... © 1979 by Ralph E. Juergens By now a full generation of highly trained specialists and theorists has devoted its time, its talents, and a substantial share of the world's public and private treasure to a search for the means to produce energy on Earth the way the Sun is said to do it - by fusing together the nuclei of light elements to form heavier ones, and in the process converting mass to energy. The inspiration for this extended effort rose from the ashes of a world war. As the pall of horror thrown up at Hiroshima and Nagasaki began to clear, atomic scientists looked up at the Sun and imagined it to brighten with promise: There shines the ...
502. Thoth Vol II, No. 4: February 28, 1998 [Journals] [Thoth]
... the implications of ancient planetary catastrophe.. Submissions welcome. Amy Acheson thoth@Whidbey.com- A HEARTY WELCOME TO AMY By David Talbott I would like to personally express my gratitude to Amy Acheson for taking on the editorial chores of THOTH. Over the past year, Amy's contributions to Kronia's electronic discussion group brought many important issues to light, and she has shown an excellent grasp of the "big picture" questions. As THOTH's circulation continues to grow, we will be adding new features to the newsletter, while developing a team of regular contributors. Since many new readers have signed on in recent months, I list below a few of the research-themes to be explored ...
503. Cheers and Hisses [Books] [de Grazia books]
... to send back the postage paid postcards to publishers who use them to advertise such books as Velikovsky's. Dr. Newell thought this was very vindictive' and uncalled-for. ' While Velikovsky might be wrong' he is entitled to dispassionate review and criticism. ' Dr. Newell said that he had already discussed this matter with some of the leading lights' at NASA including Arnold Frutkin, Director of International Programs. He requested that he be permitted to keep the copy he has and be provided with additional copies. I wouldn't be surprised if someone here makes a statement on Velikovsky in the near future.... But of course, there were no actions taken. Involve NASA ...

... he do such a thing? What then of Hoerbiger-Bellamy? Can one trust Oberg's statement that Velikovsky never mentions them in his writing? With respect to Hoerbiger and Bellamy Velikovsky writes in Earth in Upheaval, "Not so long ago an explanation of the mystery of Lake Titicaca and of the fortress Tiahuanacu on its shore was put forward in the light of Hoerbiger's theory. A moon circled very close to the Earth, pulling the waters of the oceans toward the equator; by its gravitational pull, the moon held, day and night, the water of the ocean at the altitude of Tiahuanacu: The level of the ocean must have been at least 13,000 feet higher. ...
506. Measurements of the Electromagnetic Properties of "Space" [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... Properties of "Space" (1 ) George R. Talbott and Charles Ginenthal PROPOSAL SUMMARY The electrical permittivity and magnetic permeability of "free space" are handbook values used daily in electrical engineering. Once vacuum permittivity is measured, the associated permeability is fixed and the inverse of the square root of their product is the free space velocity of light. It is commonly assumed that permittivity and permeability in remote space are constant and equal to the laboratory handbook values. It is also commonly believed that both magnetic and electrical field intensities are negligible and unvarying as functions of spatial position, as long as the electromagnetic sensing apparatus is in remote space, far removed from any planetary or other ...
... the short piece by Velikovsky that Science had rejected the year before. He informed his journal's advisory board on March 8 of his intention to examine the question of "the canons which science uses to appraise work that is offered," noting that "both the normal and the peculiar features of the criticism of [Velikovsky's] work throw much light on the workings of the scientific establishment." To give the controversial endeavor as much authority and legitimacy as possible, he contacted his teacher Harold D. Lasswell and two other friends, Hadley Cantril and Luther Evans, to act as sponsors; at Velikovsky's suggestion he also recruited Harold Latham (who had retired from Macmillan), Kallen ...
508. The Nature and Origin of Comets and the Evolution of Celestial Bodies (Part I) [Journals] [Kronos]
... needed which is common to all galaxies. This is further complicated by the need for a symmetric interaction to explain fine detail such as star densities - irregularities in the spiral arm shape and the anti-symmetric warping of the galactic disk - all of which occur with great symmetry even though the arm pairs are separated by distances of hundreds of thousands of light years . II. COMETS AND THE DISCHARGE OF THE SOLAR CAPACITOR IIa) Galactic Formation, Saturn, and the Charging Processes Used by Comets Two papers have preceded this one and must be read with their references to interpret the present paper properly.(1 ,2 ) A new concept of galactic evolution has been proposed in one paper ...
509. Thoth Vol II, No. 1: January 15, 1998 [Journals] [Thoth]
... warrior-chief Osecola, leader of the Seminole tribe in Florida, "saw an appearance of Halley's Comet as an omen, and called on his people to launch a war against white settlers. The Seminoles overwhelmed the army garrison at Fort King and killed every last soldier. Osecola personally scalped the fort's commander, General Wiley Thompson." In the light of the general tradition, the retrospective accounts of Mesoamerican chroniclers, remembering that a comet preceded the Spanish invasion, take on greater meaning for us. The motif is strikingly familiar in an Aztec poem- I foresaw, being a Mexican, that our rule began to be destroyed, I went forth weeping that it was to bow down and ...
510. Arctic Tundra Mammoth Steppe Or Velikovskian Poleshift? [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... mammoth steppe." The older theory holds that these fauna lived on tundra and were well adapted to it. Velikovsky's poleshift concept suggests the Ice Age ended with a poleshift which moved the declination of the pole of rotation more perpendicularly to the plane of its orbit. Therefore, the high latitudes in the polar or arctic regions would receive greater light and warmth from solar insulation during the year and the vegetational environment would be that of the temperate zone. That is the issue that will be taken up in this chapter. Was the vegetation of the arctic that of a mosaic mammoth steppe, or an arctic tundra, or that of a much snore temperate climate caused by a poleshift ...
