... thesis is the fact that it is subject to rejection upon a score of tests. For example, if Velikovsky's scenario is valid one would expect to find evidence in the ancient sources that Venus recently bore a comet-like appearance or moved in a different orbit than its present one; evidence that planets figured prominently in ancient systems of religion; and physical evidence of recent upheavals involving the planets Venus and Jupiter (in the case of Venus, for example, one might expect to find internal sources of heat, a volatile geology, an unstable and perhaps still escaping atmosphere, etc). Should Velikovsky's thesis fail any of these decisive tests it should rightfully be rejected. A good deal ...
682. Return to the Tippe Top [Journals] [SIS Review]
... ." Figure 1. Schematic representation of viewing situation for Seti I type of ceiling (above) and the Senmut/Ramesses type (below) Already, you will be beginning to appreciate that the interpretation of these ceilings is not a straightforward task. The complications were already hinted at by Velikovsky's description which includes an apparent need for both physical and mental gymnastics. For the physical problem of viewing the ceilings I had originally imagined the ceilings to be arched. Not having seen any of the ceilings in the flesh, I was relying on indirect evidence from photographs and sketches of related structures, such as the illustration on the cover of SIS Review IV:2 /3 which ...
683. The Genesis of the Jerusalem Scripta [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Soon the response showed that two fields were best represented, "Orientalia et Judaica" and "Mathematica et Physica". EINSTEIN, then in his forty-third year, one year after he was awarded the Nobel prize, agreed to act as editor for the latter series. Soon we had contributions from a galaxy of illustrious names in mathematics, physics and engineering, like HARALD BOHR (whose mother was Jewish), L. S. ORNSTEIN, J. HADAMARD and others. The answers from the scholars were by far not all in the affirmative: some French Jews refused to participate with German Jews in one venture: the wounds of World War I were not yet healed; ...
684. Ezra and Nehemiah in Recent Research [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... three Persian kings and as many decrees there are only two which once again takes us back to Ezra 4:4-5. We are dealing with events which in rhetoric and in fact span only the reigns of Cyrus and Darius. Another source for the reconstruction of the Post Exilic period is that of individual genealogy or patronymic which function in a physical manner unattested prior to that time. Thus "x " is the physical son of "y " or he does not belong to the community see Ezra 2:61-62. Thus if one can sort out a few of these genealogies they can be used to support or refute the historical and literary interpretations developed above. Almost every genealogy ...
685. Thoth Vol I, No. 6: March 16, 1997 [Journals] [Thoth]
... common understanding, is there? After all, truth (religion) is personal. The Constitution says it is. Well....If there isn't one truth- a common possible-to-perceive reality, a set of values that transcends cultural differences- for human beings then we are truly alien. We may share the same body chemistry and may be physically classified as the same, but in the ultimately important aspects we are psychological, intellectual and spiritual aliens. We may be able to procreate together and share the same species label as Homo Sapiens but the name is a bad joke. The originators of the THOTH electronic newsletter believe that we truly need a "throbbing, vital center" ...
686. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... (Astrophysics and Space Science, vol.91, p.345)." We suspect that some profound similarity has been "discovered" between the forces of electromagnetism and gravity because New Scientist goes on to report: "Wayte's approach has close similarities to our understanding of electromagnetism. It may have profound implications for the long-sought unification of physics." Mountain of God?source: The Jewish Week, Inc. 10.4 .87 We have noted the theories of Emanuel Anati before (Workshop 5:4 , p.29; 1986:1 , p.27), namely that Mount Karkom in Sinai was the biblical "Mount Sinai" and Place of ...
... an individual [155] who doesn't believe Velikovsky but does believe in the canals of Mars? So the criticisms of Velikovsky are replete with committed blunders. I would add that the critics were also guilty of important errors of omission: I have shown that Cosmos without Gravitation can readily serve as evidence that Velikovsky was ignorant of the fundamentals of physical science; could not this demonstration have been given in 1950? It appears that only two reviewers [214, 288] referred to that monograph, and then only in passing. But the greatest error of omission of which Velikovsky's critics were guilty was the failure to challenge the claim, so frequently made [8o, 189, 389 ...
688. Catastrophism and the Compulsion to Meaning [Journals] [Kronos]
... Indeterminacy Principle formulated by Heisenberg out of the experience of the effort to conduct observations of matter at the sub-atomic level. In its classical statement, it maintains that no quantum-mechanical system can simultaneously possess an exact position and an exact momentum. In its philosophical application, largely provided by Heisenberg himself, it implies that laws deduced from behaviour in the physical world can never have objective authority over the actions of man, since this behaviour will always remain part of a system in which man is present as observer and setting limits to what he can observe. Thus, though there is nothing to prevent totalitarian governments from continuing in programmes of murder and terror, their claim to justify these on ...

... all been constant,* as had been generally assumed, but that there have been lengthy periods either of sun-spot quiescence or activity which have had major effects on the Earth's climate. The notion that the so called "solar constant" is, in fact, invariable, is being rapidly relegated to the arcane world of Keplerian astronomy and Newtonian physics, and with it the comfortable, though incorrect, assumption that the sun-spot cycle observes a neat, predictable 11-year period.(74) [* See R. E. Juergens, "Stellar Thermonuclear Energy: A False Trail?" KRONOS IV: 4, pp. 16-27; E. R. Milton, "The Not ...
690. The Opening Of The Mouth Ritual - Part III [Journals] [Aeon]
... - Part III Ken Moss Death & Resurrection in Egypt and Mesoamerica To conclude this three-part inquiry into the Opening of the Mouth Ritual, primarily Egypt's, we will now look at some intriguing similarities and differences found in civilizations across the Atlantic. I am speaking of the Mesoamericans, particularly the Maya and Aztec. I will not be discussing actual physical contact between ancient Egypt and Mesoamerica, and definitely not some kind of spiritual or extra-sensory connection. Although sympathetic to a degree, I'll leave that to the lovers of mysticism and fuzzy logic. However, there is no denying that these two very different people on opposite sides of a great ocean not only often perceived the same reality but ...
