... ) Home | Issue Contents REVIEWS Thomas Young: Forgotten Genius by Daniel L. Kline (Vidan Press, 933 Avondale Avenue, Cincinnati, OH 45229, USA, $10 95 plus $2 00 p&p ) Thomas Young lived in England from 1773 to 1829 and his name crops up in various areas of science - interference of light produces Young's Fringes' and structural engineers use Young's Modulus' to calculate the deflexion of beams but few probably know much about the man behind the name, or are aware of the vast breadth and depth of his contribution to human knowledge. Daniel Kline has written for SIS in the past and he stumbled across Young's work when, on ...
462. Thoth Vol III, No. 13: Oct 15, 1999 [Journals] [Thoth]
... words for star are cognate, starting (! ) with the Sanskrit star' (yes!). It is clear that these words are also cognate with many of the names (Ishtar, Astarte, Asherah, Ashteroth) of the goddess identified with the planet Venus. The radiant Venus may have been at one time the only star-shaped light visible in the sky, and the star-words may be derived from the proper name rather than vice versa. A most extraordinary thing however, is that the word disaster' said to derive, via French from the _Italian_ disastro derived in turn from the Latin astrum', a star OR planet. But dis- is a _ ...
463. The Legends of the Jews: Volume III [Books]
... asked Moses. Aaron: "The altar and the table upon which is the shewbread hath He given into my charge." Moses: "It may be that He will now demand back from thee all that He hath given into thy keeping." Aaron: "What, pray?" Moses: "Hath He not entrusted a light to thee?" Aaron: "Not one light only but all seven of the candlestick that now burn in the sanctuary." Moses had, of course, intended to call Aaron's attention to the soul, "the light of the Lord," which God had given into his keeping and which He now demanded back. As ...
464. Stars, Galaxies and Electro-Gravitic Theory [Journals] [Aeon]
... exhibit perihelion advances. Because of the large masses and electromagnetic fields of stars anomalous precessional motions like those of Mercury and Icarus should be most pronounced. This is exactly the case with the binary system known as D I Herculis. This binary is an eclipsing system in which each companion periodically moves in front of its companion to block its companion's light as observed from the earth. Such systems are considered the best systems from which to obtain the orbital parameters of the stars. For over 84 years and 3000 orbits, very precise data on this system has been obtained. What the data shows is that the combined effects of classical Newtonian and relativistic forces can account for only one-seventh of ...
465. Heretics, Dogmatists and Science's Reception of New Ideas (Part 2) [Journals] [Kronos]
... assumed that mankind's myths, symbols and other purported forms of mimesis of an original might not be sheer creations of man's imagination reworked and finally recorded by the generations, but experiences overlaid first by authentic images of their originals, then by images of images. He assumed that by stripping away the overlay, the primary image could be brought to light, and a strong curiosity led him to do this regarding the Hebrew scriptural image of the sun and moon standing still. For Shapley this was no astronomical original, but utter human fantasy, and anyone who took it for such an original must be either a fool or a knave. Velikovsky, no fool, no knave, but ...
466. Velikovsky and the Heat of Venus [Journals] [Kronos]
... dioxide. The large abundance of carbon dioxide, plus the smaller quantities of water vapor which have been detected on Venus, are adequate to heat the surface to the observed temperature via the greenhouse effect." Sagan went on: "The Venera 8 descent module, the first spacecraft to land on the illuminated hemisphere of Venus, found it light at the surface, and the Soviet experimenters concluded that the amount of light reaching the surface and the atmospheric constitution were together adequate to drive the required radiative-convective greenhouse. Velikovsky is certainly mistaken when he says light does not penetrate the cloud cover' and is probably mistaken when he says greenhouse effect could not explain so high a temperature' ...
467. Mons Veneris [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon IV:5 (Nov 1996) Home | Issue Contents Mons Veneris Ev Cochrane During the course of the past several decades, a wealth of evidence has come to light supporting Velikovsky's thesis that the planets have only recently settled into their current orbits. To date, the testimony of the ancients themselves has provided the most telling evidence. Ancient rock art, archaeoastronomical traditions surrounding the respective planets, and mythical traditions associated with the various planetary deities, each offer dramatic proof of this thesis. Critics, however, continue to object that claims as extraordinary as those of Velikovsky and the Saturnists require extraordinary evidence to be believed. With this catch phrase they dismiss at ...
468. The Catastrophic Substructure of Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra (Part I) [Journals] [Kronos]
... University of Lethbridge, May 9-11, 1974.] Introduction To encounter the work of Immanuel Velikovsky is to come up against a universal watershed. Once you cross over, you cannot look at anything as you did before. Every human activity, from war to government to science to religion to art, is seen in a new, revolutionary light. In this paper, I want to look at William Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra from the Velikovskian optic. I will call the reader's attention to the many astonishing Velikovskian overtones in and beneath the play, and then use these to draw some tentative conclusions upon narrative art and the nature of man. This paper is not presented as a ...
469. The Identification of the Biblical "Queen of Sheba" with Hatshepsut, "Queen of Egypt and Ethiopia"" [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. I No. 3 (Fall 1975) Home | Issue Contents The Identification of the Biblical "Queen of Sheba" with Hatshepsut, "Queen of Egypt and Ethiopia"- as proclaimed by Immanuel Velikovsky- In the Light of New Archaeological Discoveries Eva Danelius Preface Over twenty years have passed since Immanuel Velikovsky published his most provocative book, Ages in Chaos I, in which he suggested that the accepted reconstruction of Egyptian history seemed to be based on a wrong conception of chronology and that this chronology should be revised, (1 ) Velikovsky not only challenged the so-called "Sothic" theory- others had done this before him- but suggested a substitute ...
... which the temples in both Upper and Lower Egypt were probably oriented, and further, the astronomical requirements which they were intended to fulfil, we are in a position to consider several questions of great interest in relation to the earliest observations of the sun and stars. One of the first among these questions is whether the complete inquiry throws any light upon the suggestion made on page 85, that in different temples we seem to be dealing with at least two different kinds of astronomical thought and methods; as if, indeed, we were in presence of ideas so differently based that the assumption of different races of men, rather than different astronomical and religious ideas, is almost necessary ...
