... resulting from the fact that massive objects in space are not point masses, but, rather, have extensibility (finite volume). If the approach velocity of the massive object is much less than the speed of light (" c " equal to 300,000 kilometers per second), the tidal effect of such a passage on the planets would most likely be minimal. For example, if the object is the same distance from the Earth as the Sun, and has solar mass, then its tidal pull would be approximately equal to that of the Sun. This particular tidal effect is only about one-half of the tidal pull exerted by the Moon upon the Earth, and ...
... of Velikovsky's historical and legendary evidence in a field in which he possesses little or no training. This, on the face of it, seems quite incredible. Let us therefore proceed to Sagan's historical and legendary material. What must be pointed out before proceeding though is that the fundamental legend that Velikovsky cited as evidence is the legend of the planet Venus as the cause of a world-wide catastrophe. Velikovsky found this legend telling of the same events among all of the major and minor ancient cultures. One would naturally expect Sagan to attack this evidence most forcefully. Diffusion or common observation According to Sagan there are four ways in which the same (Venus) legend would be found among ...
... and its Surroundings Trevor Palmer The Solar System The Solar System in which we live shows very little evidence of having been at peace with itself since its formation. It is generally believed that its components began to coalesce from a spinning disc of gas and dust some 4,600 Myr (million years) ago [1 ]. Had the planets, moons and other bodies so formed then remained in orbits which did not bring them into conflict with each other, the Solar System today would surely show more consistency of features, with far fewer anomalies, than it actually does. Supercomputers such as the Cray at the University of London, used in Professor Archie Roy's Project LONGSTOP, ...
114. Prologue: The Good Earth (Mankind in Amnesia) [Velikovsky]
... "Mankind in Amnesia" © 1982 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents Prologue: The Good Earth It has been immensely difficult for the mind of man to part with the conviction that his Earth is immovable and in the center of Creation, thus in the center of the system to which the Sun, the Moon and the planets belong, and in which the stars are without a clear purpose or design. It is possible that the dogmatic opposition to the heliocentric system of the universe would not have been so complete and adamant were it known that though the Earth is not located in the center of the system, it occupies the preferred position and possesses the optimal ...
115. Chain Reactions - A Victory For Mars [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... to elaborate on those allusions to Mars. The final arrival of Mars at its present orbit has always been a rather neglected subject within the Velikovsky literature. The basic problem is: if Mars perturbed Earth onto its present orbit, what sort of event might subsequently have put Mars on its present orbit? When there is a near-collision of two planets, both planets will have their orbits altered. If one planet is much more massive than the other, then the larger planet's orbital change may seem insignificant, and may even be imperceptible. Nonetheless, the effects on the two planets will be in balance. For example, the total orbital angular momentum of the two planets would not ...
116. Saturn's Revolving Crescent [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]

November 3, 1997 Saturn's Revolving Crescent At 2:44 PM 2 Sep 97, Amy Acheson wrote: I want to bring in a related question here. We remember when the planets Uranus, Neptune and Pluto were "first" discovered- since the invention of the telescope) and named after the gods of the ancients. Yet Uranus and Neptune show scars of catastrophe, too. Uranus with its entire moon system is lying on its back, nearly 90 degrees to the plane in which it circles the sun. Neptune's largest moon revolves ...
117. The Titius-Bode Law and the Evolution of the Solar System [Journals] [Pensee]
... "law." If it is not a "law," then clearly the "law" says nothing about anything, we can skip the rest of this talk, drop the discussion, and concentrate on something useful, like Watergate. In modern notation, the original law can be stated this way: the distance to the nth planet is Rn = (4 )+ (3 ) (2 )n , n =-[infinity], 0, 1, 2.... (1 ) where n = [infinity] for Mercury, 0 for Venus, 1 for Earth, etc. The law is normalized to 10 for the Earth. ...
118. The Venus versus Mars Controversy, or Which Planet Moved the Earth? [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... From: Catastrophism and Ancient History X:2 (July 1988) Home | Issue Contents The Venus versus Mars Controversy, or Which Planet Moved the Earth?Samuel Ronald Windsor Shortly after the second world war Immanuel Velikovsky [1 ] assembled an imposing compilation of historical references to a time of solar-system chaos. It was a time when two planets interfered with each other's peaceful progress in their respective orbits. Because Earth was a participant, people in many different cultures kept records of these "celestial wars." Velikovsky's data are impressive, and many have come to accept his theories as valid. Velikovsky advanced the hypothesis that planets Venus and Mars were the heavenly bodies recorded as ...
... Compared to History Its relation to other Physical Sciences Not to V e confounded with Cosmogony. GEOLOGY is the science which investigates the successive changes that have taken place in the organic and inorganic kingdoms of nature ; it inquires into the causes of these changes, and the influence which they have exerted in modifying the surface and external structure of our planet. By these researches into the state of the earth and its inhabitants at former periods, we acquire a more perfect knowledge of its present condition, and more comprehensive views concerning the laws now governing its animate and inanimate productions. When we study history, we obtain a more profound insight into human nature, by instituting a comparison between ...
120. A Tale Of Two Venuses [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... as will be demonstrated below. Henry H. Bauer has attacked Velikovsky because of his prediction of radio noise from Jupiter: 1. . . he coupled the original suggestion with the acknowledgment that Jupiter is cold." ' What Velikovsky wrote was: "In Jupiter and its moons we have a system not unlike the solar family. The planet is cold, yet its gases are in motion. It appears probable to me that it sends out radio noises as do the Sun and stars. I suggest this be investigated." 2 Bauer, however, challenges Velikovsky's prediction with the following: "Yet by 1962 the consensus was that the surface temperature . . . . was ...
