... thunderbolts between the various bodies, one can imagine unusual aurora-like effects associated with the periodic formation and excitation of the Birkeland currents moving along the polar axis. What, then, does the mythical record reveal about the possible role of electrical forces? The abundant traditions involving the thundergod and the generation of lightning offer a particularly relevant test of the Saturn theory: Will they conform with the stereotypical experience of thunderstorms in the current Solar System, or will they point instead to the radically different conditions which formerly prevailed within the polar configuration? A UNIVERSAL ARCHETYPE Virtually every culture has preserved memory of a thundergod, a towering and tumultuous figure whose modus operandi is the generation of lightning and the ...
... . McCrea, who at the time was President of the Roval Astronomical Society, published a theoretical argument that no planet could originally have formed from a solar nebula any closer to the Sun than the orbit of,Jupiter. 1 Later J. G. Hills attempted to show that no planet could initially have formed outside the orbit of' Saturn.2 Between the appearances of these papers, H. Alfven, who later received the Nobel Prize in physics, theorized that the giant planets may have been formed before the "terrestrial (smaller) 3 planets. He also presented arguments for the inverse order of' events. Either way, within a very few years at least ...

... in an earlier time when it was much brighter and could indeed have been seen in broad daylight. Keep in mind that, at present, although it disappears as the sky lightens, Venus is very bright when it first appears on the horizon. The epithet "Day Star" may once have signified the radiant Venus across the face of Saturn, but not, I would suggest, in any of the quotations that Cochrane gives us here. Ev Cochrane replies: In the paper in question, I discussed several epithets widely applied to Venus which are difficult to reconcile with the current Solar System and which seem to point to conditions formerly prevailing during the period dominated by the polar ...

... Chaldean archives and the Chaldean remains of the Neo-Babylonian Empire. Volume 5 ' Peoples of the Sea ' Due 1975 The period of Persian supremacy beginning in 525 B.C . and ending in 332 B.C . with the conquest of Egypt by Alexander, then the remaining period of Alexander's life. Sequel to Worlds in Collision - ' Saturn and the Flood ' No date Deals with the initial catastrophe in the sequence which Velikovsky has reconstructed. A near collision between Jupiter and Saturn lead to the disruption of Saturn. The absorption of material from Saturn rendered Jupiter unstable and lead to the fission from Jupiter of the proto-planet Venus. IN PREPARATION VELIKOVSKY, I. ' Before the ...
... of their origin. We find them, however, especially cromlechs, in various distant parts of the earth, and what is most strange about it is that almost without exception they are non-existent in those very sites attributed to the early Bible and Greek peoples who erected sacred stones and altars to their gods, particularly to three among them, Saturn, Hercules, and Hermes. Furthermore the wide distribution of these un-hewn stones indicates the movements of the race which erected these characteristic monuments and points to the prehistoric activities of an adventurous and a maritime people who sailed far distances in ships which dared the Oceans. This same race, in a period which I believe was long antediluvian, ...

337. Running Rings Round The Giants [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... From: SIS Workshop Vol 3 No 2 (Oct 1980) Home | Issue Contents Running Rings Round The Giants by R. M. Lowery In the last two years the planet Saturn has suffered an unenviable fate. It has been found not to be unique after all. Long supposed to be the only body in the solar system - possibly in the cosmos - to possess a ring, it has now been joined (since 1977) by Uranus and - as a result of Voyager 1's curiosity - by Jupiter. A propos this latter finding, Terence Dickinson writes in Phenomena II.5 , 1978: "The discovery resulted from a routine photograph, that was planned ...
338. The New Solar System: Selected Criticisms [Journals] [Kronos]
... 5 billion years, the Sun has yet to complete one circuit. This implies that the Milky Way is much larger than normally reckoned. Since that paper implicitly equates an age of 45 million years with one of 4.5 billion years, its internal consistency, not to mention its merit, is highly questionable. The author claims that Saturn is younger than Jupiter because "Saturn produces more internal heat for its size than does Jupiter". However, this conclusion ignores an important, well-known point. The flattening of Saturn, as measured by Voyager, indicates that Saturn's greater excess heat comes from gravitational separation of helium from hydrogen. Therefore, it follows that Saturn is as ...

... asteroids and therefore we have been sampling a planet composed as the Earth is supposedly composed, with iron and nickel core, sima mantle, and sial crust. Calculations, given this simple idea, are complex but not enough. There is too much evidence of exoterrestrial dumping upon Earth by other bodies, more of the nature of Jupiter and Saturn, to carry out this algebra of ratios with confidence. Generally, "terrestrial" iron bodies are distinguishable in composition from meteoritic iron in that they contain either smaller amounts of nickel (about 3 per cent) or larger amounts (about 35 per cent). The meteoroids also contain some cobalt. The distinction is hardly foolproof. ...
