... in Worlds in Collision, and, if the hue and cry against that first book is any indication of how the intelligentsia respond to revolutionary concepts, one may possibly fathom how much greater will be the outcry against this book, which is based on the supposition that the great Noachian deluge was a reality. It was thus, according to Velikovsky in his Introduction, "preferable to start from the better known [catastrophe] and then proceed to the less known." What Velikovsky meant, of course, was to begin with the better documented catastrophes, especially Venus and Mars, and then to those that came earlier, namely, the Great Saturnian debacle. But he also ...
222. In Memoriam: Immanuel Velikovsky, Livio Stecchini and Ralph Juergens [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... From: Catastrophism and Ancient History II:2 (Jun 1980) Home | Issue Contents In Memoriam: Immanuel Velikovsky, Livio Stecchini and Ralph Juergens Immanuel Velikovsky Dr. Immanuel Velikovsky died last November. Unlike his friends Albert Einstein and Sigmund Freud, Dr. Velikovsky went to his grave deprived of plaudits from his peers. It is my belief that he was, indeed, the last true Renaissance man: his genius will be recognized after his death even more than the famous painters of the nineteenth century. Of course, Dr. Velikovsky's problem, more than innovative painters, was that he too was far ahead of his time. It is hard to pick out his ...
... From: Recollections of a Fallen Sky, Edited by Earl R. Milton Home | Issue Contents Appendix II. Honourary Degree Awarded to Immanual Velikovsky On 19 March 1973 the General Faculties Council of the University of Lethbridge passed a motion unanimously recommending "that Immanuel Velikovsky be granted an Honourary Degree Doctor of Arts and Science at the Spring Convocation of 1974". This motion was forwarded to the Senate of the University for consideration. At the Senate meeting, held on 7 April 1973, the recommendation from General Faculties Council was approved and the Senate voted unanimously to award Immanuel Velikovsky the degree Doctor of Arts and Science, Honoris Causa. In this appendix are letters and addresses relevant ...
224. Sagan's Appendices: A Quick Appendectomy [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. III No. 2 (Winter 1977) "Velikovsky and Establishment Science" Home | Issue Contents Sagan's Appendices: A Quick Appendectomy C. J. Ransom I At the 1974 AAAS meeting, Carl Sagan claimed that the odds against the events occurring in the Solar System, as described by Velikovsky, were 1023 to 1. This figure was widely quoted in the scientific and popular literature as "proof' that the events did not happen; it was also taken on faith since no statistical verification was ever provided. The mathematical support for 1023 to 1 was supposed to be found in an appendix to the text that Sagan gave to the press. ...
225. A Call To Action [Journals] [Pensee]
... From: Pensée Vol. 2 No 3: (Fall 1972) "Immanuel Velikovsky Reconsidered II" Home | Issue Contents A Call To Action Joseph May The following is excerpted from remarks which Dr. May delivered at the Velikovsky Symposium, Lewis and Clark College, August 18, 1972: The time has come for all those who believe that Immanuel Velikovsky has something to say to the scientific and academic world in general, to depart from a defensive attitude, stand up, be counted, and insist that he be heard. With the publication of the May issue of Pensée, the Velikovsky hypothesis has been subjected to ventilation in a major way for the first time in ...
226. Untitled [Books]
... From: Recollections of a Fallen Sky, Edited by Earl R. Milton Home | Issue Contents Shakespeare and Velikovsky: Catastrophic Theory and the Springs of Art Irving Wolfe Etudes Anglaises Université de Montreal *[ Ed.] Parts of this paper were subsequently published in Kronos: A journal of Interdisciplinary Synthesis, (Kronos Press, Glassboro, N.J .) see 1(3 ): 31-45 (Fall 1975) and 1(4 ): 37-54 (Winter 1976). I must begin with several caveats. First, I do not present these findings as a closed and substantiated set of hypotheses. They are suggestions put forth for discussion, not conclusions, but ...
227. Historical Forum [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... terms the method of structural analysis' as against the heuristic method'. Although it way be an over simplification to categorise all the revisionist thinkers in the latter category, I was pleased to see this support for Velikovsky's theses as contained in Ramses II' and Peoples of the Sea' since by demonstration the convergence of so many probabilities, Velikovsky would seem to have such a strong case that the onus of proving a contrary case must lie with the revisionists. In order, then, to demonstrate that Velikovsky's equations: Ramses II = Necho and Ramses III = Nectanebo are invalid, the obstacles against these equations must surely be proved beyond all doubt. Consequently, disclaiming all pretence ...
228. On That BBC Film [Journals] [Pensee]
... From: Pensée Vol. 3 No 3: (Fall 1973) "Immanuel Velikovsky Reconsidered V" Home | Issue Contents On That BBC Film The public still awaits an adequate film treatment of Velikovsky and his work. Controversy never lags far behind Velikovsky or the public discussion of his work, and the BBC documentary, "Worlds in Collision," has proved no exception. Velikovsky himself felt mocked by the show, which he viewed as a tragedy of misrepresentation. Yet, to one of his detractors in England the program was an "act of homage" to the one-time heretic. A leading British scientist wrote to producer Brian Gibson: "Your program- was the most ...
229. The Great Comet Venus [Journals] [Aeon]
... did the curious but immensely powerful Venus image arise? And how does one account for many parallel symbols of Venus around the world? In myths the world over, Venus is the only planet consistently identified as a female power, but there is no acceptable reason for this, and on such issues historians and mythologists are prudently silent. Immanuel Velikovsky In 1950, Immanuel Velikovsky unleashed an international controversy with the publication of his book Worlds in Collision. (2 ) Very quickly the book became the nation's number one best seller, stirring at the same time a vitriolic reaction by established science. In a heavily documented presentation, Velikovsky argued that the planet Venus, only a few thousand ...
