... became a little clearer to myself and others after reading Dr. Velikovsky's book Worlds in Collision. We were struck not only by the imagination and scope of his ideas, but more specifically were profoundly impressed by the way in which he had gathered evidence from' such a vast number of academic fields as disparate as mythology, psychology, and physics. It was out of respect for his approach to knowledge and a belief that the ideals which he expressed were ideals which this University would like to incorporate that we proposed Dr. Velikovsky- for an honourary doctorate in Arts and Science. We were aware at the time, and became more aware as time went on, that the ...
563. Worlds in Collision in Macmillan's Catalogues [Journals] [Kronos]
... 00. The full page ad in the February 25 Publishers' Weekly said "COMING APRIL" and "Probably $4 .50". 18. The evaluations, two of which were dated February 14, the third, February 13, were addressed to McCurdy. In addition to C. W. van der Merwe (professor of physics at New York University), who was named in The Velikovsky Affair, the other two scholars were Edward M. Thorndike (head of the Physics Dept. at Queens College) and Clarence S. Sherman (associate professor of chemistry at Cooper Union). While they had their criticisms, none recommended against publication. They were selected ...

... Center for Latin American Studies. He holds numerous scholastic awards and received an honorable mention from the National Science Foundation in March, 1983. He is interested in the role catastrophic processes play in formation of the geologic record and is currently involved in studies to ascertain the historicity of such events. James M McCanney (M .S ., Physics, Tulane University); Mr. McCanney taught university physics, mathematics, and computer science for six years, including two years as a lecturer at Cornell University (Ithaca, N.Y .) where the present paper was written. He is presently a Network Engineer in the computer/network modelling and design group of NCR Comten ...
565. Foreword to Recollections of a Fallen Sky [Books]
... process of unfolding as it should. The other group, the revolutionists, to which Velikovsky and his supporters belong, believe that the history of the World, and of the Universe, is best described in terms of a series of abrupt large-scale and intensive changes in nature and life with periods of slow evolution in between [6 ]. Physical evidence of such changes is found in Earth's geological strata and on the exposed surface of the planets. For the revolutionists the task is to re-interpret the evidence which has been described in the scientific and historical literature in terms of the evolutionary model, a project to which the evolutionists usually react with intense hostility. To rewrite the literature in ...
566. The Mechanism Of Evolution. Ch.15 Cataclysmic Evolution (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... the evolutionary process by chance variations brought about the revival of Lamarckism. In 1809, the year Darwin was born, Lamarck had published his Philosohie Zoologique, in which he offered a theory of evolution through the appearance of new traits and faculties in response to usage; usage in response to need; and need as the consequence of changes in physical surroundings. These new acquired traits, he assumed, were inheritable. Lamarck also taught uniformity, and thus he was an opponent of his contemporary, Cuvier, who taught catastrophism. Charles Darwin, generous to Alfred R. Wallace, whom he declared to be an independent discoverer of the theory of natural selection, never agreed, despite ...
567. Has Science Got it Wrong? – Remarks on the Arctic [Journals] [SIS Review]
... provides other anomalies. For instance, here and there within its fabric variable patterns of cross-stratification are discernible, although in the absence of turbulence effects – such as would be needed to account for the cross-bedding – the actual mechanism responsible for these patterns has so far eluded definition. Not withstanding the failure to satisfactorily explain such anomalous features, the physical production of the Drift' enmasse seemingly necessitated a relentless, fierce, and fast-acting agent, such as water or wind, or a combination of both of these operating in concert over an immense geographical front. The striking compositional consistency of the Drift' almost everywhere it can be traced, strongly supports this conclusion. Yet, how precisely ...
568. Velikovsky And Planetary Catastrophe [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... with the likes of Claude Schaeffer, one of the deans of modern archaeology; the eminent geologist, Harry Hess of Princeton University; Horace Kallen, founder of the respected New School for Social Research in New York; the esteemed Robert Pfeiffer of Harvard University; the pioneering psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud; and of course Albert Einstein, who edited the physics and mathematics sections of Velikovsky's publication Scriptas Universitatis. But was Velikovsky himself a physicist or astronomer? No. His training was in law, economics, history and medicine. Did he pretend to be a physicist or astronomer? No. But intensive historical research did lead him to believe that physicists and astronomers have failed to understand the history ...

570. Saturn: In Myth and Religion [Journals] [Kronos]
... the Golden Age, when he actually ruled alone.(3 ) Nor was his reign a transient event, for he seems to have existed in Earth's sky for thousands of years. As I outlined several years ago,(4 ) and as David Talbott has now shown,(5 ) the primeval Saturn presented a multifarious appearance. Physically and visually, the luminary was composed of various components - orb, rings, axis - which changed cyclically throughout the Saturnian day and also evolved throughout the length of the Saturnian era. As a unified entity, the Saturnian All Father received different names by different races. But different aspects of him - orb, rings, and axis ...
