... . In general, science can be approached in one of two ways: (1 ) reductionism (2 ) holism. Reductionism is the doctrine that more complex phenomena can be reduced to less complex ones; for example, in biology, it is the belief that all the phenomena of life can ultimately be understood in terms of chemistry and physics. Holism is the doctrine that the whole is more than the sum of its parts. A cell, for example, divides randomly, this indeterminism occurring at all levels of nature. In practice, it is restricted by the whole and works probabilistically. Morphogenesis is the coming into being of form. Epigenetic suggests that more form comes ...
452. Notes on this issue of Pensee IVR VIII [Journals] [Pensee]
... From: Pensée Vol. 4 No 3: (Summer 1974) "Immanuel Velikovsky Reconsidered VIII" Home | Issue Contents Notes on this issue:The squiggles on the left may not say a whole lot to many of our readers, but they send shivers of delight up the spine of Robert W. Bass. A professor of physics and astronomy at Brigham Young University, Bass' specialty is celestial mechanics, and his contention here (p . 8) is that the orbital wanderings of Worlds in Collision are entirely plausible mechanically- and have long been recognized as plausible by leading authorities in the field. If Bass is correct, then the general public- whose innocence so many ...
453. Venus and Mars [Books] [de Grazia books]
... into the inner Solar System, where all massive fragments had gone hitherto. Unlike Uranus Minor, Neptune, and possibly Pluto, Venus was of low electrical density and fell victim to encounters with Earth, then Mars, and remained within the inner circle of planets. Both the Earth and Mars took electrical charge from Venus, not without extensive physical "damage" to themselves; they both moved away from the Sun after their encounters with Venus (Ransom and Hoffee, Table 1). Venus was not rich enough in electrons to be coveted by the Sun. By the legendary and historical evidence, it took hundreds of years to achieve a "safe" orbit from where it ...
454. The Mind Exploration Corporation [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... the world. Students will examine the evidence for global upheaval within human history, a subject rarely considered by mainstream science. The field of evidence will range from ancient symbolic, mythical and ritual commemorations of catastrophe, to the most recent space age revelations of past planetary violence. The Electric Universe - Exploring the surprising role electricity plays in the physical world. Students will examine evidence that electricity helped shape the evolution of the solar system and galaxy, and that the surfaces of planets and moons were sculpted in part by interplanetary lightning bolts, when planets moved on unstable courses only a few thousand years ago. Pioneering New Arts of Human Healing - An overview of the most deeply holistic ...

... rebuttals to criticisms leveled against it and has published an annotated volume, the Velikovsky Bibliography. She lives in San Francisco and is currently planning to publish Gordon Atwater's memoir of the events that led to his dismissal as Curator of the Hayden Planetarium and Chairman of the Department of Astronomy of the American Museum of Natural History. Charles Ginenthal taught the physically handicapped in New York City, is the author of Carl Sagan and Immanuel Velikovsky, a critique, has contributed articles to AEON and is preparing a book, with several other authors, The Continuing Velikovsky Affair: The Second Generation, to be published next year as a special double issue of The Velikovskian.

... and New Kingdoms in Egypt. The period of the Hyksos in Egypt, between the Middle and the New Kingdoms, coincides with the last-the third subdivision of Middle Minoan. All the great periods in Minoan Crete terminated in natural catastrophes. The monumental work of Sir Arthur Evans, The Palace of Minos at Knossos, furnishes abundant evidence of the physical nature of the destructive agent that brought to a close the ages of Minoan culture, one after the other. He speaks of a "great catastrophe" that took place toward the close of Middle Minoan II.1 "A great destruction befell Knossos on the northern shore of the island and Phaestos on its southern shore.2 The ...
457. Punctuated Darwinism? [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... evidence against the established views is now considerable, it would certainly help to tip the sales if either side could present just one piece of positive evidence. Population genetics and conservation breeding programmes may, unknowingly, provide that evidence. It is accepted that inbreeding inevitably leads to a decline in the fertility and viability of species. Many plants have physical structures to ensure crossbreeding, and animal behaviour patterns often seem directed towards the same ends. A certain degree of variability is necessary in order to enable a species to survive epidemics and adverse conditions, and this variability can only be maintained within a large population. A case in point in the wild is that of the Cheetah [1 ...
458. Northwest Indian Myths of Catastrophe [Articles]
... question in my own mind. These ideas hint at an entirely different universe but one which seems to find great compatibility with Alfred de Grazia's quantavolution concepts. Since there is no particular order in which these ideas need to be discussed, I will simply mention them as they occur to me. First. Many tribes speak of a manifestation of physical forms with the primary importance of these forms being in the content of knowledge they represent. Thus some early accounts say that men and animals could exchange shapes, in doing so they could spend time with each other and spoke the same basic language. Some holy people can still change into animal shapes; others report that they have experienced ...
459. On Binary Star Systems [Books] [de Grazia books]
... resolved by telescope into two separate stars. In about twelve percent of these visual binaries the orbital motion can be measured, but only a few satisfactory orbital analyses have been completed [126]. Where the orbit of the companion relative to the primary star can be measured, and where the distance to the principals can be measured, the physical separation of the pair is known. If the period of revolution of the binary is known, then, temporarily accepting Kepler's Harmonic Law, which is based upon Universal Gravitation as the only force binding the principals, the total mass of the binary system can be calculated (Chapter Three). This calculation based upon Kepler's Harmonic Law is ...
