... The point is that we can do these experiments in the laboratory quite effectively without any recourse to any magic or dreaming up anything about the orbit of Venus - and it only works in the polar planetary configuration. Questions to Ev and Wal Q1. In reply to a question about Venus, Wal Thornhill said the Birkeland plasma currents from that planet reach 40 million kilometres to the Earth where they were detected by the SOHO satellite a few years ago. It puzzled astronomers, who asked how can Venus' magnetotail be so coherent and stringy - they called the plasma threads stringy things' - at the orbit of the Earth? The answer is that Venus is still discharging after its ...
242. The Electric Universe [Journals] [SIS Review]
... that a new plasma cosmology and an understanding of electrical phenomena in space could illuminate work being done in comparative mythology. By using information from a wide span of human existence and knowledge, the Electric Universe can provide answers to many questions that seem unrelated. For example, records of the prehistoric sky can help unravel the recent history of the planets and the planets bear witness with pristine scars of cosmic encounters. The result is an exciting Big Picture' that emphasises our dramatic prehistory and essential connection with the universe. In questions of science the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual. ' Galileo Galilei What is wrong with the present cosmology of ...
243. Worlds In Collision And Recent Finds In Astronomy. Ch.17 Supplement (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... accepted for publication though not yet published (1946-49), and in the years following its publication in 1950 several fundamental observations were made and explanations offered that have a clear bearing on the theory of that book. The zodiacal light, or the glow seen in the evening sky after sunset, stretching in the path of the sun and other planets (ecliptic), the mysterious origin of which has for a long time occupied the minds of astronomers, has been explained in recent years as the reflection of the solar light from two rings of dust particles, one following the orbit of Venus, the other an orbit between Mars and Jupiter, places where, according to Worlds in ...
244. The Cyclic Nature of Ancient Catastrophes [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... train. One difference between the robot-driven cars and trains is that there was only one crossing; in the case of interlooping circles or ellipses (all orbits are ellipses) the number of planetary crossings is not one, but two. Figure 1 demonstrates the first set of facts about our celestial model. These are the ancient orbits of two planets, Earth and Mars, Earth's being the rounder one. These orbits were (as they are today) on the same ecliptic plane, and being so, they crossed. They crossed twice, and the two locations are described by the day of the month when the Earth, in its ancient orbit, was at either of the ...
245. Thoth Vol I, No. 10: April 22, 1997 [Journals] [Thoth]
... been believed to be true. Nietzsche- SATURN: THE ANCIENT SUN GOD By David Talbott (dtalbott@teleport.com) Many threads of Greek and Roman astronomy appear to lead back to a priestly astronomy arising in Mesopotamia some time in the first millennium B.C . The Babylonians were apparently the first to develop systematic observations of the planets, and they recorded the celestial motions with considerable skill. But in laying the foundations of later astronomy, they also preserved a crucial link with the past. Again and again they asserted a claim that could only appear preposterous to the modern translator. They declared that the distant planets were the *gods* of former times. Sumerian ...
246. Making Sense of Astronomy and Geology by Dirk Bontes (Book Review). C&C Review 2002:1 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... differences: two of the papers' - the book's 25 chapters - are from a conference on planetary geology and all are by Dirk Bontes. Intended as a minor addendum to his as yet unpublished opus, The Nature of Reality, the collection grew to 256 pages and became a book in its own right. MSAG opens with stars and planets that orbit within the body of much larger, low density stars. A later chapter deduces a model for the magnetic fields of stars and planets, concluding that most extra-solar planets - and some black holes in supposedly binary systems - are illusions created by Zeeman Effect stars. Other chapters explain the physical and orbital characteristics of planets and moons ...
247. The Circularisation of Planetary Orbits [Journals] [SIS Review]
... many whose reading of Prof. R. W. Bass's two papers on orbital stability mechanics in Pensée VIII (Summer 1974), now updated and republished in Kronos I:3 (Autumn 1975) and 11:2 (November 1976), has persuaded them to take a new look at Velikovsky's theories. The question of how the planets could have relaxed into their present almost circular orbits in the space of only a few thousand years since Venus' postulated flirtations with the other planets seemed the great dynamical stumbling block for Velikovsky, short of some Act of God. To take an example from a similar sort of situation, there was a very interesting article in the February ...
248. The Milky Way [Journals] [Aeon]
... the traditions surrounding it in terms of its present appearance. How could such a situation arise? Since the inauguration of this journal eight years ago, our readers have been inundated with evidence that the solar system has only recently been subject to wholesale changes; that great cataclysms wreaked havoc with the ancient heavens, displacing "suns" and launching planets into new and strange orbits. With the supplanting of these prim-eval suns and planets- in many ways the focal point of ancient myth and religion- the ancient skywatchers sought substitutes amongst the stars and constellations which appeared in the wake of the cataclysm. Traditions originally associated with the planet Venus, for example, became transferred to Sirius, ...
249. Child of Saturn (Part IV) [Journals] [Kronos]
... Persia, which we shall now evaluate, in our continuing search for the progenitor of Venus. It should, of course, be remembered that, in his Worlds in Collision, Immanuel Velikovsky went against accepted belief by identifying this god, long assumed to have been a manifestation of the Sun,(2 ) as a personification of the planet Venus. Mitra, spelt without the "h ", is the chosen transliteration of the Sanskrit version of this deity's name, and this variant is commonly used when alluding to the Indic god. The Indological assumption that this god personified the Sun or, at least, an aspect thereof, stems from a passage in the Brahma Purana ...
250. CHZ and Solar System Stability [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... not taken into account in his presentation is the definition of the CHZ. This was explored by Su-Shu Huang. (5 ) Life, as understood on Earth, is essentially related to liquid water. Without liquid water, most life forms on Earth would not exist. In essence, the Continuously Habitable Zone is the region in which a planet can retain a significant amount of liquid water at its surface, assuming a suitable atmospheric pressure. The climate extremes that would prevent a habitable Earth are, then, the cases where all the water has been evaporated from the surface (runaway greenhouse) or where Earth has become completely glaciated (ice catastrophe). (6 ) If ...
