... . 5. And on the lower I placed the sun for the illumination of the day, and the moon and stars for the illumination of night. It is generally conceded that the term "stars", as used in the first line of verse 4, refers not to stars but to the sun, moon and certain of the planets. It will be noted that the fourth circle is not mentioned in the list. Because of information found elsewhere in the book, which I cannot detail here, it is my opinion that omission of that circle does not indicate a missing or unlisted planet. In the following set of tabulations I have attempted an analysis, based on ...
22. Sagan's fifth problem: Chemistry & biology of the terrestrial planets (Carl Sagan & Immanuel Velikovsky) [Books]
... From: Carl Sagan & Immanuel Velikovsky by Charles Ginenthal CD Home | Contents Contents Part I An Improbable Tale The Historical Evidence Velikovsky's theory Part II Sagan's Problems First Second Third Fourth Fifth Sixth Seventh Eight Nine Ten Problems Appendices Conclusion Sagan's fifth problem: Chemistry & biology of the terrestrial planets The origin of atmospheric oxygen Sagan states, "Velikovsky's thesis has some peculiar biological and chemical consequences, which are compounded by some straightforward confusions of simple matters. He seems not to know (p .16) that oxygen is produced by green-plant photosynthesis on the Earth."1 Let us, therefore, examine p.16 of Worlds in Collision to see just what Velikovsky did say. ...
23. Stability of Solid Cores in Gaseous Planets [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. III No. 1 (Fall 1977) Home | Issue Contents Stability of Solid Cores in Gaseous Planets Eric W. Crew If an imaginary planet made of uniform material has a diametrical hole through it and the weight of an object is measured at various points along the hole, the weight will decrease with distance below the surface of the planet until it becomes zero at the center. This happens because the gravitational pull of the shell of material above any level inside the body sums to zero, and all the pull towards the center is due to the mass of the sphere of material below that level. In this hypothetical model the mass of this ...
24. Orbits of Core Material Ejected from Gaseous Planets [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. X No. 2 (Winter 1985) Home | Issue Contents Orbits of Core Material Ejected from Gaseous Planets Eric W. Crew The core of a large gaseous planet can be displaced from its central position by a small radial force. This will produce turbulence which could lead to further displacement, since the restoring gravitational force is very small. It is claimed(1 ) that the energy stored in the core of Jupiter is much greater than that required to eject material equal to the present mass of Venus at surface escape velocity from Jupiter. Some notes are included later on the effect of the expulsion of core material from Saturn, which would appear ...
25. The Cosmic String of Pearls [Journals] [Aeon]
... addressed in mythological literature, but really opens the door to a new theory of mythical origins. The Great Conjunction One of the great enigmas in the science of antiquity is the widespread notion of the great planetary conjunction. According to an age-old tradition attested in cultures as far ranging as ancient Greece and China, there was a time when all planets- usually counted as seven including the Sun and Moon- were positioned in absolute conjunction, so that a single straight line could be drawn between the centres of all of them. This occurred in the beginning of time, the moment of creation if you like, and, considering the cyclical motion of the heavens, will occur again ...
26. The Origin Of The Planetary System, Prologue Ch.1 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... From "Worlds in Collision" © 1950 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents The Origin Of The Planetary System All theories of the origin of the planetary system and the motive forces that sustain the motion of its members go back to the gravitational theory and the celestial mechanics of Newton. The sun attracts the planets, and if it were not for a second urge, they would fall into the sun; but each planet is impelled by its momentum to proceed in a direction away from the sun, and as a result, an orbit is formed. Similarly, a satellite or a moon is subject to an urge that drives it away from its primary, ...
27. Solaria Binaria [Books] [de Grazia books]
... Solaria Binaria. Between the Sun and Super-Uranus there would have to be a connection, a great axis of fire, an electrical current discharging its powerful pulses across the axis of the binary. Figure 9 shows this and other features of the system. An excessive charge on the Sun would occasion the current or arc. THE MAGNETIC TUBE AND PLANETS Around this gigantic axial current, a magnetic field would be induced. This field was composed of ionized gases and contained a number of the chemical elements in atomic and molecular form, including especially water in its three forms. The field rotated around the central axis. Within the outer envelope of the rotating gases were a set of planets ...

... 2 and 8, However, V inclined to the view that the flies of plague 4 were actually dumped on the earth by the Venus Comet, having been "carried in its trailing atmosphere in the form of larvae." They were thus "not merely the earthly brood, swarming in heat like other vermin, but guests from another planet." Plague 3 might have been of similar origin, but if it was, V doesn't specifically say so. Next, as the earth plunged even deeper into the tail of the comet, the earth's rotation was disturbed and great hurricanes whipped up clouds of cometary dust and cinders so that the light of day was blotted out. ...
29. One Of The Planets Is A Comet, Part 1 Venus Ch.8 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... From "Worlds in Collision" © 1950 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents One Of The Planets Is A Comet Democritus (circa -460 to circa -370), a contemporary of Plato and one of the great scholars of antiquity, is accused by the moderns of not having understood the planetary character of Venus.(41) Plutarch quotes him as speaking of Venus as if it were not one of the planets. But apparently the author of the treatises on geometry, optics, and astronomy, no longer extant, knew more about Venus than his critics think. From quotations which have survived in other authors, we know that Democritus built a theory of the ...
30. Violent Beginnings For Newly Discovered Planets [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... From: SIS Internet Digest 1996:2 (Feb 1997) Home | Issue Contents Press Releases Violent Beginnings For Newly Discovered Planets 7 November, 1996. Cambridge, Mass - The dozen or so new planets discovered within the past year probably had violent beginnings, mainly because they were born in solar systems with two or more massive planets the size of Jupiter, according to astrophysicists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). "The properties of these new planets are completely different from those of the planets in our own solar system," said Frederic A. Rasio, an assistant professor in the Department of Physics. Professor Rasio and Eric B. Ford, an ...
