... From: Pensée Vol. 3 No 1: (Winter 1973) "Immanuel Velikovsky Reconsidered III" Home | Issue Contents The Orbits of Venus C. J. Ransom and L. H. Hoffee Copyright 1972 by C. J. Ransom and L. H. Hoffee Dr. Ransom is a plasma physicist at the Electro-optics and Reconnaissance Group of General Dynamics, Convair Aerospace Division, Fort Worth, Texas. Hoffee is an optical engineer. In 1950, Immanuel Velikovsky suggested that several orbital changes had occurred among members of the solar system (1 ). These changes resulted in near-collisions between celestial bodies and a reordering of the solar system. In the following paragraphs, ...
72. Venus And Sirius [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. VI No. 1 (Fall 1980) Home | Issue Contents Venus And Sirius Jan N. Sammer The Greek version of the Canopus Decree speaks of the rising of the star of Isis ( to astron to tes Isios ) as marking the beginning of the new year; the hieratic and hieroglyphic versions, however, assign the same role to Sothis, or Sirius.(1 ) Velikovsky, on the authority of Pliny,(2 ) identifies the star of Isis as the planet Venus(3 ) and explains that both Venus and Sirius had a role in the Egyptian calendar, the real purpose of the Decree being to make the calendar independent ...
73. Planetary Observations of the T'ang Dynasty [Journals] [SIS Review]
... astronomers such as Clube have suggested that periodic terrestrial encounters with meteoric maelstroms - perhaps engendered by comets - have induced such catastrophes. In my researches of astronomical observations of the time, I have found evidence that may suggest other scenarios. Here, I will introduce a significant portion of this evidence anomalous observations of Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Venus, and Mercury made during the Tang Dynasty in China (618 AD - 906 AD). To my knowledge, no one has yet compared these observations with retrocalculated positions of the planets, or critically analysed them. These observations appear in Edward H. Schafer's Pacing The Void , Tang Approaches To The Stars, University of California Press ...
74. William H. Stiebing, Jr., and Immanuel Velikovsky [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... . (2 ) Their scientific attack is presented to indicate the way in which scientists have analyzed Velikovsky's work and the clear reasoning behind their rejection of his catastrophic hypothesis. PROBABILITY THEORY Stiebing states that the vast majority of scientists continue to reject Velikovsky's theory. Their objections center on the improbability of a number of such collisions [between the protoplanet Venus on a cometary orbit with the Earth] occurring within historical times.... Carl Sagan, a well-known astronomer, has argued that the odds against a comet grazing the Earth in any given millennium are 30,000 to 1, [actually he raised the odds to 30,000,000 to 1] and that the ...
... Velikovsky's historical and legendary evidence in a field in which he possesses little or no training. This, on the face of it, seems quite incredible. Let us therefore proceed to Sagan's historical and legendary material. What must be pointed out before proceeding though is that the fundamental legend that Velikovsky cited as evidence is the legend of the planet Venus as the cause of a world-wide catastrophe. Velikovsky found this legend telling of the same events among all of the major and minor ancient cultures. One would naturally expect Sagan to attack this evidence most forcefully. Diffusion or common observation According to Sagan there are four ways in which the same (Venus) legend would be found among widely ...
76. Worship Of The Morning Star, Part 1 Venus Ch.9 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... From "Worlds in Collision" © 1950 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents Worship Of The Morning Star Now that it has been shown it was Venus which, at an interval of fifty-two years, caused two cosmic catastrophes in the fifteenth century before the present era, we understand also the different historical connections between Venus and these catastrophes. In numerous biblical and rabbinical passages it is said that when the Israelites went from Mount Sinai into the desert, they were covered by clouds. These clouds were illuminated by the pillar of fire, so that they gave a pale light.(35) With this should be connected a statement of Isaiah: "The people ...
77. Velikovsky and his Critics by Shane Mage [Books]
... we have here something on the order of a formal debate between authoritative exponents of theses in diametric opposition, each side proclaiming that its presentation is a conclusive demonstration of the validity of its view as to our solar system's history in the second and first millennia BCE. Velikovsky maintains that before 687 BCE the Earth, Moon, Mars, and Venus moved on or bits different from their present orbits; that before the 15th Century Venus was a comet-like proto-planet with a highly elliptical orbit stretching nearly to that of Jupiter (from which planet it had been ejected a few millennia, at most, earlier); that in the 15th Century Venus twice came close enough to the Earth/ ...
78. The Garden of Venus [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon VI:6 (Dec 2001) Home | Issue Contents The Garden of Venus Ev Cochrane The greatest goddess of the ancient Iranians was known as Anahita. Alternately described as a warrior, agent of fertility, and granter of glory or "strength" to heroes, Anahita was truly a goddess for all seasons. Her intimate association with kingship made the goddess a permanent fixture of investiture rituals. [1 ] Under the auspices of the Persian empire, Anahita's cult became disseminated across much of Asia Minor. [2 ] The most complete description of the goddess is that found in the fifth Yasht of the Avesta, the sacred book of the Iranians. There ...
79. Venus and the Jubilee [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon III:1 (Nov 1992) Home | Issue Contents Venus and the Jubilee Bernard Newgrosh In Worlds in Collision, Dr. Velikovsky described the fifty-two year period of Venus observed in pre-Columbian Mexico. Every fifty-second year they watched in trepidation for the return of Venus, they offered human sacrifices, and when Venus had passed safely without cataclysm they ushered in the new cycle with bonfires. (1 ) He compared this fifty-two year cycle with the fifty year "jubilee" of the Israelites, a cycle in which the land was left fallow for a second consecutive year as an "atonement"- an atonement which is emphasized by its proclamation on the Day of ...
80. The Thermal Equations Of Venus [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... From: SIS Workshop Vol 3 No 4 (Apr 1981) Home | Issue Contents The Thermal Equations Of Venus Eric Crew A useful elementary introduction to the subject of heat balance of planets is included in ATMOSPHERES by R.M . Goody and J.G .C . Walker (Prentice-Hall, 1972). Some of the quoted values have been modified in the light of subsequent observations, which will be noted later. Planets absorb heat from the Sun and lose heat by radiation into space. Some of the solar heat is reflected back to space by an amount depending on the albedo of the planet. Earth's albedo is 0.33, so the solar heat absorbed ...
