... response to a growing interest in the works of modern catastrophists, notably the highly controversial Dr Immanuel Velikovsky. In his books Worlds in Collision, Earth in Upheaval and Ages in Chaos he argued that the ancient myths and sources such as the Bible contained records of planetary catastrophes in the Earth's history and, based on this, he suggested that geology, cosmology and ancient history should be reconsidered. In cosmology he proposed that electricity played a much larger role than in the orthodox scheme and that Venus in particular was a young planet. In ancient history, he proposed that the orthodox chronology should be severely shortened to eliminate false identifications and fictitious dark ages'. Over the years, ...

913. Introduction to Velikovsky [Articles]
... , and "Ages in Chaos" in 1952, and since then, Dr. Velikovsky has expanded "Ages in Chaos" to five volumes, several of which are very near to publication. Then, in 1955, Velikovsky published, "Earth in Upheaval", which argued the same point, but this time on the basis of geological evidence. In 1960, the book "Oedipus and Akhmaton" appeared, being the result of the investigations begun in 1939, but deferred until the other books had been completed. At present, in addition to completing the four additional volumes of "Ages in Chaos", Velikovsky is examining the problem of cultural amnesia, in a ...
914. The Fracture Zones In Deep Polar Ice Cores [Journals] [Aeon]
... , Johnsen, and Dahl-Jensen. Ice Core Samples In order to clarify the boundaries of the fracture zone, it would be natural to turn to the reporting of the condition of the Dye 3 core in the document entitled Ice Core Samples from Greenland and Antarctica and issued in 1983 by the Ice Core Facility and Information Exchange of the Department of Geological Sciences of the State University of New York at Buffalo. (The Byrd, Crete, Milcent, Dye 3, Camp Century, and other ice cores are being preserved under the auspices of the University, but are stored across town in a commercial facility named Freezer Queen.) Ice Core Samples uses diagrams to indicate what parts of ...
915. Letters To The Edttor [Journals] [Aeon]
... two articles by Dave Talbott and Robert Grubaugh in AEON, vol. III, no. 3, concerning the arguments for Jupiter, Saturn, Venus, and Mars being in a polar position relative to the Earth. I found the two articles to be interesting but totally unbelievable for several fundamental scientific reasons, some of which are based on geological studies which I am familiar with. Let me list some of the premises and then outline some problems. Premises: Four basic hypotheses are (1 ) that all five planets are in synchronous orbit around the sun, (2 ) that they are aligned in such a position that Jupiter, Saturn, Venus, and Mars are fixed ...
916. Revelation and Catastrophe during the Christian Era: a Basis for Historical Interpolation and Future Extrapolation. [Journals] [SIS Review]
... be associated with the ornamental apocalyptics of any ancestral sage. Celestial Chaos From about the middle of the nineteenth century, the authority of the established Church gave way in official eyes to the authority of empirical Science. Thus, when the providential view of the universe could no longer be sustained by a purely theological argument, the uniformitarian view of geological and biological evolution (as introduced by Lyell and Darwin respectively) gained in ascendancy and the idea of cosmic catastrophes fell into scientific disrepute. Initially there was an undercurrent of political correctness' associated with the uniformitarian view as Science established its power (chiefly in the hands of Huxley and his acolytes) and the divine component of natural philosophy ...
917. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... , [Mauzen & Co, Tokyo, 1953]) gave formulae for the rate of decay of NRM in magnetite and other rocks showing NRM, from which one finds that NRM in the most coercive rocks would decay to below the level of observation in only few hundred thousand years at the most. Secondly, NRM itself shows that the geological time scale is quite wrong for the reason that NRM is observed not only in quaternary rocks, but even in Palaeozoic rocks - hundreds of times older, based on the geological time scale. Thirdly, as shown in chapter XIV of Prehistory and Earth Models, the orientations of NRM are in good agreement with the ice cap model of ...
918. Untitled [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... Mr. Cardona's argument, citing Hershel Shanks of Biblical Archaeology Review, that the south end of the Dead Sea could not have contained cities at any time from 3000 B.C . onwards is also tendentious, dishonest and misleading. Mr. Cardona, of course, neglects to note that Mr. Shanks is a conventional uniformitarian in his geological assumptions, and therefore follows the conventional geological view that no major upheaval could have transformed the Dead Sea region of the Jordan Rift Valley in recent geological times. Apply a Velikovskian context, such as Mr. Cardona is only too happy to follow when it suits him for his Saturn theories, and the assumptions which underlie Mr. Shanks ...
919. Minerals, Metals, Glazing and Man, by John Dayton, Reviewed by Geoffrey Gammon [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... chronology of the Aegean and Near East in the Bronze Age. This disturbing development obliged him to widen the scope of his inquiry to embrace the chronology as well as the invention and spread of metallurgy and the technology of glazing. In his book Minerals, Metals, Glazing and Man,2Dayton states his considered view that "the technical and geological evidence was in direct contradiction to archaeological theories, some of which had been accepted blindly and uncritically for over a hundred years." In essence, this is not only a manual of the technology of glazing but also an attempt to resolve the apparent contradictions posed by these anachronistic artifacts by challenging accepted views on the chronology of the Bronze ...
920. Conclusion (Carl Sagan & Immanuel Velikovsky) [Books]
... family. The planet is cold, yet its gases are in motion. It appears probable to me that it sends out radio noises as do the sun and the stars. I suggest that this be investigated. ' "The lecture was a discussion of my theory of 1950 in light of the new discoveries in the fields of astronomy, geology and archaeology'; I presented a considerable collection of recent findings that support the theory given in Worlds in Collision. It was natural to offer, at the end of that register, some new tests. And this I did by asserting that Jupiter sends out radio noises. The radio noises coming from the sun were explained as the ...
