... . 2 No 3: (Fall 1972) "Immanuel Velikovsky Reconsidered II" Home | Issue Contents Letters FORUM Scientific Revolution To The Editor: The May, 1972, issue of Pensée has just come to my desk, somewhat round about. Congratulations on your treatment of Velikovsky, as well as his three articles. In the History of Physics courses which I taught (1962-69), I used Velikovsky as an example of a still all too prevalent practice in scientific circles: to downgrade, to ridicule any idea or person who does not fit into what has been termed "Normal Science." My personal heresy is to believe that we are now in the midst of a ...
692. Forum [Journals] [Aeon]
... as did the old Russian station. If Earth revolved within the atmosphere of Saturn- an atmosphere that was dense enough to be visible- it would soon have succumbed to frictional drag and fallen onto Saturn. I am sorry to cast a shadow of doubt on this version of the Saturn theory, but I do not think that it is physically possible. Coming now to Dwardu Cardona's interesting article concerning the age of darkness during Earth's association with Saturn, [3 ] the following odd bit of information might be of interest. It seems that Paleolithic cave paintings did not incorporate the colors blue and green. Only red, brown, orange, and yellow were used. Also, ...
693. The Nature and Origin of Comets and the Evolution of Celestial Bodies (Part I) [Journals] [Kronos]
... the origin of the solar system (OSS), is indispensable. A major result of this paper is also the quantization of Newtonian space. Finally, the link between planetary formation, geomagnetic reversals, and biological evolution is examined. PREFACE This paper was produced during the 1979-80, 1980-81 academic years while the author was a lecturer in the Physics and Mathematics Departments of Cornell University (Ithaca, N. Y.) Only minor grammatical changes have been made for publication and numerous footnotes have been added for clarification. The article is a condensed version of a 450 page manuscript (Origin of the Planets, Comet Capture Processes in the Formation of Solar Systems, also by the author ...
694. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Review]
... those who still adhere to Velikovsky's views is that they are a quaint few surviving in the interstices of fringe culture'. INSIDE SCIENCE The Perils of Peer Review New Scientist 16.11.02, p. 6, Scientific American May 2002, p. 9 French twins have caused an uproar by publishing papers in applied mathematics in reputable physics journals which some physicists subsequently describe as spoof or rubbish. Others consider their work genuine, even when they don't agree with it and one cosmologist refreshingly says that revolutionary theories often sound crazy and warns that It takes a lot of experience to distinguish between creative craziness and plain stupidity or an inventive hoax'. Some think the situation shows ...
695. My Challenge to Conventional Views in Science [Journals] [Pensee]
... Zdenek Kopal - The Solar System (Oxford University Press, 1973) This paper was delivered at the symposium, "Velikovsky's Challenge to Science," held in San Francisco, February 25, 1974, under the auspices of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Bettmann Archive In my published books, notwithstanding often repeated allegations, no physical law is ever abrogated or "temporarily suspended"; what I offered in them is primarily a reconstruction of events from the historical past. Thus I did not set out to confront the existing views with a theory or hypothesis and to develop it into a competing system. My work is first a reconstruction, not a theory; it ...
... , had spread around the world, and consequently there is no proof of the authenticity of the event related. But just because one and the same event [the Venus Myth] is embodied in traditions that are very different indeed, its authenticity becomes highly probable, especially if the records of history, ancient charts, sundials, and the physical evidence of natural history testify to the same effect." 6 Teo- place or god To support his diffusionist claim, Sagan asks,'...how, for example, would Velikovsky explain the fact that the Toltec name for god' seems to have been teo, as in the great city of Teotihuacan (City of ...
697. The Establishment of Gradualism [Books]
... in our era only by Immanuel Velikovsky (among names well known). Velikovsky began his radical .. . reconstruction of cosmology and human history with a central premise that reversed our current tradition of argument: suppose, for the sake of investigation, that everything in the written documents of ancient civilisations is true. Can we then invent a physics that would yield such results? .. . Burnet began by assuming that only one document - The Bible - is unerringly true. His treatise then becomes a search for a physics of natural causes to render these certain results of history .. . As the centrepiece of his logic, Burnet insists again and again that the earth's scripturally ...

... through the roots of the plant. The female bird says to herself, " The time is propitious, and now, of my own free will, and under the operation of my individual judgment, I will lay a nest full of eggs and batch a brood of children." But it is unconscious that it is moved by a physical necessity, which have constrained all its ancestors from the beginning of time, and which will constrain all its posterity to the end of time; that its will is nothing more than an expression of age, development, sunlight, food, and "the sky influences." If it were otherwise it would be in the power of ...
699. The Scars of Mars - I [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. X No. 3 (Summer 1985) Home | Issue Contents The Scars of Mars - I Donald W. Patten ABSTRACT This essay considers the physical geography of Mars. Parts I and II examine the craters of Mars. The commensurability of the sizes of these craters with the asteroids is noted. That 91% of these craters are in one hemisphere suggests that one single fragmentation of a smaller passing planet explains 82% of its craters. That there is a massive bulge, ringed with volcanism, 180 deg opposite to the largest of the Martian craters is indicative that this largest of all of the fragments, perhaps the core fragment, caused not ...
700. Velikovsky's Challenge to the Scientific Establishment [Journals] [Pensee]
... phenomena was transformed into reality so that uniformity became a viable fact in astronomy to the exclusion of catastrophe, all theories thereafter had to be built upon the Newtonian concept to attain professional recognition in astronomy. Furthermore, disciplines themselves became dependent upon orderliness as a precondition for survival; were uniformity to collapse, then an entire discipline, such as physics, could no longer prevail inasmuch as orderliness is so essential to a scientific field of study. Since any discipline is predicated upon an ordered universe of data for inquiry, disciplinary scholarship must crumble as the orderly universe it professes crumbles. Faced with disarray within the very fabric both of what is to be examined and the discipline attempting to ...
