... From "Worlds in Collision" © 1950 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents The Origin Of The Planetary System All theories of the origin of the planetary system and the motive forces that sustain the motion of its members go back to the gravitational theory and the celestial mechanics of Newton. The sun attracts the planets, and if it were not for a second urge, they would fall into the sun; but each planet is impelled by its momentum to proceed in a direction away from the sun, and as a result, an orbit is formed. Similarly, a satellite or a moon is subject to an urge that drives it away from its primary, ...
52. Mother Goddess and Warrior-Hero (Part One) [Journals] [Aeon]
... I:5 (Sep 1988) Home | Issue Contents Mother Goddess and Warrior-Hero (Part One)David Talbott The necessary emphasis on the planet Saturn in much of the prior discussion of the polar configuration has perhaps created a false impression that must now be corrected. Because the myths present Saturn as the "first father"- the central sun and creator who originally stood "alone" in the sky- that planet is the logical focus of any attempt to present the configuration. At the same time this can be misleading, by suggesting that the other planetary gods have only minor roles, which is not the case at all. With the growing speculation on physical models of ...

54. Setting And Using The Stonehenge Nineteen Year Sun-Moon Calendar [Journals] [Horus]
... Before reading the instructions below the reader is advised to study Figure 1 carefully. Notice that it has been aligned to conform to map conventions (North at top of page). When day and night are of equal length in Spring and Fall (March 21st and September 21st) sunrise will occur along the East-West line. Notice that the Sun rises North of East during the Spring and Summer, and South of East during the Fall and Winter. Its daily movement along the horizon comes to a stop and reverses direction at the Summer Solstice (June 21st), and Winter Solstice (December 21st), the longest and shortest days of the year. The solstices marked the ...
55. Chapter I: The Worship of the Sun and the Dawn [Books]
... Chapter I The Worship of the Sun and the Dawn WHEN we inquire among which early peoples we are likely to find the first cultivation of astronomy, whatever the form it may have taken, we learn that it is generally agreed by archaeologists that the first civilisations which have so far been traced were those in the Nile Valley and in the adjacent countries in Western Asia. The information which we possess concerning these countries has been obtained from the remains of their cities, of their temples- even, in the case of Babylonia, of their observatories and of the records of their observations. Of history on papyrus we have relatively little. Not so early as these, but ...
56. Velikovsky's Sources Volume Four [Books]
... Assyro- Babylonian legends tell of the fight between Tiamut, a huge monster of forbidding aspect, embodying primeval chaos, and Marduk, a solar deity. As Professor Morris Jastrow suggests, the myth is based upon the annual phenomenon witnessed in Babylonia when the whole valley is flooded. At this time, storms sweep across the plains and the sun is obscured. A conflict is going on between the waters and the storms on the one hand, and the sun on the other; but the latter is finally victorious, for Marduk subdues Tiamat and triumphantly marches across the heavens from one end to the other as general overseer." Let us now briefly consider an argument put forward ...
57. The AAAS Symposium on Velikovsky [Books]
... of Pensée containing the article "Velikovsky Reconsidered," and thus suggested, "Perhaps the AAAS could be interested in holding a symposium on scientific logic using the Velikovsky case as a specific study. Perhaps the symposium should be narrowed down . . . . For example, one might take the matter of Velikovsky's arguments regarding electrical charges on the sun and in the planetary system . . . . "In any event, I do agree with the editors . . . [of Pensée] that the public deserves a better assessment of the validity of Velikovsky's work than it has received to date . . . ." (2 ) Talbott replied, "We are quite pleased with ...
58. The Solar System as Electrical [Books] [de Grazia books]
... From: Solaria Binaria, by Alfred De Grazia and Earl R. Milton Home | Issue Contents CHAPTER TWO The Solar System as Electrical The Sun, as star, radiates energy into the space surrounding it. Stars can be conceived to have originated from electrical cavities in the structure of space. Space, to our mind, is an infinite electrical medium. It is electrical in that it is everywhere occupied by a charge, which, when it moves, assumes the character of electrons, that is, "negative" charge (see Note B). The movement energizes and carries material into the cavities which become and are the stars. Such electrical cavities or stars are ...
59. The Saturn Problem [Journals] [SIS Review]
... and even as a sun-like object of dazzling splendour. Saturn's importance to the ancients forms the centrepiece of one of the most baffling mysteries of ancient astronomy, history and religion. Within the pantheons or families of deities worshipped by our ancestors, the gods and goddesses of the planets often held the highest positions, ranking even above those of the Sun, Moon and Earth. Why? The situation is certainly contrary to what one might expect: the Sun is, after all, the most conspicuous object in the heavens and its role as the giver of light, heat, and life itself is only too obvious. To assume that even prehistoric people did not appreciate the vital importance ...
60. Response to Slabinski [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon III:6 (Dec 1994) Home | Issue Contents Response to Slabinski Robert Grubaugh The principal feature of the proposed Polar Configuration model as described in AEON III:3 is that the line-up or "stack" of planets, Saturn, Venus, Mars, and Earth orbit the planet Jupiter synchronously with Jupiter's orbit around the Sun. The distances between the planets and the distance between Jupiter and the Sun were calculated on the basis of equilibrium of the gravitational and "centrifugal" forces consistent with the selected synchronous condition. In the mathematically-defined configuration, the angular velocity of each of the planets revolving in the Jovian system is equal, so they do not depart from ...
