [Thoth]
... and matching. The results have been very encouraging and interesting. I should state my prejudices concerning the present state of science. I would characterize the scientific age as being the age of homo sapiens ignoramus. To be specific about our ignorance in the areas most likely to affect the Saturnian configuration, I would list the following: GRAVITY - Einstein, with his geometric DESCRIPTION of gravity has held back understanding by the better part of a century. The most promising work in EXPLAINING gravity is being done by a handful of Classical Physicists who see it as a minute imbalance in electrostatic forces associated with fundamental particles. The recent announcement of the accidental discovery of gravitational shielding by a rotating ...
294. Physics, Astronomy and Chronology. Part One: Radiometric Chronometry [Journals] [SIS Review]
... in space are easiest to understand by concluding that the stars are at rest' and that the motions observed are those of the Earth, the Sun, and the Milky Way galaxy. The Earth's cosmic charge is equally easily deduced as a simpler solution than the uncharged Earth, given the evidence. But, in this case, "the Einstein" has not yet been recognised - to convince most scientists that relativity is also applicable to electrical charges [28]. Conclusion At this point it is prudent to remind the reader that I am contending that radioactive processes cannot be used to fabricate a reliable absolute chronology. The long-lived isotopes require an assumed initial chemistry and an undisturbed environment ...
295. Fingerprints of the Gods: do ancient relicts point to an advanced civilisation 15,000 years ago? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... , it begins to feel like a very fragile environment we are living on here - we are living on this big spaceship subjected to titanic forces in the universe around us. The theory that I present in Fingerprints of the Gods was first presented by Charles Hapgood in the early 1950s and supported at that time as to its physics by Albert Einstein, who died unfortunately shortly afterwards. Quite simply what it argues is that it is possible from time to time that the entire outer crust of the earth could shift in one piece around the body of the earth - like the loose skin of an orange slipping around the fruit - and when this happens, land that was situated in ...
... diploma. The next few years Velikovsky spent in Berlin, where he was involved in the foundation and publication of Scripta Universitatis. In this series of volumes, conceived as a cornerstone for what would become a Hebrew university, contributions from outstanding Jewish scholars in all countries were published in their native languages and in Hebrew translation. The late Albert Einstein edited the mathematical-physical volume of the Scripta. In Berlin, Velikovsky met and married violinist Elisheva Kramer of Hamburg. Later the same year, the young couple moved to Palestine and the doctor began his practice of medicine. For fifteen years this practice - first as a general practitioner in Jerusalem, and later, after psychiatric training in Europe ...
297. Foreword to Recollections of a Fallen Sky [Books]
... "René Thom Clears Up Catastrophes", 68:578(4 December 1975). 7. Bass Robert, "Did Worlds Collide?" Pensée 4(3 ): 8-20 (Summer 1974); "Proofs" of the Stability of the Solar System, op.cit., pages 21-26. 8. The inability of Einstein to unify the gravitational field (general relativity) with the electromagnetic field (special relativity) may arise because the two fields are different descriptions of a single interaction. Until the nature of gravitation is realized, progress can be expected to be slow in finding a physical mechanism for Velikovsky's cosmology. 9. Dudley, H. C. ...
298. Cultural Amnesia [Books]
... time of the Assyrian kings, and have been growing in scale as preparations for war continue. in the last century the Russian philosopher Vladimir Solovyov recognized that almost all technology for peaceful uses had firstly originated and developed to serve destruction. The awarding of the Nobel Peace prizes has been of no help in preventing military conflicts. Freud exchanged with Einstein famous letters on the subject of Why War? ' - but he resigned himself to the unavoidability of human carnage. Due to the persistent urge for destruction in man, already early in the development of his theory he realized that traumatic experiences, whether of physical or psychological nature, cause amnesia in the individual; and further, as ...
... Therefore, the Earth did not have to come to a complete stop as Sagan seems to suggest and the energy of rotation did not have to all be converted into heat to kill all life in the oceans. In our discussion of Sagan's Appendix II we will show that the concept of a tectonic polar shift was well thought of by Albert Einstein, who was quite willing to give his support to just such a concept. It is only by avoiding and ignoring this concept that Sagan can raise the issue of boiling oceans. NOTES & REFERENCES 1.SCV, p. 64; B.B ., p. 100. 2. Hsu, Kenneth; The Great Dying ...
300. Society News [Journals] [SIS Review]
... roughly the right places. That is the extraordinary accuracy. Margaret Grant asked why all the ancient peoples made such a tremendous study of Venus and why they were so frightened they made her a goddess. The ancient Southern America people seem to have had much greater fear of Venus than people in the Western hemisphere did. Trevor Palmer noted that Einstein criticised Hapgood's earlier theories, saying that the pressure of the ice couldn't trigger off the movement of the earth's crust by itself. Later Hapgood agreed with this and produced an alternative model to explain how crustal displacement worked. John Crowe asked what evidence there is that the axis of the earth has moved? Is there a view here then ...
