... ) was to show that the whole universe was governed by laws. In point of fact those laws could become oppressive and there was dissatisfaction with the laws. In Germany, although Germany was very much a state of laws, just as was England and France, it became very much an oppressive state of laws. People like Marx, Einstein, Freud, often the Jewish intellectual community who were, on the one hand, part of the German community and on the other hand not quite part of it, they felt the alienation. Marx in his early writings writes of the feeling of alienation and the unwillingness to submit to the laws that German philosophers like Hegel insisted were ...
342. Thoth Vol II, No. 8: May 15, 1998 [Journals] [Thoth]
... for the complex phenomena observed on and above the photosphere. So despite the clever mathematical virtuosity displayed, I suggest the standard model simply doesn't apply to our sun or any other star. The field is wide open for new ideas! Wal Thornhill More responses to later questions on the same subject: What I tried to emphasize is that the Einstein model of gravity is wrong. In its place I favor a neo-classical physics approach which relates inertial and gravitational mass to nuclear electrostatic dipoles and the transmission of the electrostatic force at near infinite speed. In this model, the Newtonian gravitational constant, G, is neither constant nor universal. It depends to a great extent on the electric ...
343. Questions from the Floor [Articles]
... can tell you is this: a number of people have been helping Mrs. Velikovsky in her task of preparing various manuscripts for submission to publishers. Most of the effort so far has been devoted to Mankind in Amnesia which is just about ready. Another volume that needs relatively little work, is Velikovsky's account of his exchanges and debates with Einstein. A third book, a long book, in which Velikovsky replies to scores of his critics from the forties and fifties, is also in very good shape and nearly ready to publish, and finally the co-authored volume of replies to the AAAS-Cornell people is mostly written now. Velikovsky's own contributions to that volume are complete. Unfortunately, ...
344. Transcript of the Morning Session of the A.A.A.S. Symposium [Articles]
... from Newton, because he was farsighted. He saw the phenomena which I- well- had long battle for with astronomical society. I was considered outcast exactly for, more than for anything else, for claiming that, besides inertia and gravitation, also electromagnetic forces and fields do participate, and on one of my letters, the late Einstein wrote,"Yes", this was the main cause of the great agitation against you. Now, as to Professor Sagan- [laughter, applause] VOICE: That's good. Right there. VELIKOVSKY:- let me quote one single sentence from his new book. In his new book he says, "Jokes are a ...
345. Cataclysms of the Earth [Books]
... The atom bomb has demolished older ideas, and appears to have established the equivalence of mass and energy. Two principles, the very cornerstones of the structure of modern science, hold that neither matter nor energy can be created or destroyed-but only altered in form. The quantitative equivalence of mass and energy is based on the accepted-but unproven-suggestion by Albert Einstein that the relationship of energy, E, to mass, m, is shown in the equation E = mc2, where c is the velocity of light. If measured according to our conventional time-distance reckoning, the velocity of light is estimated at 186,300 miles per second. From this, there has come to be a general ...
346. Velikovsky's Sources Volume Four [Books]
... blend of fact and fiction that my confidence in them is hardly inspired. After all, a historian of the future, in a quest for facts about the chronology of the mid twentieth century, would be genuinely nonplussed by texts which flitted from Hitler to Donald Duck, or from President Kennedy to Tarzan. When asked to decide whether Albert Einstein lived before or after Flash Gordon our historian could be forgiven for tip- toeing quietly away. Augustine's earnest debate over whether or not Hercules preceded Mercury is a case in point. (vi) One final chronological point: on WIC p.171 V writes that Augustine also synchronised Joshua with the time of Minerva' s activities. ...

... of great artists and technologists (artist being then the word for artisan). What is clear is that by the end of the Renaissance time and space had become what we mean by them. Newton conceived of the frame of the universe as made up of absolute space and time. The mode of thought became natural, and not until Einstein did new and greater difficulties arise to resist the imagination. Today one should begin to appreciate the divine simplicity of the archaic frame, which took time as the one frame, even at the terrible price of making the cosmos itself into the "bubble universe." It was a decisive option. The choice went deep to the roots ...
348. The Third World of Science [Books] [de Grazia books]
... write the book. Then I gave him some firm advice. I said "you must finish Peoples of the Sea and the Ramses II volume promptly and publish them. You must not lecture and run around. Ten people can go around lecturing about you but only you can finish these books. Furthermore, you must not work on the Einstein book, or Stargazers and Gravediggers, or Ash. These can be finished by someone else. You must write something, if only 30 pages, on your theories of what happened in the skies before Venus in 1500 B.C ." He agreed, "You are right!" He added, however, that he must ...
349. Oberg's Unscientific Method [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... its intended goal- to prevent otherwise neutral scientists from being willing to speak out publicly with any favourable remark about such an idea.(144) (Emphasis added.) James E. Oberg, Carl Sagan and David Morrison pretend to know what true science and pseudoscience are. However, I believe these critics could take a lesson from Albert Einstein, who- according to the science historian Bernard 1. Cohen- said of Velikovsky's work that "there is no objective test of whether notions that contravene accepted scientific ideas and theories are the work of a crank or a genius, nor whether such ideas will forever seem crazy or perhaps become the orthodoxy of the future."(145) ...
350. Sagan's fourth problem: Terrestrial Geology And Lunar Craters (Carl Sagan & Immanuel Velikovsky) [Books]
... , p. 199, "Currently, it is believed that the Moon of today does consist of a crust, a mantle, and possibly a core like that of the Earth." Thus, whatever ancient craters had existed would have melted and disappeared. It is thought the Moon went through this same process. Sagan's bitter pill Albert Einstein, prior to the publication of Earth in Upheaval, felt Velikovsky's evidence important enough that he read and reread the manuscript and added margin notes. Einstein's serious and thoughtful attitude contrasts quite strongly with Sagan's unreasoning view that the book, with its evidence, does not even exist and displays quite well the narrow and unscholarly nature of Carl Sagan's ...
