... maintaining that the solar system contains one more planet than those that are generally recognized or for claiming that human civilization was brought to Earth by ancient astronauts. What I do object to is his disingenuous failure to acknowledge the fact that he has forerunners on both scores. In the 1840's, Urbain Leverrier observed a small planet between Mercury and the sun which he named Vulcan. Although 20th century astronomers believe that Vulcan was an illusion, the legend of a forgotten or imperceptible planet has been kept alive by science fiction writers and survives in countless television scripts. And, in the 1960's, a series of writers - beginning with Robert Charroux and ranging through Louis Pauwels, Jacques Bergier, ...
262. The Origin of the Comets, Prologue Ch.1 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... orbits,(1 ) no scheme has been developed that explains the origin of the solar system in its entirety, with its planets and comets; yet no cosmic theory can persist which limits itself to the problem of either planets or comets exclusively. One theory sees in the comets errant cosmic bodies arriving from interstellar space. After approaching the sun, they turn away on an open (parabolic) curve. But if they happen to pass close to one of the larger planets, they may be compelled to change their open curves to ellipses and become comets of short period.(2 ) This is the theory of capture: comets of long periods or of no period are ...
... it gives, for the amplitude of the temple of Isis at right angles to the Hathor temple, 18 ½ S. of E. Now, it is stated distinctly in the inscriptions that "the place of the birth of Isis is to the north-west of the temple of Hathor, its portal is turned to the east, and the sun shines on its portal when it rises to illuminate the world." [1 ] We learn from this that the small temple was locally celebrated as the birthplace of Isis. It is, then, a temple of Isis. Who was Isis? Let us begin by considering the temple, remarking that the inscriptions, apparently relating to ...
264. The Velikovsky Affair [Books] [de Grazia books]
... observations provided no evidence. '[ 2 ]. Velikovsky was confident that this evidence would be found, and it has been found. There is reasonable ground to hope that the new investigation which takes electric charges and magnetic fields into account will, first of all, succeed in explaining the behaviour of comets especially in the proximity of the Sun. The current explanation, according to which the pressure of solar light drives a cometary tail as a rigid rod at enormous velocities when the head is close to the perihelium, is not much more satisfactory than the one proposed by Newton when he said that the tails of comets turn away from the Sun for the same reason that the ...
265. An Evaluation of the Practical Operation of the Stonehenge Calendar [Journals] [Kronos]
... , in presenting his theory of the calendric capability of this ancient stone edifice, he, quite naturally, emphasizes the sophisticated line-ups of the three marker stones at each quarter period of the 19-year cycle, while glossing over the meticulous intercalation of 7 lunations and extra days necessary to keep the Stonehenge calendar chronologically aligned with the orbiting relationships of the Sun and the Moon throughout the entire 19-year cycle. This detailed operation of the calendar attracted my attention, and I offer the following as a workable method of keeping the calendar on track. Let us study first the Aubrey Sun Circle, which, as Wall has shown, tracks the solar year by counting off 28-day solar "months" ...
266. Father Kugler's Falling Star [Journals] [Kronos]
... a central point; Mesopotamia being known for the antiquity of its mathematical knowledge, this was chosen as its place of origin.(4 ) It is of relevance to Velikovsky's theories that Venus is given a major place in establishing the similarity of these mythologies: she is known as "Queen of Heaven"; she is classified with the Sun and Moon, not with the planets; and she is observed to have phases, like the Moon. Kugler's broadside against the Panbabylonists was published in 1910 under the title Im Bannkreis Babels: Panbabylonistische Konstraktionen und religionsgeschichtliche Tatsachen (Under the Spell of Babel: Panbabylonist Constructions and Facts from the History of Religion). In 1907 Fr Kugler ...
267. Thoth Vol IV, No. 1: Jan 15, 2000 [Journals] [Thoth]
... and this time is the domain of right and wrong. It would be wrong to insist on using a slide rule to direct Galileo around Jupiter's moons. Just so, it's wrong for Established Science to refuse to look at Arp's findings of quantized intrinsic redshifts. Just so, it's wrong to overlook Juergen's insights into the electrical nature of the sun. It's wrong to ignore Alfven's admonition that plasmas don't behave the way theoreticians believe and that there are large-scale currents in space. It's wrong to dismiss the Saturn Theory as "merely myth" in blind defiance of the intelligibility in the data. Turning a deaf ear, a blind eye, and a closed mind to this astronomical mass ...
268. Phaėthon, Part 1 Venus Ch.7 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... From "Worlds in Collision" © 1950 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents Phaėthon The Greeks as well as the Carians and other peoples on the shores of the Aegean Sea told of a time when the sun was driven off its course and disappeared for an entire day, and the earth was burned and drowned. The Greek legend says that the young Phaėthon, who claimed parentage of the sun, on that fatal day tried to drive the chariot of the sun. Phaėthon was unable to make his way "against the whirling poles," and "their swift axis" swept him away. Phaėthon in Greek means "the blazing one." Many authors ...
269. The Calendar [Journals] [Aeon]
... maintained that, during the period up to 747-687 B.C ., the year consisted of 360 days and that subsequently the year changed to approximately 365.25 days per year. He quotes from a substantial number of ancient sources for his argument. His agent for this significant change to the orbital period of the Earth's travels around the Sun was the planet Mars. Velikovsky maintained that Mars caused disruptions on a 15-year cycle. One of the more famous disruptions resulted in the destruction of Sennacherib's army outside the walls of Jerusalem in 687 B.C . More specifically, Velikovsky calculated that, by present reckoning, this event occurred on the night of March 23rd. [1 ...
270. Origin And Evolution Of Solar Systems [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... to the discovery of other planetary systems and as we will see, they do not support the current conventional models that explain how the solar system came into being. They, rather flatly, contradict them. There are a few concepts that explain the way the solar system formed. One is that a nebulous cloud which condensed to form the Sun gave rise to the planets as described by Robert S. Richardson. "The solar system originally consisted of a vast disc-shaped mass of gas at high temperature which was rotating slowly in the direction in which the planets now revolve in their orbits. As this mass of gas lost heat by radiating into space, it cooled. As the ...
