... . was indeed an excellent model for the Bethlehem star of 11 B.C .[ 4 ] The History of Halley's Comet, Part II By 1700 the scientific fruits of the Reformation began to ripen. Edmund Halley made a study of medieval comets and even assisted Isaac Newton financially in publishing the famous Principia, offering a mathematical understanding of gravity. At this time some felt that Earth's orbits were circles. Others supposed that Earth orbits were ellipses; Newton and Halley were among the latter. They "knew" that planetary orbits were ellipses, satellite orbits (such as the Moon's) were ellipses, and strongly suspected that comet orbits were also ellipses- the most "elliptical ...
392. Origin And Evolution Of Solar Systems [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... belt near, say, Jupiter, Van Flandern explains, "Now consider the case of an asteroid orbiting the Sun in or near Jupiter's orbit. Such asteroids actually exist: they are called `Trojan Asteroids. ' Why aren't they eventually swept up by Jupiter? "Let us assume that the asteroid is approaching Jupiter from behind. Jupiter's gravity begins pulling on the asteroid, which accelerates it toward Jupiter. This is just exactly analogous to a rocket firing to increase its velocity toward a space station ahead, as we have already discussed. The result of Jupiter's pull is that the asteroid must drop back in its orbit, away from Jupiter because the asteroid is moved to an ...
393. A LEAD TO FOLLOW [Journals] [Pensee]
... was able to suggest an energy exchange mechanism (electromagnetic or otherwise) capable of accounting quantitatively for the orbital changes proposed in Worlds in Collision. How welcome, then, were two papers in IVR VIII by Robert W. Bass, a specialist in celestial mechanics, stating categorically that- contrary to widely-held beliefs- a Newtonian solar system (in which gravity plays the major, if not the only part in planetary motions) is not necessarily stable. The "proofs" of stability by Laplace and others are shown to be based on unwarranted assumptions and non-rigorous mathematics, and Bass claims that the present apparently stable situation does not preclude "wild motions" and exchanging of orbits in the past ...
394. Solaria Binaria in Relation to Chaos and Creation [Books] [de Grazia books]
... Creation. Finally, in Chaos and Creation, after the explosive extraction of the Moon's material from the Earth, its phases inciting the early humans to a period of lunar worship (circa 11 500 to 8 000 years ago). To conclude that the Moon immediately orbited about the nearby Earth (its motion being somewhat disturbed by the Sun's gravity as it is today) is necessary when the driving force for the orbit arises mechanically or by some mechanicalelectrical mix. But in the purely electrical field that we employ here, the Moon can remain suspended in the Earth's sky as we propose. The question of why humans worshipped the early Moon does not depend upon the Moon's motion in ...
395. Consequences of the Capture (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... number of huge floes. The great tidal influence caused the edges of the floes to become detrited, and in addition it squeezed up great quantities of water. Exposed to the cold of space, the waters began to boil violently. The satellite was densely wrapped into a cloud of ice- steam, which, owing to the weak lunar surface gravity, was carried away by the pressure of the Sun's light, giving a comet-like appearance to the young Moon. As soon as enough heat had been withdrawn from the water, the cracks froze over. If it had not been for the rotation, and for the fact that the Moon moved in a much more eccentric orbit in its ...
396. Puzzles and Paradigms [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... re-organize the clutter of ad-hoc explanations in the Establishment Store onto shelves of predictable phenomena. It replaces an empty, lifeless universe with a historical, lightning-filled one. There are things to do: The physics and astronomy of isolated, static particles need to be exchanged for a science of interconnected bodies adapting to a changing, energy-driven environment. (Gravity needs to be replaced.) A new mathematics will be needed to describe the new phenomena. The facts of geology need to be reassembled as ruins instead of as a record. New procedures, equipment, and experiments need to be invented. New applications-new toys-need to be engineered. The story of the past-not only mythology, but history ...

398. The Lately Tortured Earth [Books] [de Grazia books]
... just plain errors, inadvertent omissions and foolhardiness, which I hope will be promptly discovered and publicized. Isaac Newton, says a careful student of his work, fudged the members of one equation to improve its numbers for his proposition on the precession of the equinoxes; he manipulated averages in using the Moon's distance from the Earth to better correlate gravity with the Moon's motions; and "his use of the crassitude' of the air particles to raise the calculated velocity [of sound] by more than 10 percent was nothing short of deliberate fraud."[1 ] He then devoted some years to proving Biblical chronology correct, allowing catastrophes to rule the natural history of the universe ...
399. The After-Effects of Newton's Comet of 1680 AD [Journals] [SIS Review]
... country for most of the plague period, returning in April 1667. It was while in the country that he developed many of his mathematical theories, including the studies on infinite series, calculus and his theory of light and colour, and it was there that he is said to have watched the apple fall and got the first clue about gravity. A question I have often asked is, how many of these studies were motivated by his desire to understand the observations he had made of the 1664 comet? But the fact that he had undertaken them meant that he was in a far better position to understand the implications when another comet appeared in 1680. Newton was appointed Lucasian ...
400. Pot Pourri [Journals] [SIS Review]
... – she would not have been a solid body. Venus is too hot for any bug' to survive there. Far from producing manna, Venus is composed of carbon dioxide and sulphuric acid, whose effect [on Earth] would hardly be conducive to life'. For the air of Venus to flow onto Earth, their nearly equal gravities mean that Venus would have had to be closer than 1000 km from the surface of the Earth. That close a pass would have sterilized the surface of the Earth – Velikovsky underestimates the effect by a factor of millions'. Such a pass would have drastically changed the Moon's orbit, making it tremendously elliptical'. The Hebrew calendar ...
