... From: Kronos Vol. II No. 1 (August 1976) Home | Issue Contents The Ultimate Catastrophe?H. C. Dudley Before the first detonation of an atomic bomb (1945), the probability of igniting the atmosphere and inducing a vast nuclear accident was examined by the leaders of the Manhattan Project. The findings were kept shrouded in top secret governmental files until 1973. A peek at these findings resulted from an interview with one of the directors of the Project in 1959. This was reported by the eminent writer Pearl Buck, generating but little public notice at that time. Nevertheless, the current widespread interest in all aspects of nuclear safety, resulting from ...

393. Osarsiph [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. IX No. 2 (Winter 1984) Home | Issue Contents Osarsiph Jan N. Sammer The fragments of Manetho's Aegyptica that we possess mostly contain schematic king-lists preserved by chronographers - Eusebius, Hieronymus, Africanus. Only Josephus preserves a few passages from the narrative part of the work, among them the infamous story of Osarsiph. This somewhat confusing tale is not very promising material for a historical study; yet so threadbare are our primary literary sources for Egyptian history that the effort appears justified. To briefly summarize Manetho's tale, a certain king named Amenophis ordered the expulsion of all lepers and unclean persons from Egypt. They settled on the site of the ...
394. "In Search of Ancient Astronomies": A Review [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. VI No. 2 (Winter 1981) Home | Issue Contents "In Search of Ancient Astronomies": A Review Thomas Mccreery Thomas McCreery lectures in physics at Cardonald College Glasgow. The past two decades have witnessed an ever increasing interest in archaeoastronomy, resulting in the inevitable boom in subject literature. As a rule, these publications are distinguished more for their excessive partiality and cavalier approach to data appraisal in favour of the ideas being advanced than for their critical evaluation of these hypotheses. What promised to be an exception to this trend, In Search of Ancient Astronomies, was warmly recommended by the Bulletin of the Center for Archaeoastronomy [henceforth Archaeoastronomy ( ...
... nor any of the discussion; it did, however, feature another critical article by David Morrison, (31) who did not appear on the original AAAS panel, and a sarcastic foreword by Isaac Asimov, who with something over 200 books to his credit undoubtedly ranks as the most widely-read of Velikovsky's many detractors. The Cornell book provoked Kronos to devote two issues (also distributed in book form as Scientists Confront Scientists Who Confront Velikovsky and Velikovsky and Establishment Science) to a refutation of the various points raised and also led to de Grazia publishing an enlarged edition of The Velikovsky Affair. Ransom had also published an account of the symposium as part of his book, The Age ...

397. The Earliest Arrival of Celts in the British Isles [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. X No. 3 (Summer 1985) Home | Issue Contents The Earliest Arrival of Celts in the British Isles Roger W. Wescott In reading Alban Wall's interesting article "An Ancient Celtic Water Cult: Its Significance in British Prehistory" (KRONOS X:1 , Fall 1984, pp. 58-61), I was surprised by his statement, on p. 60, that "the initial migration of Celtic peoples into Britain is generally considered to have taken place not much earlier than 500 B.C ." . My surprise was occasioned by the fact that, in both archaeologically and linguistically oriented courses since the 1960's, I have been telling ...
398. On Velikovsky And Darwin [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. VII No. 4 (Summer 1982) "Evolution, Extinction, and Catastrophism" Home | Issue Contents On Velikovsky And Darwin Lynn E. Rose The so-called "Darwinian Revolution" stands in sharp contrast to, and was of an entirely different character from, the Brunian Revolution of the sixteenth century. It is well known how Darwin sailed with the Beagle and patiently collected facts from the Galapagos Islands and elsewhere around the world. Many people take it for granted that these actual observations are the basis for his theory of gradual evolution by natural selection. Darwin did make many observations, but his theory was chosen in defiance of observational data, not ...
399. A Note on the Temperature of Venus [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. IV No. 2 (Winter 1978) "Scientists Confront Scientists Who Confront Velikovsky" Home | Issue Contents A Note on the Temperature of Venus C. J. Ransom The special issue of KRONOS - Velikovsky and Establishment Science - cites (p . 132) a calculation of mine relating to the temperature of Venus. This calculation should be put in context with the temperature debate, so that its result is neither misconstrued nor used as a real value. Astronomer W. C. Straka wrote in 1972 that if Venus were incandescent (say, 2000 K) only 3500 years ago, then it would now be much hotter than the measured temperature ...
400. The Weakness of the Venus Greenhouse Theory [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. IV No. 2 (Winter 1978) "Scientists Confront Scientists Who Confront Velikovsky" Home | Issue Contents The Weakness of the Venus Greenhouse Theory Immanuel Velikovsky Copyright (c ) 1967 & 1978 By Immanuel Velikovsky In the April 1967 issue of the Yale Scientific Magazine (pp. 18-19), Professors Albert W. Burgstahler and Ernest E. Angino of the University of Kansas offered some thoughtful criticism relevant to the thesis of Worlds in Collision. Among other things, the subject of the validity of the Venus "greenhouse effect" was discussed and the following quote from the book Intelligent Life in the Universe, by I. Shklovskii and C. Sagan ...
