... intelligence" or guardian angel to each of the fifty-five celestial spheres to keep it moving at an absolutely uniform rate throughout eternity. The poles of each sphere are attached to and carried around by the sphere outside it, in such a way that rather complicated patterns of motion can be reduced to combinations of uniform circular motions. Each of the seven "planets" (Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Mercury, Venus, the Sun and the Moon) is set like a jewel on the equator of one of the spheres. Each of these planet-bearing spheres is enclosed within layers of other, "unplaneted" spheres. Thus the planets cannot get near each other, any more than ...
462. Nevermore. Ch.4 Poets And Visionaries (Mankind in Amnesia) [Velikovsky]
... soon makes its way into the understanding of even the most stolid. Finally, all men saw that astronomical knowledge lied not, and they awaited the comet. Its approach was not, at first, seemingly rapid; nor was its appearance of very unusual character. It was of a dull red, and had little perceptible train. For seven or eight days we saw no material increase in its apparent diameter, and but a partial alteration in its color. Meanwhile the ordinary affairs of men were discarded, and all interests absorbed in a growing discussion, instituted by the philosophic, in respect to the cometary nature. Even the grossly ignorant aroused their sluggish capacities to such considerations ...

... and contradictory corrections. "Owing to the different and even inconsistent corrections applied to the observed sun-arc displacements, the resulting approximate agreement with the deductions from the Einstein theory fails to carry conviction." (1921 ) (1 ). "Thirty-three photographic plates, taken during the eclipse of 1919, show star images; of these thirty-three, seven only give results even approximating towards the Einstein predictions. And to make these seven fit the hypothesis, the relativist is forced to invoke the aid of the sun to distort the camera in a particular way and by just the right amount!" (1922) (2 ). "Professor Freundlich asserted last night that the American astronomers ...

465. Fire and Ash [Books] [de Grazia books]
... From: The Lately Tortured Earth, by Alfred De Grazia Home | Issue Contents CHAPTER SEVEN Fire and Ash "A universal conflagration' (if possible) would certainly not last long enough to leave any sort of recognizable stratigraphical record, whereas a few centuries or millennia of occasional heath or forest fires, during a particularly dry spell, would probably do so without requiring any special mechanism."[1 ] Even to speak of a universal conflagration gives a geologist cause to blush, as Derek Ager, the author of these lines, remarks in another context. Without the "special mechanism", forest fires, started by lightning, and volcanos, started by hot spots ...
466. Jubilee, Part 1 Venus Ch.8 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... unto you, and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family."(7 ) Ever since, exegetes have laboured over the biblical statement that the jubilee year was to be observed every fiftieth year. The seventh sabbatical year is the forty-ninth year: "And the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be unto thee forty and nine years. . . . And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year."(8 ) To leave the land fallow for two consecutive years was too great a demand and cannot be explained by the need of the soil under cultivation for rest. The festival of the jubilee, with ...
467. Theophany, Part 1 Venus Ch.4 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... (10) Here we can trace the origin of the Pythagorean notion of the "music of the spheres" and the idea that stars make music. In Babylonia the spheres of the planets were called "voices" and they were supposed to produce music.(11) According to Midrashic literature, the trumpet sounding at Mount Sinai had seven different pitches (or notes), and the rabbinical literature speaks of "the heavenly music" heard at the revelation. "At the first sound the sky and the earth moved, the seas and the rivers turned to flight, mountains and hills were loosened in their foundations."(12) Homer depicts a similar occurrence in ...

... ago the deserts glowed with the beacons of many volcanoes, mountains melted, and lava flowed over the ground from numerous fissures. The celestial body that the great Architect of nature sent close to the earth, made contact with it in electrical discharges, retreated, and approached again. If we are to believe the Scriptural data, there elapsed seven weeks, or by another computation, about two months(8 ) from the day of the Exodus to the day of the revelation at Mount Sinai. "There were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that was in the camp ...

... of fire-rain I have cited actually have deposits of oil: Mexico, the East Indies, Siberia, Iraq, and Egypt. For a span of time after the combustive fluid poured down, it may well have floated upon the surface of the seas, soaked the surface of the ground, and caught fire again and again. "For seven winters and summers the fire has raged . . . it has burnt up the earth," narrate the Voguls of Siberia.(12) The story of the wandering in the desert contains a number of references to fire springing out of the earth. The Israelites travelled three days' journey away from the Mountain of the lawgiving, ...

... the deviations of Lagash's theoretical orbit but would eventually get in the way of a sun. Calculations are quickly made which indicate "that the eclipse Will occur only when the arrangement of the suns is such that Beta [one of the suns] is alone in its hemisphere and at maximum distance. The eclipse that results, with the moon seven times the apparent diameter of Beta, covers all of Lagash and lasts well over half a day, so that no spot on the planet escapes the effects. That eclipse comes once every two thousand and forty-nine years. (p . 11 ) " A reporter named Theremon learns of this unusual phenomenon during an interview with Sheerin, a ...
