... by a brief piece, "Back to the Drawing Board?" by SHANE MAGE, originally offered to the New York Times. Also in this issue: an enlarged and developed version of material by LEROY ELLENBERGER on science's reception of Velikovsky published variously by S.I .S .; and some brief notes by VELIKOVSKY suggesting experiments linking gravity and electromagnetism. In the first issue of Volume V, thanks to sterling editorial efforts on the part of JAN SAMMER and LEWIS GREENBERG we are offered, at last, a view of Saturnian events from VELIKOVSKY himself, in the form of a foretaste of his book, Saturn and the Flood. This is followed by an extended essay ...
332. Velikovsky: The Open Minded Approach [Journals] [SIS Review]
... , China, Polynesia, America, and Lapland. And so back to the calculations. In fact they're a paper tiger. Robert W. Bass, professor of physics and astronomy at Brigham Young University has concluded that even within an unrevised celestial mechanics (that is, even before you take electromagnetics into account, but on Newton's good old gravity model alone) there is no fundamental reason... that forbids' a Velikovskian shuffling of the orbits of Venus, Mars, and Earth within Biblical times. ' (4 ) Mathematician R. A. Lyttleton went even further. He calculated that given the speed and angular rotation of Jupiter, the energies required for the expulsion ...
333. Velikovsky: The Score of Success [Journals] [SIS Review]
... solar explosion, or perhaps in a collision of planets." (4 ) Velikovsky's model, of course, was not recognised. Further, UCLA astronomers P. Goldreich and S. J. Peale discovered in 1966 that whenever Venus passes between Earth and Sun it always turns the same face to the Earth. This resonance' suggests a gravity lock' from some past close contact between the two planets. (5 ) Thus Venus. Velikovsky's 1946 copyrighted view of the possible abundant presence of argon and neon in the atmosphere of Mars, then considered far-fetched, is now incorporated in the programme of the 1976 Viking probes. The ice-caps of Mars DO have a carbon base, ...
334. Velikovsky And The Media [Journals] [Pensee]
... then why do the evolutionists refuse to acknowledge the contradictions and disagreements both in and outside of their own ranks." On the correctness of Velikovsky's views, McCurdy asks: "Do we really know? We sometimes like to pretend that we've just about figured it all out. Yet we still cannot fully and adequately explain such fundamental phenomena as gravity, magnetism, light, even electricity. All we have really done is work out certain rules that work in a perhaps limited and local way." In what appears to be a follow-up editorial in a succeeding issue, the editor of Chemical and Engineering News queries, "Is there an Integrator in the House?" "Some ...

336. Problems of Continental Drift [Journals] [SIS Review]
... outstanding area of doubt still concerns the mechanism (or mechanisms) behind the postulated plate movements. Recent work by a number of physicists has suggested a new speculative model which attempts to account for anomalies in the present scheme by explaining the separation and drift of the continents in terms of an expansion of the earth, perhaps involving a change in gravity. (See Peter Smith: "Journey to the Edges of the Earth", The Guardian, 12th February 1981.) And while most geologists and geophysicists in the western world are now happy to accept continental drift as a working hypothesis, the theory has as yet made little headway in the USSR, where it encountered strong opposition ...
337. Catastrophism and Uniformitarianism [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... a potentially unstable situation slowly develops. This would be the gradual accumulation of unconsolidated materials that would offer little resistance to a subsequent sudden onrush or downpour resulting from extreme atmospheric disturbances. In Louisiana the 1957 storm surge elevated and transported entire portions of mudflats, including one segment 2 km long, part-way across the adjoining marsh. Alternatively, where gravity is directly involved, a long period of weathering finally brings a potentially unstable geological structure to the brink of catastrophic disequilibrium. or snow accumulates to form avalanches in spring melts, or rivers and lakes may inch towards levels of abrupt overspill, The overflow of Pleistocene Lake Bonneville is a classic example, reconstructed first by G. K. ...

... 3 , 11). a) In the apparent absence of plate tectonics, volcanism would be a likely way for heat from radioactive decay to reach the surface. b) The shapes and overall sizes of the suspected areas suggest shield volcanoes, probably supported by expanding hot spots in the mantle. c) The suspected areas coincide with strong gravity anomalies consistent with the existence of up-welling hot spots. d) The radar brightness of the areas suggests that fresh, rough lava flows cover them. e) The lightning observed on Venus(2 ) clusters over two of the suspected areas which Fred Scarf of TRW, Inc. suspects is produced, not in the sparse clouds over ...

340. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Review]
... it is suggested that an as-yet undiscovered 5th force may be needed to explain it. We also have another mysterious repulsive force called dark energy which was needed to explain the apparent observation that the Universe is undergoing accelerating expansion. In 1917 Einstein introduced the cosmological constant, which was basically such a repulsive force, to counteract the attractive force of gravity because he believed the Universe was static. After it was decided that the Universe was in fact expanding he regretted this modification to his equations, calling it his greatest mistake, but now it seems cosmologists want it back again.
