472. "It Is Hard To Quarrel With Numbers". File I (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... From "Stargazers and Gravediggers" © 1983 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents "It Is Hard To Quarrel With Numbers"THE PERSON WHOM Professor Shapley described in his letter to Macmillan as "one of my colleagues," who is "also a classicist" and would have "a good time" rebutting Velikovsky and his theory, was Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin, an Englishwoman married to a Russian, both astronomers at the Harvard College Observatory. Her piece was written for The Reporter, at that time a new magazine, published by Max Ascoli, looking for sensational material. Weeks before the article appeared in print it was distributed in mimeographed form, bearing the title ...
473. The British Connection [Books] [de Grazia books]
... The British Connection For many years Velikovsky's books had been popular in Britain but his supporters were out of touch. Recalling the early days. Librarian Brian Moore wrote: The popular science writers occupy an important place in the communications system which links the scientist and the public, and they have played a major role in propagating the unfavorable image of Velikovsky. Having been officially declared a heretic by the scientific Inquisition, Velikovsky has been handed over to the secular arm of the scientific popularisers for public torment. Some readers may think this an extravagant metaphor, but any objective examination of the available evidence on the "Affair" will lead to this conclusion. My own interest in Velikovsky stemmed ...
474. The Fracture Zones In Deep Polar Ice Cores [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon III:1 (Nov 1992) Home | Issue Contents The Fracture Zones In Deep Polar Ice Cores Lynn E. Rose The fracture zones or brittle zones that have been found in several deep polar ice cores often appear to straddle- and sometimes even to coincide with- the time period during which Immanuel Velikovsky placed the interplanetary near-collisions that he described in Worlds in Collision (1950). That time period extended back from nearly 2700 years ago to nearly 3500 years ago; the principal events that Velikovsky described were two near-collisions between Earth and Venus in the middle of the second millennium, and several near-collisions between Earth and Mars in the eighth and early seventh centuries ...
475. Apollo of the Wolf, the Mouse and the Serpent [Journals] [Kronos]
... gods which had been established there before him. Even at Delphi, which was sacred to Apollo, he is seen to replace a series of gods which had formerly been worshipped at the site.(2 ) These facts, along with material presented below, strongly suggest an astral identity for Apollo other than the Sun. According to Immanuel Velikovsky, the planet Mars first became prominent in the eighth century before the present era; and, following the scenario presented in Worlds in Collision, that planet's series of near collisions with Earth were instrumental in settling the Solar System into its present order. Significantly, it was not until the fifth century B.C . that Apollo acquired ...
476. ABC's of Astrophysics [Books] [de Grazia books]
... Contents CHAPTER TEN ABC's of Astrophysics In his journal of January 12, 1968, Deg writes of a conversation with Professor Lloyd Motz of Columbia University, the same who had called the attention of scientists to Velikovsky's successful predictions of Jupiter's radio noises and Venus' high heat: Motz turned out to be a cheerful sort, full of admiration for Velikovsky, but of course entirely convinced that the laws of gravitation and thermodynamics are much more positive proof against Velikovsky than are some historical events of which Velikovsky may have proof positive. (. .. ) Motz is going, obviously, by deduction from laws that he regards as immutable. He feels simply that, whatever the historical evidence ...

Hewsen, Professor of History at Glassboro State College. The subheadings were added by the editor, who wishes to express his thanks to Malcolm Lowery for the valuable assistance he gave in the preparation ...
478. Velikovsky's Mythology, Accepting the Premise... [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... "Accepting the premise that the major gods have an astronomical origin... '( 1 ) seems to be the assumption underlying many recent articles in WORKSHOP.(2 ) Yet it is a premise which, unlike many of Velikovsky's well-considered and logically formulated ideas, was rather pulled out of a hat'. In WORLDS IN COLLISION Velikovsky simply expressed the opinion, backed up by those of one or two others, that catastrophic events are more likely to instigate a myth-making process than everyday events.(3 ) Certainly it is likely that earth-shaking disasters would do just that, and there is ample evidence within mythology for just such an occurrence. However, to state that ...

We hope to continue to present articles that will receive your active reaction and involvement. We owe a great deal to the theories of Dr. Velikovsky. However, we hope to go beyond the theories and continue discussions unhampered by restraints. In this issue we have articles that question and challenge his historical theories. Yet all of us owe him a great debt for his work in placing the Exodus at the end of the Middle Kingdom of Egypt. In fact, recently in the ...
