... 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. (35) 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 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, ...
312. Catastrophism and the Mammoths - I (Vox Populi) [Journals] [Kronos]
... reported as producing a world-wide catastrophe including fire-from-heaven, a great darkness, and a great flood. The explosion was in the constellation Draco, the serpent-that-hugs-the-pole, which according to conventional reckoning was then at the celestial pole. The fire-from-heaven, the Great Green, may have been produced by resonance between oxygen in the supernova and Earth's atmosphere, the Einstein photo-electric principle [J . J. O'Neill, New York Herald-Tribune, 15 Feb. 1953, p II 12] . The planetary nebula NGC 6543 is the most likely candidate for this event. Mr. Ginenthal's attempt to reinterpret the Worzel ash", though spirited, is unconvincing. In accepting a volcanic origin, he ignores the ...
313. The Velikovskian Upheaval: A Temporocentric Challenge [Journals] [Kronos]
... , Compass; Shapley wrote a letter highly critical of Velikovsky to Thackrey for permitting the re-publication, and the latter replied by saying that Velikovsky is "a man of unusual integrity and scholarship, whose painstaking approach to scientific theory is at least a match for your own" (quoted by Kallen, 1972:38; emphasis supplied). Einstein, although firm in his belief that celestial bodies are unaffected by electricity and magneticism, agreed to exert his influence for conducting certain experiments Velikovsky had suggested to him after learning of Jupiter's radio emissions. These several instances of positive responses reveal that by addressing interest in the very phenomena which Velikovsky himself explores, Velikovsky's views become tenable and therefore ...
314. Letters to C&C Workshop 2004:4 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... wedded to the idea that gravitation is the main force in shaping the cosmos and [in the Pot Pourri' section of C&CR 2004:2 , under the heading Velikovsky Re-dissected'] he is quoted as saying that Velikovsky used a force unknown to science. Yet all Velikovsky's ideas were debated with major scientists and his friend Professor Einstein. All of them would have immediately centred on this issue. My understanding is that Velikovsky was anticipating the work of experts in the field of the electric universe and plasma technology by claiming that the major force acting on the cosmos was electricity, and it was the resultant electromagnetism that determined the orbits of planets, rounding them by minimising ...
315. Book Shelf [Journals] [Aeon]
... became personally pessimistic about the outcome of his work. But it appears that we again have an opportunity to open the way to a Velikovskian renaissance. If there is anything we can derive from reading Carl Sagan & Immanuel Velikovsky, it is that the catastrophist interpretation of phenomena will not survive on its own merits in a political milieu. As Einstein once told Velikovsky, ideas must be fought for. The Recent Organization of the Solar System by Donald W. Patten and Samuel R. Windsor (Pacific Meridian Publishing Co., Seattle, 1995). Reviewed by Wal Thornhill In a book that is essentially an expansion of a two-part article that had originally appeared in AEON, ( ...
316. A Word about the Planetary Debate [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... so what he finally produces from each observation is not an absolute report of physical reality in itself, but only of his particular interaction with it at that time. This results in what he can know or go on. It need only be added that, if this self-doubt exists in physics, the hardest of hard science, as Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr and Max Planck and Werner Heisenberg and Erwin Schrodinger and Wolfgang Pauli and David Böhm and Max Born agree, how much more so must it exist in the shifting, elusive, amorphous field of mythology. It is extremely difficult to decide what lies behind the data. Henry Zemel and Earl Milton have offered amusing illustrations of ...
317. Dark Matter [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... spiral galaxies are surrounded by concentric spheres of invisible, weakly-interacting, mathematically-determined but experimentally untestable dark matter. The problem of galactic rotation should not be decided on the basis of untested assumptions. Sten Odenwald suggests, Among the internal fields [of the universe] there may be some we haven't yet discovered. Could the cosmological constant [that Albert Einstein proposed in 1916 as an ad hoc counterforce to gravity] be the fingerprint in our universe of such a "hidden" field? (31) Electro-Gravitic theory shows that this field is not "hidden." Astronomers should not repeat the error committed by the ancient Greeks. They should turn away from deductive concepts such as dark matter ...
318. Kinetic Theory, Gravity, and Critical Fog [Journals] [Aeon]
... to study any failure or limitation of classical physics because extensive reading and practice had convinced him of the possibility of electromagnetic occurrences underlying mechanical phenomena. His interest in physics was in field theory. Those who can actually handle this area mathematically are tolerant of a non-mathematical essay which raises questions and which suggests future avenues of research. For example, Einstein had this tolerance. It is merely a political ploy, a method of discrediting, which harps on "mathematical complexity" in order to subtract points from a cogent essay. (If the mathematics are given, then it will either be called "naive," or dismissed as incomprehensible. Velikovsky was just as well off in using ...

... of that journal are still interested in Velikovsky's work, but only the scientific aspects. In the light of such absurdities one wonders what the supporter of Velikovsky's case can do (apart from avoiding the Haberdasher's Gazette, the backs of cornflake packets and other likely sites for the reappearance of Sagan's article). Perhaps we should take the advice which Einstein proffered to Velikovsky in a 1955 letter discussing the intrigues of Harlow Shapley and "savour the whole episode for its humorous side". After all, only five years ago, the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists (Vol. 31, No. 2, 1975) saw the light - however dimly - and published a comparatively sensible account of ...

Did the Universe really start in a hot Big Bang? New measurements of the temperature of the Universe when it was young provide exciting confirmation that it was indeed hotter in the past. The Universe is filled with unimagined things of great beauty and enormous significance, just waiting to be ...
