... traces its descent into the remote past. Figure 25f is taken directly from an Assyrian plaque [4 ]. It illustrates the full form, containing several of the elements "a " to "e ", that represents a real-life imitation of Saturn, the god of the second and dominating sun in the period following the emplacement of the Moon and creation of the oceans. Two half-human, half-bullish figures uphold the Saturn image. The drawing 25g shows an ancient Mayan figure from Uxmal, Yucatan, Mexico, and is called a "solar symbol" which it is, but a symbol of the second sun Saturn [5 ]. Figure "h " is the full composite ...
482. The Stability of the Solar System: An Historical Perspective [Journals] [SIS Review]
... course you subsequently checked up that the discovery was correct. If it was, you gave the key to the anagram, but if you found that it was wrong you forgot to give the key. In this way you could have your cake and eat it. Among the discoveries that Galileo made was, of course, that of the moons of Jupiter - along with various others, such as the fact that Venus showed phases like the Moon - and he published these in the form of anagrams. Kepler, his friend, tried to decipher them, and managed to decipher one as: "Jupiter has a great red spot on it." This was a little premature ...
483. Greek Estimates of the Synodic Month [Journals] [Kronos]
... Hipparchus is breath-taking, since it differs by a second from the correct one, whereas he was off by about 7 minutes in calculating the length of the solar year. The precision achieved in calculating the duration of the orrect month is not difficult to explain. The basic problem was simple: it was a matter of counting how many new moons occur in a period of solar years. The observations could have been made simply by recording at each summer solstice how much sooner was the preceding new moon and how much later was the following new moon. In a few years one could arrive at a good datum for the length of lunar month. It is true that in marking ...
484. The Mesoamerican Record [Journals] [Pensee]
... ended with decapitation of the leader of one of the two teams, there may be a peculiar appropriateness in the practice of always sculpting the head alone without the body. This ritual ball game, as will be shown later, was itself a reenactment of the celestial ball-game, played at a time of world-destruction, in which the sun and moon defeated the lords of hell who were disturbed by the shaking of the earth which their ball practice had caused. Hence the element of human sacrifice in the reenactment is again to be explained by the traumatizing hold of the cataclysmic prototype. Another explanation has been given for the peculiarly shaped helmet to be found on many of these athletes; ...
485. On Comets, Comet-Like Luminous Apparitions and Meteors [Journals] [Kronos]
... , a dream is the subject of the text on a stele of the last Babylonian ruler, Nabonidus (555-539 B.C .) , which, due to its significance, is here presented verbatim [Col. VI] . It reads as follows: ". . . with regard to the conjunction of the Great Star and the Moon, I became apprehensive (but in a dream) a man (the hero Bel) stood (suddenly) beside me and said to me: There are no evil portents (involved) in the conjunction! ' In the same dream, Nebukadnezzar, my royal predecessor, and one attendant (appeared to me) standing on a ...

487. Comets -- the Cause of Historic and Prehistoric Catastrophes [Articles]
... It was an intellectual struggle, because even the Inquisition couldn't just chop somebody's head off without having a good reason for it. So they forced with everything in their book, to make Galileo retract, but Galileo was insistent, largely because he had the evidence of the telescope before him which no predecessor had had, he had seen the moons going round Jupiter, he could see the sense in the story and could put this in front of the detractors. As you know, this is a ferocious argument, and again, modern critics look back on this and see Galileo as a rather cantankerous old fellow, the suggestion has even been made that he might have caused the ...
488. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... ice deep beneath the surface. They say nothing about the missing atmosphere. Actually Mariner 4, in 1965, confirmed that Mars' surface pressure is less than one-hundredth that of Earth when only one-tenth less was expected, which means 90 per cent of the atmosphere is missing. Ralph E. Juergens, in a two-part paper "Of the Moon and Mars" (PENSEE, Fall 1974 and Winter 1974-75), theorised that billion volts cosmic electrical discharges between the Moon and Mars, in near collisions per Velikovsky's reconstruction of our planetary recent history, transferred atmospheric gases, and heavier material, from the relatively anode Mars to the cathode Moon, a process similar to arc-welding. The ...
489. Venus years - An explanatory note [Journals] [SIS Review]
... simultaneously. There are complications which slightly modify this idealised equation. Firstly, the modern convention is that conjunction occurs when two bodies have the same celestial longitude but perfect conjunction' requires them also to have the same declination (or ecliptic latitude), which is seldom the case in practice. In practice, eclipses of the sun by the moon are the only directly observable conjunctions of a planet with the sun. A total eclipse occurs when both have the same longitude and declination. A partial eclipse can occur if the moon's declination is marginally different from the sun's; the moon is also close enough to the earth for its apparent declination to vary slightly when viewed from different locations ...

... to the Spreading of the ocean basins and laying of the ocean bottoms, the carboniferous ( -300 my) with regard to coal and oil deposits, the Cambrian ( -500 my) insofar as Grand Canyon is included, and the Precambrian ( -600 to -2500+ my), when it comes to atmospheric changes, the coming of the Moon, the newness of gases, uranium flux and so on. In fact, you go about placing whatever you think appropriate whenever in time your theory requires that it must have happened. About the only law of time that you seem to obey is the principle of superposition. which is only a relative ordering of times and which you ...
