... apparatus to see in a common-sense way that something is fundamentally wrong with Velikovsky's treatment of the text."- Sean Mewhinney, "El-Arish Revisited," Kronos XI:2 "Velikovskians tend very strongly to take facts and ideas in isolation and out of context, and then glue them together."- Roger Ashton, "The Unworkable Polar Saturn," AEON I:3 This Velikovsky potpourri started out simply as an expanded version of "A lesson from Velikovsky" in Skeptical Inquirer (Summer 1986) coupled with (1 ) my talk on Velikovsky's legacies from the Reconsidering Velikovsky Conference in Toronto in August 1990 and (2 ) a defense of my case from Kronos X ...
182. Golden Age Canopy by Isaac Vail [Books]
... gradually descend toward the earth and must have spread to the poles by the mere force of gravity in the torrid and temperate zones there would have been a prolonged down rush of waters but at the poles a down rush of snow. The animals in the warmer regions would be drowned and carried away by the retreating waters. Those in the polar regions would be suddenly entombed in snow. After more than a quarter of a century has passed we find these claims more than justified be the researches in almost every field of thought. Witnesses from almost every land have not failed to testify to the fact of a concealed sun in the cradle time of the human family. Almost every ...
183. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Review]
... of funds may resort to dubious tricks to obtain grants. It is suggested that NASA hyped up the evidence of bacterial life in Martian meteorites in order to get increased level of funding for research on meteorites and extra-terrestrial life. Other ideas get entrenched without any scientific back-up. Nearly 20 years ago it was suggested that the excellent insulating properties of polar bear fur were due to their hairs acting like optical fibres. This is now regarded in many quarters as fact but a recent practical investigation showed the idea to be without foundation. Even worse, although new ideas begin to be voiced in respectable journals, students may be taught the old paradigms and put under pressure not to consider new ...
184. Stairway to Heaven [Journals] [Aeon]
... So-called cup-and-ring petroglyphs showing variations of the heavenly ladder as the axis of the Saturnian configuration. (From a rock at Ilkley, Yorkshire, England.) The idea of a celestial staircase, it can be shown, is simply a variation upon the widespread theme of a World Pillar or axis mundi, the latter thought to extend along the polar axis, thereby connecting the respective sacred worlds (heaven, earth, and underworld). [40] As Mircea Eliade and others have documented, such ideas have been around since the dawn of time: "Ascent to the sky along the Axis of the World is a universal and archaic idea." [41] The same ...
185. The Genie Of The Pivot [Journals] [Kronos]
... , to do with the pole? " (3 ) This problematic theme was used as one of the foundations of reconstructed myth by David Talbott in his book, The Saturn Myth.(4 ) Most of the visual aspects of the primeval god are illustrated in this work. Unfortunately, Talbott's crucial textual supports of Saturn's reconstructed mythical celestial polarity and its various connections to gods are extremely meagre. There is, therefore, cause for the present study to start afresh from where the authors of Hamlet's Mill left it. 3. The Persistent Theme This essay will begin by reviewing the bases for a mythical link between Saturn and the Celestial Pole. Stated or implicit assumptions will be ...
186. Martian Mysteries [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon Volume VI, Number 4 Home | Issue Contents Martian Mysteries Tania ta Maria Because the so-called two equatorial wet areas on Mars occur opposite each other, it has been reasoned that the planet might have tilted drastically in the past. These two so-called wet areas, it has been reasoned, had once formed the planet's polar caps. More than that, this axial tilt has now been theorized to be cyclic. So expect it to happen again. Others have been arguing that Mars has been subjected to immense flooding in the past. But then, again, not everyone agrees. There are those who believe that the signs left by water on Mars are due ...
187. The Saturn Myth: A Tentative Physical Model [Journals] [Aeon]
... orbital plane of each proto-planet, as will be treated more in detail below. Subscenario II Alternatively, the proto-planets became mutually repulsive before they became a binary, and reached the static binary configuration without going through a binary orbital evolution based on mutual attraction. In this sub-scenario, the differential shrinking and rounding of the orbits continues while the static polar configuration is reached, with perturbations depending on growths of charges and atmospheres, as well as on ambient cloud densities and orbital elements. 3. The Capture of Earth When the perihelia of the still-shrinking and rounding orbits approached Earth's orbit at near 1 A.U . from Helios, the orbit was perturbed but, with the remaining eccentricities ...
188. On Morrison: Some Preliminary Remarks [Journals] [Kronos]
... than ever. But if the lower atmosphere were recognised as a global stagnation "basin", polluted with hydrocarbon gases and heated from below by the internal heat of a youthful planet, an acceptable model would undoubtedly be forthcoming with little difficulty. Carbohydrates on Mars Morrison (p . 6): "Velikovsky . . . predicted that the polar caps of Mars are composed of hydrocarbons . . . The first direct and unambiguous data on their composition was [sic] provided by the infrared radiometer experiment on the Mariner 6 and 7 flybys in 1969, which showed that the temperature of the evaporating edge of the cap corresponded to the vaporisation temperature of carbon dioxide and was incompatible with ...
189. Day Star [Journals] [Aeon]
... ? In the first image, Venus appears superimposed on the disc of the ancient sun-god (Saturn), the circular orb of Venus (in conjunction with Mars) forming the latter's central "eye." (See the cover illustration of AEON V:5 .) The abundant evidence for reconstructing such a phase in the history of the polar configuration has been presented elsewhere. [12] In a subsequent episode, Venus was seen to emit a series of streamers across the face of the ancient sun-god. In one episode, eight "rays" or "spokes" seem to have predominated. It is by reference to this particular phase that we would explain the ancient depictions ...

... has not had time to lose its natal methane. The flat basins are likely to be the depressions etched out by the most energetic and prolonged electric discharge events. They will have sinuous channels, like those seen in the "seas" on the Moon. Storms on Earth are an electrical phenomenon that requires the unique properties of the electrically polarized water molecule. Methane, being non-polar, would mist down to the surface and its erosion properties would not be comparable to rain storms. There was no evidence of a heavy mist at Titan's surface. The Huygens surface penetration experiment (see point 13) can be interpreted as the probe hitting a surface rock before glancing off into the ...
