... desires, they were, in more than one respect, absolutely supreme. Requiring a generic name, these mysterious celestial beings eventually became known as gods- which, in whatever language or dialect thereof, was at first an indistinctive term employed to describe the undescribable. It is as such that we must understand primitive man's first concept of the planets. Because, in that far gone time, the planets did not always appear serene, our ancestors must have soon fell prone to fearing them. And because there were times when planetary malignity resulted in havoc, these primitive societies did not take long to realize that they lived their life completely at their mercy. Since they could not ...
12. The Saturn Problem [Journals] [SIS Review]
... . For many years Editor of the SIS Review, he is now an honorary member of the Society. Summary The gods of the ancient world are complex quantities not susceptible to a universal explanation. While we should be wary of over-concentrating on their astral aspect, the planetary role of many ancient gods is undeniable. The importance given to the planets in ancient pantheons, and in particular the prominence given to the outer planets Saturn and Jupiter, needs investigation. A simple mechanism is offered to account for many of the characteristics attributed to Saturn-deities, and a catastrophist speculation offered to explain how the idea of a divine succession' of planetary deities may have started. The planet Saturn appears ...
13. New Frontiers on the Stability of the Solar System [Articles]
... one of the most successful hypotheses ever formed. It showed that Kepler's three Laws of Planetary Motion were necessary consequences of the Law of Gravitation. Given the Law of Gravitation and Newton's three Laws of Motion, then Kepler's three Laws of Planetary Motion were justified, they were deductions from the Law of Gravitation. So if we say that a planet is attracted by the Sun, then we can say that if it is attracted by the Law of Gravitation, the orbit of the planet will be an ellipse with the Sun at one focus of the ellipse. We can say that the radius vector joining planet to Sun will sweep out equal areas in equal times and we can say ...
14. Reviewing Velikovsky'S Venus And Mars Theories [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... . There, he advocated that Venus, after being expelled by Jupiter, began to make close flybys of the Earth occasionally during the second millennium BCE. In addition, Velikovsky advocated that Venus had been a comet with a long, highly reflective, cometary tail. Velikovsky's second new paradigm was on pages 207-360, wherein Velikovsky advocated that the planet Mars also had made several close flybys of the Earth. These later Mars flybys he dated in the earliest third of the fiirst millennium BCE, the era of Israel's prophets. Mars in that later era had been the assaulting planet, making several close flybys of the Earth. But Mars was not Velikovsky's "comet," the Jovian ...
15. Heracles and the Planet Mars [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon I:4 (Jul 1988) Home | Issue Contents Heracles and the Planet Mars Ev Cochrane The name of Heracles has conjured up images of strength and heroic valor for some 3,000 years, the fame of the Greek strongman being unrivaled by that of any other legendary figure. And while there have been literally hundreds of attempts to explain the hero's original significance, it is fair to say that no consensus has been reached and a mystery remains. Our purpose here will be to present the outlines of a comprehensive theory of Heracles' origins, one capable of accounting for the vast majority of the hero's characteristics. Of the canonical 12 labors we will ...
16. Venus -- A Youthful Planet [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. IV No. 3 (Spring 1979) Home | Issue Contents Venus- A Youthful Planet Immanuel Velikovsky Copyright (c ) 1967 & 1979 by Immanuel Velikovsky The article "Venus - a Youthful Planet " was written in 1963 and was offered for publication in the Proceedings of the American Philosophical Society by Professor H. H. Hess, a member of that Society. The paper was discussed at the editorial board meeting of the Society and caused prolonged and emotional deliberations with the Board split between those favoring the publication and those opposed to it. For several months a decision could not be reached. For a time it was planned to open a new ...
17. Origin And Evolution Of Solar Systems [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... admits that the problem of solar system formation "remains largely unresolved."283 R. S. Lewis, citing Don L. Anderson of the California Institute of Technology, was also (after much space exploration) forced to admit of the Moon, "All the classical theories of lunar origin are still with us-capture, fission and dual planet accretion. 284 As of this time (1999) further research has led to the discovery of other planetary systems and as we will see, they do not support the current conventional models that explain how the solar system came into being. They, rather flatly, contradict them. There are a few concepts that explain the way the ...
18. Antiquated Textbooks: Redesigning the Solar System [Journals] [Aeon]
... , however, like to come to grips with Willy Ley because, as one of Velikovsky's old detractors, it seems somewhat ironic that, in 1969- nineteen years after the publication of Velikovsky's Worlds in Collision- he had to admit that astronomers have had to redesign the Solar System. [4 ] Even back then, hardly a single planet had retained the same identity it once enjoyed as, one by one, the discoveries of the Space Age altered what had been believed to be the well-known characteristics of each. Mercury Mercury, for instance, had been well-known to move in such a way that its period of rotation equaled its period of revolution. This meant that, ...
19. News from the Internet [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... ). The No Plays of Japan (10/13/2003). Firmament and Chaos www.firmament-chaos.com Paper: A New Paradigm for the Jovian System (Sept 2003). Abstract: We propose a new paradigm for the cosmogony of the Solar System in which Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune were the only primordial planets. The bulk of their accretion was a slow, cold process in which ice particles containing refractory grains melted and fell like snow, in the atmosphere of the protoplanet. As the pressure in the interior increased gas hydrates formed which incorporate the entire spectrum of elements. Therefore, these are solid low density planets. The terrestrial planets were ...
20. The Electro-gravitic Theory of Celestial Motion [Journals] [Aeon]
... in 1950 in Worlds in Collision, where he stated, "The accepted celestial mechanics notwithstanding, the many calculations that have been carried out to many decimal places or verified by celestial motions stand only if the sun, the source of light and warmth and other radiation. . . is as a whole an electrically neutral body, and the planets in their orbits are neutral bodies. "Fundamental principles in celestial mechanics. . .must come into question if the sun possesses a charge sufficient to influence the planets in their orbits and the comets in theirs." (3 ) For his advance claim of these solar and planetary magnetospheres Velikovsky was reviled by the scientific establishment. Today ...
