... than Deg, I think, although he denied it and had to make liberal use of copy-editors. For he explained his every step carefully and was rarely abstract or harsh, whereas Deg usually wrote condensedly, abstractly, and stridently. Looking at V. in these first meetings in a more analytic way. Deg questioned whether a person so physically modeled to the ideal expectation of a heroic figure could nevertheless be a genius and not an actor, an honest victim and not a charlatan. Of what could V complain; he was famous; his books sold by the tens of thousands; his messages had carried throughout the English-speaking world, into several language-areas of the western world besides ...

... of verbal credit for his efforts. And rarely a mention in the literature. At any rate, Velikovsky has never compared himself with anyone but himself, contrary to Asimov's assertions, and simply stated that his work stands on it own merits. The epistemological weapons with which the church threatened or harassed heretics such as Galileo or Giordano Bruno were physical and brutal. Today's measures are much more subtle, more psychological, but no less brutal. For Asimov to say that scientific orthodoxy is incapable of bringing pressure to bear because it is the weakest and most powerless ever invented doesn't conform to the facts - so's an octopus out of its element. If Asimov believes this he shows a ...

The Stars- their Risings and Settings another difference, viz., that the declinations, and therefore the amplitudes, and therefore the places of setting and rising of the stars, change from century to century. . Now that we have thus become acquainted with. the physical cause of that movement of the earth's axis which gives rise to what is called the precession of the equinoxes, we have next to enter with somewhat greater detail into some of the results of the movement. The change of direction of the axis in space has a cycle of something between 25,000 and 26,000 years. ...

... From: Pensée Vol. 2 No 3: (Fall 1972) "Immanuel Velikovsky Reconsidered II" Home | Issue Contents Notes on Dr. Immanuel Velikovsky P.P .M . Meincke Associate dean and professor of physics, University of Toronto FORUM The very mention of the name Velikovsky evokes a wide spectrum of response ranging from awe to flickers of scorn. The historians of science are rushing to document as fully as possible this phenomenon of modem times. But most of what we are witnessing is nothing new or unique to our times. It is simply the birth pangs of new and different ideas struggling for recognition and acceptance in the hostile world of established doctrine. Some ...

... From: Pensée Vol. 2 No 3: (Fall 1972) "Immanuel Velikovsky Reconsidered II" Home | Issue Contents A Classroom Experiment H. B. Keller Associate professor of physics St. Olaf College FORUM Editor's Note: In May, 1967, Dr. Velikovsky delivered the Honors Convocation address at St. Olaf College (Minnesota). Several years ago I arranged an interim lecture and discussion group for some 25 juniors and seniors at St. Olaf College to appraise the ideas and criticisms of the writings of Immanual Velikovsky. The group was broadly organized by discipline and included majors from the natural sciences, the behavioral sciences, history, philosophy, and religion. The ...
777. Ages in Chaos [Velikovsky]
... of Congress Card Number: 52-5224 Dust Cover Published in April of 1950, Immanuel Velikovsky's first epoch-making book, Worlds In Collision, created a furore all over the world. Now, in Ages In Chaos, he presents another aspect of his startling theory - a unique and radical revision of ancient history. Taking for his starting point the simultaneous physical catastrophes described in the book of Exodus and in Egyptian documents, Dr. Velikovsky reconstructs the political and cultural histories of the nations of the ancient world. His reconstruction poses the question-Are six hundred years missing in Israel's history, or have six hundred ghost years crept into Egyptian history? Documents are collated for each generation over twelve ...
778. Pendulums and Sunspots [Journals] [Aeon]
... on pendulum experiments, Ellenberger claims that, using the short and the long version, he can discredit EJ. Saxl's experiments. Here I claim that Ellenberger's statements have little merit because he paid not the slightest attention to either his own sources or to mine. True, he cites Saxl's paper in Nature and that of Saxl and Allen in Physical Science.(20) But Ellenberger ignored the evidence I presented concerning solar eclipses in my response to Earl Milton.(21) In the body of my remarks, as well as the footnotes I supplied, I also cited the additional comments of Maurice Allais.(22) Ellenberger ignored Allais's papers and concentrated his arguments on the ...
779. On the geographical displacement of poles after close passage of a body of planetary size [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... From: SIS Internet Digest 2002:1 (Sep 2002) Home | Issue Contents On the geographical displacement of poles after close passage of a body of planetary size Prof. Walter Baltensperger Brazilian Center for Research in Physics Rio de Janeiro The aim of this work is not to prove or disprove ideas of Immanuel Velikovsky, but to explain the Ice Ages. These began about 3 million years ago, when the mean global temperature started to decrease. Irregularly, several times in 100 000 years, the mean temperature sharply increased, sometimes reaching values higher than at present. The lower the average temperature, the stronger were these fluctuations. During the Late Glacial Maximum, about 20 ...

... is weak, then it will be easily overruled by contrary opinions of science. If the conclusions are well supported by the evidence cited, then there is a basis for re-considering contrary scientific opinion. And if some of the conclusions are INESCAPABLE, as I believe some are, then one can be confident that there will be no conflict with physical facts as the specialists comes to interpret the facts correctly. By all means, let the scientists among us express every doubt. As we've said many times, the remembered events could not have occurred without leaving a vast trail of physical evidence. (I intend to suggest several lines of inquiry in the present series.) But all ...
