... savoir si une cause est effective (actual), si ce n'est en cherchant A Yobserver en action. de nos jours?". "Et ainsi s'explique que les traducteurs francais alent pu. sans déformer gravement sa penss6e, traduire actual par actuel" (author's italics). But TRICART and CAILLEUX are in error: LYELL did not write actual causes', he wrote present causes', modern causes', causes now in operation'. The French translators of the time quite correctly rendered this as causes actuelles', or causes actuellement actives'. 7 As far as I could find, LYELL in the Principles used the word actual' in the sense of present ...
642. Bookshelf [Journals] [SIS Review]
... a concentration effect to be achieved. Eventually, such protocells could evolve into fully-living cells. Folsome discusses possible mechanisms for this, including ways in which the links between proteins in nucleic acids in genetic expression might have originated. He also gives fair mention to other orthodox theories of overcoming the concentration problem and of cell formation, at all times writing with clarity and evident enthusiasm. Those interested in the subject of the origin of life are advised to read the unorthodox theories of Hoyle and Wickramasinghe as well as the more orthodox views of Folsome and others, and then make up their own minds about the relative merits of the various theories. References 1. For a detailed discussion of ...
643. Introduction (Peoples of the Sea) [Velikovsky]
... Age of Greece, The Assyrian Conquest, Ramses II and His Time, and Peoples of the Sea, could explain why no book by me appeared between 1961 and 1977. In apology I could draw attention to the new version of the Cambridge Ancient History, which took many years to produce, occupied a great number of scholars, each writing a separate chapter, an undertaking well funded and supplied with editors and secretariat, whereas I worked alone and had to fund my own work in research and writing; and the armada of scholars rewriting the Cambridge Ancient History did not innovate and radically change the history whereas it fell to my task to do exactly this. Such a comparison ...
644. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Planet- was there such in the British press when the Geo. Allen & Unwin edition was released in 1977? FRANK C. TRIBBE Penn Laird, Virginia, USA (Review mentioned above reprinted here) 12th PLANET by ZECHARIA SITCHIN SITCHIN'S background is not given by the publisher, but the author claims thirty years of research went into this writing - and that is believable in view of a most persuasive book. Sitchin's approach is to largely validate the Old Testament historically, and to harmonize it with other historical and religious writings of antiquity by the exhaustively careful evaluation of the translations of clay tablets, stelae, etc., unearthed by archaeologists of the past hundred years. His ...
645. Newton's World View [Journals] [Kronos]
... religion with the philosophy of Aristotle constituted the ideal of Newton. He kept it a secret because he wanted to influence scientific thought without putting the admirers of the new scientific method on the alert. I am willing to agree with Cohen with one proviso, that the secret was not kept by Newton, who put down his thoughts in voluminous writings, but by those who have not published them. The Jewish philosopher Maimonides (1135-1204) had tried to reconcile his religion, which commanded him to believe in Creation, with the Aristotelian basic assumption that the Earth with the surrounding seven heavens is uncreated and unchangeable. Maimonides expressly declares that in accepting the story of Creation he disagrees with ...
646. Pursuing A Ray Of Light. File III (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... means of outside communication, are, like children, prone to exaggeration. A volcanic eruption is an earthshaking event, and no doubt the inhabitants of Pompeii thought the entire world was coming to an end. Similarly with great storms, fires, and tidal waves. Then, too, many of the myths and traditions may have been imaginative writing, and should be considered as such.... Your quotations tending to show that Venus was not seen by primitive peoples are interesting, but at the same time constitute only negative evidence. I find it much easier to believe that Venus for some unknown reason was not enumerated than that the planet did not exist at that time ...
647. Master Of Innuendo. File III (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... and spent not a few long afternoons and evenings, often till midnight, discussing and debating with me the implications of my theories. In the last weeks of his life he reread Worlds in Collision and read also three files of "memoirs" [Stargazers and Gravediggers] on that book and its reception, and he expressed his thoughts in writing. We started at opposite points.... When the omitted part of the passage is restored where it belongs in the text, Brown's allegation becomes baseless. The reader of the omitted paragraph realizes the serious attitude of Einstein toward my work; the reader of Brown's review is denied this realization and is asked to believe that there ...
648. THE ROAD TO SATURN (EXCERPTS FROM AN AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL ESSAY) [Journals] [Aeon]
... Velikovsky. Granted that he might not have been aware of his precursors when he first embarked on his work, Velikovsky himself soon realized it and, despite the accusations of his detractors, did not hide the fact. Without taking into account what the ancients and present primitive peoples have had to say about the subject, free thinkers have been writing on cosmic catastrophism since the 17th century. Among the best known have been William Whiston, theologian, mathematician, and deputy at Cambridge to Sir Isaac Newton; Ignatius Donnelly, member of congress, reformer, and politician extaordinaire: Hans Hoerbiger and Philipp Fauth, the one a self-styled cosmologist, the other a renowned selenologist, who collaborated ...
649. Velikovsky's Dreamwork [Journals] [Aeon]
... the word-picture encourages comparison and, when the comparison is humorous, its turning into a joke. ( 'Davar'- word- can be read, if the punctuation is left out Dever'- plague.) [Paragraphing altered.] (7 ) The problem of phylogenesis was, however, a persistent one in his early psychoanalytic writings. His first article, on psychic energy, had dealt with thought transfer over distance and his more recent work on dreams dealt with language as a mode of thought transfer over time. From the beginning he had rejected Jung's notion of genetic inheritance of symbols or thoughts; in 1935, he began looking for a psychological mechanism to account ...
650. James P. Hogan's Cradle Of Saturn (Book Review) [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... its orbit and tell the people of the Earth it is safe since that body could not possibly approach the Earth given its present orbit and gravitational parameters. The planetoid christened Athena, has been hurtling toward the Sun for ten months. The calculations clearly indicate that it will cross the Earth's orbit fifteen million miles ahead of the Earth. Hogan writes: "What the Kronians had been trying to get accepted since before Athena's appearance was that around the middle of the second millennium B.C ., Earth experienced a close encounter with a giant comet. Its axis was shifted and its orbit changed, causing seas to empty and flow over continents, the crust to buckle into mountains ...
