... North Miami, FL Editorial Postscript: While the "Kondratieff cycle" is a fascinating subject it has only been observed during the last 180 years; thus its 50 year period may only be coincidental with respect to Velikovsky's theories. Jay W. Forrester of M.I .T . has shown that the cycle "can arise from the physical structure connecting consumer goods sectors and the capital sectors. A sufficient cause for a fifty-year fluctuation lies in the movement of people between sectors, the long time to change production capacity of capital sectors, the way capital sectors provide their own input capital as a factor of production, the need to develop excess capacity to catch up on deferred ...
532. Leonardo da Vinci: Rocks, Fossils, and Time [Journals] [Kronos]
... , and remains an archetype of individuality. His overwhelming accomplishments still rank him a giant among wholistic inquirers. Leonardo da Vinci was a man of thought and action. His comprehensive work was nature-oriented, but lacked proper systematisation. His interests encompassed a vast number of areas: mathematics (geometry), astronomy, cosmology, the natural elements, physics (magnetism, heat, hydraulics, acoustics, statics, dynamics, aerodynamics, optics, light, and colour), machines and weaponry, civil and military engineering, architecture, chemistry, geology, mineralogy, geography, map-making, botany and zoology, agriculture, internal and external anatomy, medicine, psychology, palmistry, drawing, ...
533. CANEPA: BOOK REVIEW [Journals] [Aeon]
... devastating. Unlike the others, Weisman found the volume tedious and boring. He claims that the reader has to struggle through the rambling text and could not decide for whom the book is intended. The uninitiated, he believes, will easily get lost. He especially zeroes in on giant comets, galactic periodicities, interstellar capture, and new physics (" variable gravity") as some of the authors' "highly speculative and controversial ideas." Galactic periodicities and interstellar capture are viable possibilities. I, personally, did not come across a reference to "variable gravity." What the authors do state on page 259 is: The effects of the galactic tide, as ...
534. Friday Evening Discussion [Journals] [SIS Review]
... overview of Alfvén's cosmology.) Wal read Worlds In Collision in the 1950s through my interest in astronomy. He was excited by the explanatory power of Velikovsky's work but at the same time felt his teachers couldn't all be so wrong. When he went to university he read it again and it served him well there. He was the only physics undergraduate who haunted the anthropology shelves and told classmates funny stories from them. The stories sprang to life when viewed from Velikovsky's viewpoint, yet they were never referenced in his book. Wal felt there was a case to answer but when he asked lecturers questions that impinged on what Velikovsky had said, he got either an irrelevant answer, ...

537. Why Pensee? [Journals] [Pensee]
... the bitter reply: "You're treating me the same way they treated Velikovsky." It is easy to stereotype such persons and to dismiss unthinking their peculiar vision of the truth. The press of editorial duties often requires such dismissal, and no less an authority than Polanyi congratulates it: "Journals are bombarded with contributions offering fundamental discoveries in physics, chemistry, biology or medicine, most of which are nonsensical. Science cannot survive unless it can keep out such contributions and safeguard the basic soundness of its publications. This may lead to the neglect or even suppression of valuable contributions, but I think this risk is unavoidable." (Minerva, [Summer, 1967], ...
538. "Proofs" of the Stability of the Solar System [Journals] [Kronos]
... /n ) decreases to zero as n increases to infinity, the approximating sums S1,n = 1+ ½++ ¼+ .. .+ 1/n also increase to infinity. Hence we must write S1 =+ ¥ In such a case we call the series divergent. A divergent series is useless for computing a physically meaningful answer. Elsewhere,* we noted that for planetary configurations involving small eccentricities and inclinations Simon Newcomb had in 1874 proved the existence of formal (possibly divergent), infiniteseries, exact, almost-periodic solutions of Newton's equations of gravitational motion for the osculating elements of the planetary orbits. But the work of Poincaré and Arnol'd already discussed shows ...

540. Canopy Skies of Ancient Man by Isaac Vail [Books]
... world replies not and humanity is left in the dark. But light beams all over the problem from the shining canopy. In the polar opening stood the all commanding altar, the spirits who guarded it were fire and water gods and the Great God of cosmic Truth, the true heaven and the true sun, eternal features and therefore the physical reflection of Eternity. So that back of the physical altar and its mortal guardians, or canopy spirits, loomed up into visibility the substance of Truth and Immortality, The canopy scene was an all moving one. Everything was in constant motion and there had to be a mover or urger behind the scene; hence the conception of the ...
