... had a more attentive reading, a wider circulation, or more diligent investigation than the Old Testament. R. H. PFEIFFER, Introduction to the Old Testament PART I Venus CHAPTER 1 The Most Incredible Story THE MOST incredible story of miracles is told about Joshua ben Nun, who, when pursuing the Canaanite kings at Beth-horon, implored the sun and the moon to stand still. "And he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon. And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the ...
192. Scientists Discover Massive Jet Streams Flowing Inside the Sun [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]

August 31, 1997 Scientists Discover Massive Jet Streams Flowing Inside the Sun Donald Savage, Headquarters, Washington, DC. August 28, 1997 (Phone: 202/358-1547). Bill Steigerwald, Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, MD (Phone: 301/286-8955) RELEASE: 97-184 Scientists using the joint European Space Agency (ESA)/NASA Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) spacecraft have discovered "jet streams" or "rivers" of hot, electrically charged gas called plasma flowing beneath the surface of the Sun. They also ...
193. Prologue: The Good Earth (Mankind in Amnesia) [Velikovsky]
... From "Mankind in Amnesia" © 1982 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents Prologue: The Good Earth It has been immensely difficult for the mind of man to part with the conviction that his Earth is immovable and in the center of Creation, thus in the center of the system to which the Sun, the Moon and the planets belong, and in which the stars are without a clear purpose or design. It is possible that the dogmatic opposition to the heliocentric system of the universe would not have been so complete and adamant were it known that though the Earth is not located in the center of the system, it occupies the preferred position and possesses ...
194. The Circularisation of Planetary Orbits [Journals] [SIS Review]
... In trying to explain an observed gradual secular (i .e ., non-periodic) increase in the moon's orbital period, Van Flandern puts an upper limit of an increase of about 17 parts in 10^11 per year for the combined effect on the moon's period of various miscellaneous phenomena, including tidal friction, loss of matter from the sun, the gravitational action of possible undiscovered planets or passing comets and asteroids, the impact of meteorites, the solar wind, the radiation pressure of sunlight, electromagnetic forces, and drag from the interplanetary medium. Evidently the effect of this sort of thing on orbital motions is negligible, at least as far as current knowledge is concerned. ...
195. The Solar System as a Binary [Books] [de Grazia books]
... | Issue Contents Part One: ORIGIN AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE BINARY SYSTEM CHAPTER ONE The Solar System as a Binary Contrary to the hypothesis that the Solar System was born as and has evolved as a single star system, it is here claimed that the Solar System was and is a binary system. The binary system was formed when the primitive Sun fissioned. Several planets were generated in the neck of the fissioning pair and co-revolved about the Sun synchronously with the companion (see Figure 1). The remaining planets were generated, one or more at a time, in several episodes, as the companion became unstable because of a changing galactic environment which we will discuss in Chapter Three ...
196. The Saturn Thesis (Part 2) [Journals] [Aeon]
... : I've used the phrase Radiant Venus for a wide-range of mythical and symbolic images suggesting a sphere in the center of a much larger sphere, with luminous streamers radiating out from that smaller sphere across the face of the larger one. The larger sphere is the ancient sun-god, Saturn; the smaller one is Venus, the eye-heart-soul of the sun god. Conven-tionally, these particular wide-ranging pic-tographs are identified as a family of sun signs, which should not surprise us. It needs to be emphasized, however, that there is a provable relationship between these pictographs and the dominant mythical traditions, something virtually never considered in the conventional treatments of the subject. Yet, once observed, ...
197. The Milky Way [Journals] [Aeon]
... no making sense of 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 ...
198. The Electro-gravitic Theory Of Celestial Motion [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... were not known to science. The subject deserves to be discussed in detail and quantitatively. All that I would venture to say at this time and in this place is the following: The accepted celestial mechanics, notwithstanding the many calculations that have been carried out to many decimal places, or verified by celestial motions, stands only if the Sun, the source of light, warmth, and other radiation produced by fusion and fission of atoms, is as a whole an electrically neutral body, and also if the planets, in their usual orbits, are neutral bodies. "Fundamental principles in celestial mechanics, including the law of gravitation, must come into question if the Sun ...

... the sky .. . heaven's midst." (5 ) It is said to "float like a cloud in the midst of the sky." (6 ) In constructing the earthbound copy of the temple above, states Jastrow, the Babylonians strove to make both the exterior and interior "resplendent with brilliant colouring- brilliant as the sun. ' (7 ) " The purpose is clear: to imbue the local temple with a lustre matching that of the prototype. Symbolically, the local temple takes on the radiance of the celestial, becoming the "house of light," "house of the brilliant precinct," or "lofty and brilliant wall"; " ...
200. Is Gravity Necessary? (A Response to Charles Ginenthal's Electro-Gravitic Theory) [Journals] [Aeon]
... some of the parameters of a solution and distributed them to friends under the title "10-36 = 0." In this pamphlet I proposed that gravity is better explained as the result of opposing electrical repulsions than as an attraction between masses. I assumed, as Ralph Juergens had earlier [" Plasma in Interplanetary Space"], that the Sun and the planets possess net negative electrical charges. Juergens considered that an aether-like sea of cosmic charges impinged upon the Sun just as a surrounding "electron-sea" was once seen to keep conductive electrons within a wire carrying an electrical current. Juergens' work led me to the extensive set of papers about astronomy written by Charles Bruce in which ...
