... of planetary catastrophism, his passion is to assemble the big picture'. Summary The strongest conventional argument against planetary involvement in prehistoric catastrophes is that a Newtonian system should have some orbits showing evidence of recent encounters. It is argued that the fault in this argument lies in our misunderstanding of the nature of gravity. Evidence is presented that certain planets were much closer to the Earth in prehistory and the nature of that evidence lends support to a new model of gravity. The strongest conventional argument against planetary involvement in prehistoric catastrophes is that, if Venus once moved on an unstable path, we should expect its orbit to still show marked eccentricity - yet its orbital eccentricity is practically zero ...
222. "Let There be Light" [Journals] [Kronos]
... singular, or synonym, of "Elohim," however, is hardly lost; it is merely "El" or "Eloah."(3 ) The Phoenician scholar Sanchoniathon, as quoted by Philo of Byblos, identified the Canaanite El with the Greek god called Kronos,(4 ) which is also the Greek name for the planet Saturn. W.F . Albright equated El with the Assyro-Babylonian Shamash,(5 ) which is likewise an alternate name for the planet Saturn.(6 ) Heidel also tell us that "Cronos [Saturn] is called El by the Phoenicians."(7 ) In Job 22:12-14, El is associated with Eloah ...
223. News from the Internet [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... phenomenon of precession of the equinox had to be based solely on movement of the Earth. Although, it has stood for almost 500 years with only minor changes, it fails to answer a number of well-documented solar system anomalies: Angular Momentum: Why is there an anomalous distribution of angular momentum in the solar system- why do the Jovian planets have most of the angular momentum when the Sun has most of the mass? Sheer Edge: Why, just beyond the Kuiper Belt, does our solar system seem to have an unusual sheer edge to it? This is surprising for a single sun system. [. .] Comet Paths: Why are many comet paths concentrated in ...
224. Book Review [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... From: SIS Workshop Vol 2 No 2 (Nov 1979) Home | Issue Contents Book Review The Twelfth Planet by Zecharia Sitchin Published by G. Allen Unwin, 1977 . Review by Peter James AT FIRST glance this well-produced and, on the whole, pleasantly written volume offers the promise of being a stimulating and serious attempt to reinterpret ancient Near Eastern religion and human prehistory. Relying on Babylonian and Biblical mythology in the main, and displaying some apparent erudition, Sitchin develops a model for the origins of civilisation that reminds one at once of the catastrophist theories of Immanuel Velikovsky and Robert Temple's Claim of extraterrestrial intervention in the ancient Near East. The primum mobile of Sitchin's cosmos ...
225. Morning Star II [Journals] [Aeon]
... , among other related things, means "shining." "Helel," therefore, can be translated as "the Shining One." And it is this designation- i.e . the Shining One, Son of Dawn- that has led to the identification of Helel as the Morning Star and, by implication, as the planet Venus. For that reason, English versions of the Old Testament have supplanted the name "Helel" with "Lucifer," a Latin name that means "Light Bringer" or "Light Bearer," a designation for the same planet as Morning Star. It should, however, be kept in mind that, in Hebrew, ...
226. Introduction: The Saturn Myth [Books]
... -- I Introduction The planet Saturn today is recognizable only to those who know where to look for it. But a few thousand years ago Saturn dominated the earth as a sun, presiding over a universal Golden Age. Modern man considers it self-evident that our familiar heavens differ hardly at all from the heavens encountered by the earliest star worshippers. He assumes that the most distinctive bodies venerated in primitive times were the sun and moon, followed by the five visible planets and various constellations- all appearing as they do today, but for such ever-so-slight changes as the precession of the equinoxes. This long-standing belief not only confines present discussion of ancient myth and religion; it is ...
227. Book Shelf [Journals] [Aeon]
... Fra Angelo Secchi who drew lines on imperfect maps of Mars connecting imagined watery seas and called them canali (channels), a term which was later almost inextricably associated with the astronomer Giovanni Schiaparelli and translated as "canals," implying artifacts. The astronomer Percival Lowell never wavered in his belief that there were Martians fighting to save their dying planet. Around the turn of the century, following his electrical experiments in Colorado Springs, Nikola Tesla proclaimed to the world that messages to and from Earth with the inhabitants of the planet Mars were imminent. In England, Lord Kelvin (William Thomson) was in full agreement with Tesla that Martians were attempting to contact Earth. This was ...
228. Saturn and the Flood: The Ice-Core Evidence [Journals] [Aeon]
... edited version is being republished here because of its relevance to the Saturn theory which has been, and continues to be, discussed in the pages of this periodical. Ed. The Venus and Mars catastrophes described in Worlds in Collision were only the latest in a series which, according to Immanuel Velikovsky, at one time or another involved every planet visible to the naked eye. Critiques of the Worlds in Collision scenario began appearing even before its publication in book form. This may have something to do with the fact that Velikovsky never finished the work describing those earlier catastrophes, because they make Worlds in Collision look pretty tame by comparison. Someday, his executors may release the manuscript ...
229. Stability and Dimensions of the Polar Configuration [Journals] [Aeon]
... Issue Contents Stability and Dimensions of the Polar Configuration Robert B. Driscoll In the previous study of the interplanetary gravitational and magnetic forces, making possible the existence of a polar configuration in the sense of Talbott, Cochrane, and Cardona, (1 ) the instability of the joint gravitational and magnetic dipole-dipole interaction of Saturn and each of the smaller planets was counteracted by the heliocentric magnetic field generated by the inwardly accreting motion of the ionized inner portion of the circumhelially revolving gas disk. The direction of this field, north or south, was determined by that of the initial field of Helios. (2 ) However, further calculation has shown that if this had been the only stabilizing ...
230. Yuddha, Part 2 Mars Ch.3 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... From "Worlds in Collision" © 1950 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents Yuddha In an old textbook on Hindu astronomy, the Surya-Siddhanta, there is a chapter, "Of planetary conjunctions." Modern astronomy knows only one kind of conjunction between planets, when one planet (or sun) stands between the earth and another planet (differentiated only as superior and inferior conjunction and opposition). But ancient Hindu astronomy distinguished between many different conjunctions, translated as follows: samyoga (conjunction), samagama (coming together), yoga (junction), melaka (uniting), yuti (union), yuddha (encounter, in the meaning of conflict, ...
