I appreciate the challenge concerning the last time the lunar surface was heated and became also partly molten. I intend to show that of the three possibilities in Professor Derek York's discourse, the evidence is for - "there is something wrong with the radioactive clocks or our reading of them." First, I will cite the impression the physical appearance of the lunar rocks made on qualified observers. The Lunar Sample Preliminary Examination Team ("Preliminary Examination of Lunar Samples from Apollo 11") recorded "the extremely fresh appearance of the interior of all crystalline rocks, in spite of their microfractures and high potassium-argon age." As to the exterior of the lunar material, T. Gold, writing in Science, discussed "Apollo 11 Observations of a Remarkable Glazing Phenomenon on the Lunar Surface." Gold, looking for a cause of the glazing assumed "a giant solar outburst in geologically recent times" that sprayed the surface of all lunar rocks with metallic glaze. How recent? "The glazing occurred less than 30,000 years ago: otherwise the glaze would have been eroded and dusted over by slow bombardment of the moon by cosmic dust. On the other hand, the event must have taken place some thousands of years ago, not only because it was not observed historically, but also to allow enough time for the metal-plating process to coat the glass." The event was observed historically; however, it was not due to the sun becoming a nova for a second or so, but to the repeated disturbance in the moon's motion and the near-encounters in the celestial sphere described in Worlds in Collision, part II, "Mars." <strong>...</strong></p>Velikovsky Immanuel - Were All Dinosaurs Reptilesurn:md5:a9510f404489b833b956206d609b5d8b2012-03-15T15:47:00+00:002014-03-29T20:56:43+00:00balderVelikovsky ImmanuelDinosaur <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img/.Velikovsky_Immanuel_-_Were_All_Dinosaurs_Reptiles_s.jpg" alt="" /><br />

BRONTOSAURUS WAS A MAMMAL. Millions of years are required for a piece of wood to become a piece of coal. But to make of it a piece of coal when ablaze, only a few hours are needed. When footprints of pre-historic animals are found in the coal surface of quarries, it is not necessary to assume that millions of years must be involved in the calculations. Continents appeared and disappeared; mountains rose and fell; rivers lost their beds; and deep within the Earth, all geological strata boiled and turned over. An animal fled upon the ground to save itself, or hid in a cave. The woods burned; the air high above was in flames; the ground became soft from the inside. The animal perished, but before perishing it left its mark - its footprints. The antiquity of the geological strata in which fossils are found is measured by tens and hundreds of millions of years. However, all conclusions of geology must be revised in a very definite manner. It is possible that not tens of millions of years lay between the full extinction of the large Dinosauria and our age, but only some thousands of years. The evolution of species, as it would proceed in a world not disturbed by catastrophes, would require for its course quite a different span of time than if cataclysms intervened; cataclysms could do in only hours or weeks for what evolution would require millennia to accomplish. The huge extinct animals - dinosaurs - are classified as reptiles, and their time is called the Age of the Reptiles. It was supposed that in this early age no mammals existed; then skeletons of small wolf like animals were discovered together with the bones of dinosaurs. <strong>...</strong></p>Velikovsky Immanuel - Venus A Youthful Planeturn:md5:6f994cc5d2c80f607b72f261c5a98fae2012-03-15T15:45:00+00:002014-03-29T20:56:47+00:00balderVelikovsky ImmanuelVenus <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img/.Velikovsky_Immanuel_-_Venus_A_Youthful_Planet_s.jpg" alt="" /><br />

The article "Venus - a Youthful Planet " was written in 1963 and was offered for publication in the Proceedings of the American Philosophical Society by Professor H. H. Hess, a member of that Society. The paper was discussed at the editorial board meeting of the Society and caused prolonged and emotional deliberations with the Board split between those favoring the publication and those opposed to it. For several months a decision could not be reached. For a time it was planned to open a new column in the Proceedings, entrust it to Professor E. G. Boring of Harvard, and have it printed there. But this plan was revoked and the decision was made, in order to safeguard the very existence of the Board, to delegate the decision on the article to three members of the society, not members of the Board. Their names were not disclosed but on January 20, 1964, Dr. George W. Corner, Executive Officer of the Society and the editor of the Proceedings, informed Dr. Hess that the decision had been made to reject the article. Subsequently it was also rejected by the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists; in that magazine in April, 1964, an abusive article was published by a Mr. Howard Margolis, attacking Velikovsky and his work. The editor of the Bulletin, Dr. Eugene Rabinowitch, in a letter to Professor Alfred de Grazia, editor of the American Behavioral Scientist, offered Velikovsky an opportunity to reply with an article "not more abusive" than that of Margolis, or, instead, to have some of his views presented in the Bulletin by some scientist of repute. Then Professor H. H. Hess submitted the article " Venus - a Youthful Planet " to Dr. Rabinowitch. The latter returned it with the statement that he did not read Velikovsky's book, nor the article. The case is described in The Velikovsky Affair (University Books), a collection of articles originally printed in the special issue of the American Behavioral Scientist (September 1963), then reprinted with updating material, as a book, in the summer of 1966.
(Ultimately, the article "Venus - a Youthful Planet" was published in the April, 1967 issue of the Yale Scientific Magazine . It is reprinted here with a marked timeliness. - LMG) The nebular hypothesis of the origin of the planetary family (Swedenborg, Kant, Laplace), also in its modern form (Weiszacker), complies with the uniformitarian principle of Hutton, Lyell, and Darwin. On the other hand, the tidal hypothesis in its original version (a tidal disruption of the sun by a passing star - Moulton, Chamberlain, Jeans, Jeffreys) and in its variant (the collision of the passing star with one member of a binary star system of which the sun is a surviving member - Lyttleton, H. N. Russell) is clearly catastrophic. Yet, its originators claimed that the catastrophe was an exception to the rule of the otherwise valid principle of uniformity, according to which only those processes that are observable in our time could have taken place in the past. <strong>...</strong></p>Velikovsky Immanuel - The Weakness Of The Venus Greenhouse Theoryurn:md5:bb93d4846df40b232026946a6ebefbe52012-03-15T15:43:00+00:002014-03-29T20:56:49+00:00balderVelikovsky ImmanuelVenus <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img/.Velikovsky_Immanuel_-_The_Weakness_Of_The_Venus_Greenhouse_Theory_s.jpg" alt="" /><br />

In the April 1967 issue of the Yale Scientific Magazine (pp. 18-19), Professors Albert W. Burgstahler and Ernest E. Angino of the University of Kansas offered some thoughtful criticism relevant to the thesis of Worlds in Collision. Among other things, the subject of the validity of the Venus "greenhouse effect" was discussed and the following quote from the book Intelligent Life in the Universe, by I. Shklovskii and C. Sagan, was introduced. <strong>...</strong></p>Velikovsky Immanuel - The Velocity of Light in Relation to Moving Bodiesurn:md5:82fcfdda14e5cc45fd1c7b12acd34cd72012-03-15T15:42:00+00:002014-03-29T20:56:52+00:00balderVelikovsky ImmanuelLight <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img/.Velikovsky_Immanuel_-_The_Velocity_of_Light_in_Relation_to_Moving_Bodies_s.jpg" alt="" /><br />

<br />
A proposal for an experiment. This paper remains in the form in which it was written over a decade ago. Ed. The Michelson-Morley experiment performed in 1886 demonstrated that a beam of light that issues from a terrestrial source and travels in the direction of terrestrial motion, East-West-East or West-East-West, needs the same time to traverse a laboratory distance as a beam that travels at right angles to that motion (North-South-North or South-North-South). The undulatory theory of light transmitted by waves in the ether anticipated detection of a difference in the velocities of the two beams due to the orbital velocity of the earth through absolute ether-filled space. Half a year later, when the earth was on the opposite side of its orbit, the same experiment again disclosed no difference in the velocities of the beams; any possible compensatory motion on the part of the solar system or the entire galaxy thus was excluded. The explanation first offered was the supposition that any material object (also a measuring rod) traveling through the ether is shortened by a very small amount; the East-West distance in the laboratory apparatus (interferometer), being shorter, is traversed by a beam of light traveling a little slower in the same time that the longer North-South distance is crossed by a swifter beam (1). Einstein, however, generalized this idea by assuming that the velocity of light in vacuum is constant in relation to all bodies, whether in motion or at rest. The ether was discarded in the Special Theory of Relativity, and Einstein embraced the quanta theory of light. Both space and time lost the attribute of constancy, and light (its velocity) acquired it. <strong>...</strong></p>Velikovsky Immanuel - The Orientation of the Pyramidsurn:md5:90740332a12638a8599ef325f4c1c35d2012-03-15T15:38:00+00:002014-03-29T20:56:56+00:00balderVelikovsky ImmanuelEgyptPyramid <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img/.Velikovsky_Immanuel_-_The_Orientation_of_the_Pyramids_s.jpg" alt="" /><br />

<br />
A little consideration reveals that, should the terrestrial axis be turned tomorrow into a new astronomical direction by any angle of inclination toward the ecliptic, the Great Pyramid would remain properly oriented to the north and south poles; there would be a new celestial pole and, if so positioned, a new polar star, but the pyramid would remain with two of its sides aligned with the geographical poles. Should the terrestrial axis be turned by anything like 180°, north and south would change places (a hieroglyphic text quoted in Worlds in Collision, p. 107: "The south becomes north, and the Earth turns over"), but the pyramid would not be disoriented. Actually, quite a number of authors of classical antiquity refer to earlier changes in the inclination of. the terrestrial axis and to subsequent positions it took (W. in C., Part 1, Ch. 5; Part II, Chs. 7 and 8). Should the orbit undergo a change, and with it the length of the year and besides, the relative length of the seasons, or should the rotational speed change, and with it the length of the day--the Great Pyramid would remain true to the terrestrial poles. <strong>...</strong></p>Velikovsky Immanuel - The Oceanurn:md5:4a2ee503294e0b63a507f65fa429f9262012-03-15T15:37:00+00:002014-03-29T20:56:59+00:00balderVelikovsky ImmanuelGenesisOceanVenus <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img/.Velikovsky_Immanuel_-_The_Ocean_s.jpg" alt="" /><br />

SEDIMENTS. Poseidon, lord of the Ocean, was the first to come to my defense. A basic assumption of geology for the past century has been that, though the sea may encroach on land by covering coastal areas with shallow water, the continents and the oceans are primeval; what is now ocean was always ocean and the continents were always land masses, independent of whether they do or do not move slowly, as a certain theory (continental drift) proposes. In Worlds in Collision, the permanency of land and sea was denied. In the presence of external forces, with attendant pulling and shearing, land submerged into the depths of the sea, and sea bottom rose to become land. Prior to certain catastrophes, earlier than those described in Worlds in Collision, the highest mountain ridges of the Himalayas must have been under sea, as the fossil content of their rock formations testifies. Stupendous meteorite showers occurred in the past, and the red clay on the bottom of the sea must have iron and nickel content of meteoric origin. Speaking of the cataclysm that closed the period known as the Middle Bronze II (Middle Kingdom in Egypt), I wrote in Worlds in Collision (p. 48):
"One of the first visible signs of this encounter was the reddening of the earth's surface by a fine dust of rusty pigment. In sea, lake and river this pigment gave a bloody coloring to the water. Because of these particles of ferruginous or other soluble pigment, the world turned red." In paroxysms of nature, especially during the catastrophe of the fifteenth century before the present era, ash fell on land and sea. <strong>...</strong></p>Velikovsky Immanuel - The Immanuel Velikovsky Archiveurn:md5:5a45f48c4c346637e1f4f69ed15fb9b72012-03-15T15:34:00+00:002014-03-29T20:57:03+00:00balderVelikovsky ImmanuelEgyptGenesisNibiruVenus <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img/.Velikovsky_Immanuel_-_The_Immanuel_Velikovsky_Archive_s.jpg" alt="" /><br />

The book from which I learned the history and practice of hypnosis treated it as a rather recent discovery, crediting F. A. Mesmer (1734-1815) with inventing hypnosis or "animal magnetism" as he called it. But it is very improbable that this natural phenomenon could have evaded the ancients and remained unknown through all the centuries and millennia of recorded history. Its application is too simple relative to the mystery of the phenomenon. Indeed, many of the practices of the Hindu yogis that go back to ancient times belong to the category of autohypnosis. In deep hypnosis it is possible to provoke - by a mere verbal order catalepsy, hysteria-like paralysis, and illusions. An order can be given so that a person will be unable to lift his arms; and, in the case of a person subjected to an even deeper hypnotic state, he will not be able to see or, if led to some destination, he can be made to believe that he is in different surroundings. In the Hebrew Scriptures, I found two instances where supposed "miracles" can be recognized as inflicted hypnotic states, consisting of paralysis and somnambulistic illusions. In both of these stories the expression hikku b'sanverim - "he (or they) smote with sanverim" - is used to describe the phenomenon. The first example is found in Genesis (19:11), in the narrative of the events shortly preceding the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. Lot had in his house, as guests, two of the Lord's messengers or malakhim - a word usually translated as "angels"; but they are also called "men" in the body of the story. When the depraved people of Sodom demanded the delivery of the guests for their sexual debauchery and tried to force their way inside, Lot vainly negotiated with the people at the door. The messengers opened the door, stretched out their arms, brought Lot inside, and smote the assailants at the door with sanverim. Those smitten with sanverim groped for the door, unable to find it. The next morning Lot, with his family, hastily left the city and fled to Zoar. Then followed the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. <strong>...</strong></p>Velikovsky Immanuel - Recollections of a Fallen Sky Velikovsky and Cultural Amnesiaurn:md5:cd9e7f89a96e7d613d8ea9e034f3e7462012-03-15T15:30:00+00:002014-03-29T20:57:10+00:00balderVelikovsky ImmanuelVenus <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img/.Velikovsky_Immanuel_-_Recollections_of_a_Fallen_Sky_Velikovsky_and_Cultural_Amnesia_s.jpg" alt="" /><br />

FOREWORD. On Saturday afternoon 11 May 1974, the University of Lethbridge conferred upon Immanuel Velikovsky the honourary degree of Doctor of Arts and Science in recognition of the interdisciplinary nature of his scholarship. In awarding this degree the University was recognizing a world famous scholar whose work epitomizes the ideology of the University: that interdisciplinary studies have value. For two day preceding the convocation ceremony, the University was host to an international symposium which attracted delegates from the Pacific Northwestern region of the United States and from six Canadian provinces. This Symposium, with the theme Velikovsky and Cultural Amnesia, examined aspects of Velikovsky’s synthesis centering on the Humanities and Social Sciences. The papers presented in this volume are revised versions of the papers originally presented at the Symposium and from the first collection of papers on the subject of cultural Amnesia since Velikovsky introduced the topic in Worlds in Collision 1. The papers have been examined by other experts in the field concerned, criticisms were collected, and the authors were allowed to make minor changes in the hope that a more accomplished volume could be produced. Since Dr. Velikovsky’s addresses to the Symposium were delivered without notes, and because of Dr. Velikovsky’s weakening health in the months following the Symposium, he was not asked to submit written versions of his contributions. Instead, his papers were produced from the tape recordings of the Symposium sessions. After editing them for clarity, the transcriptions were revised by Dr. Velikovsky for publication here. <strong>...</strong></p>Velikovsky Immanuel - Earth in Upheavalurn:md5:11747cb296ff2bd1e0f9b46861e5f4ca2012-03-15T15:27:00+00:002014-03-29T20:57:14+00:00balderVelikovsky ImmanuelNibiruVenus <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img/.Velikovsky_Immanuel_-_Earth_in_Upheaval_s.jpg" alt="" /><br />

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS. WORKING ON Earth in Upheaval and on the essay (Address before the Graduate College Forum of Princeton University) added at the end of this volume, I have incurred a debt of gratitude to several scientists. Professor Walter S. Adams, for many years director of Mount Wilson Observatory, gave me all the information and instruction for which I asked concerning the atmospheres of the planets, a field in which he is the outstanding authority. On my visit to the solar observatory in Pasadena, California, and in our correspondence he has shown a fine spirit of scientific cooperation. The late Dr. Albert Einstein, during the last eighteen months of his life (November 1953-April 1955), gave me much of his time and thought. He read several of my manuscripts and supplied them with marginal notes. Of Earth in Upheaval he read chapters VIII through XII; he made handwritten comments on this and other manuscripts 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" on that book and its reception, and expressed his thoughts in writing. We started at opposite points; the area of disagreement, as reflected in our correspondence, grew ever smaller, and though at his death (our last meeting was nine days before his passing) there remained clearly defined points of disagreement, his stand then demonstrated the evolution of his opinion in the space of eighteen months. Professor Waldo S. Clock, Chairman of the Department of Geology at Macalester College, St. Paul, Minnesota, a recognized authority in dendrochronology (dating of tree rings), with the help of his graduate students searched the literature pertaining to the tree rings of early ages, and also gave me answers to questions in his field. Dr. H. Manley of the Imperial College, London, Professor P. L. Mercanton of the University of Lausanne, and Professor E. Thellier of the Observatoire Geophysique of the University of Paris, gave me freely of their knowledge in the field of geomagnetism and sent me reprints of their works. Professor Lloyd Motz of the Department of Astronomy at Columbia University, New York, never tired of testing mathematically and of commenting on various problems in electromagnetism and in celestial mechanics which I offered for discussion. Dr. T. E. Nikulins, geologist in Caracas, Venezuela, repeatedly drew my attention to various publications in the scientific press that might be of help to me; he supplied me with the source dealing with the discovery of the stone and bronze ages in northeastern Siberia. Professor George McCready Price, geologist in California, read an early draft of various chapters of this work. Between this octogenarian, author of several books on geology written from the fundamentalist point of view, and myself, there are some points of agreement and as many of disagreement. The main one among the latter is that while Price is opposed to the very theory of evolution and is supported in his disbelief by the fact that since the scientific age no new animal species have been observed to emerge, I offer in the concluding chapters of this book ("Extinction" and "Cataclysmic Evolution") a radical solution of the problem. With Professor Richardson of the Illinois Institute of Technology I spent several days discussing a few problems in physics and geophysics. With no one do I share the responsibility for my work; to everyone who gave me a helpful hand while the atmosphere in academic circles was generally charged with animosity, I express here my gratitude. <strong>...</strong></p>Velikovsky Immanuel - Collected Essaysurn:md5:e9bebcce464b8a04cc09ed24c531a7582012-03-15T15:22:00+00:002014-03-29T20:57:17+00:00balderVelikovsky ImmanuelNibiruVenus <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img/.Velikovsky_Immanuel_-_Collected_Essays_s.jpg" alt="" /><br />

Man, free from the bonds tying him to the rock of his birth, is about to make his first steps on the lunar landscape. It is an amazing achievement of man's technological genius, and with it the first stage of the Space Age (19571969) will be concluded. <strong>...</strong></p>Velikovsky Immanuel - Ages in Chaosurn:md5:f3021899ab1c4eae7e80bb5878beb1a62012-03-15T15:05:00+00:002014-03-29T20:57:27+00:00balderVelikovsky ImmanuelAkhnatonJew <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img/.Velikovsky_Immanuel_-_Ages_in_Chaos_s.jpg" alt="" /><br />

Age in CHAOS was conceived in the spring of 1940. It was then that I realized that the Exodus had occurred in the midst of a natural upheaval and that this catastrophe might prove to be the connecting link between the Israelite and Egyptian histories, if ancient Egyptian texts were found to contain references to a similar event. I found such references and before long had worked out a plan of reconstruction of ancient history from the Exodus to the conquest of the East by Alexander the Great. Already by October of the same year I had come to understand the nature and extent of that catastrophe. For a decade after that I worked simultaneously on Ages in Chaos and Worlds in Collision, the present work requiring the lion's share of the toil. Ages in Chaos covers largely the period dealt with in Worlds in Collision the eight hundred years from the Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt to the invasion of Palestine by Sennacherib in 687 before the present era, and the additional three and a half centuries to Alexander of Macedonia, altogether twelve hundred years of the history of the ancient East. But whereas the first work concentrated on the description of the physical history of the period, the present work deals with its political and cultural aspects. The occurrence of a widespread natural catastrophe serves here only as the point of departure for constructing a revised chronology of the times and lands under consideration. <strong>...</strong></p>Velikovsky Immanuel - Worlds in Collisionurn:md5:5aa2d02b42cf59fbbd798487d3b469822012-03-10T17:50:00+00:002014-03-29T20:57:31+00:00balderVelikovsky ImmanuelNibiru <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img/.Velikovsky_Immanuel_-_Worlds_in_Collision_s.jpg" alt="" /><br />

WORLDS IN COLLISION. (Doubleday & Company, Inc., Garden City, New York) This book by Immanuel Velikovsky created a furor all over the world when it was published in April of 1950, a furor that has not yet subsided. A campaign was carried on to create the impression that the press of this country had rejected the book. Here are a few comments from favorable reviews about this work, the most controversial volume in many decades: N. Y. HERALD TRIBUNE, John J. O'Neill: Dr. Immanuel Velikovsky has assembled into a monumental work evidence from all the early civilizations that in the first and second millennium B. C. tremendous terrestrial cataclysms took place. In a magnificent piece of scholarly historical research, there unfolds a most exciting picture of terrestrial events that raises world history to a level of superlative interest. Obscure allusions to events in classical and sacred literature become crystal clear as he fits together the jigsaw puzzle of history. Dr. Velikovsky's work presents a stupendous panorama of terrestrial and human histories which will stand as a challenge to scientists to frame a realistic picture of the cosmos. HARPER'S MAGAZINE, Eric Larrabee: Philosophy, science, religion - there is scarcely an area of knowledge or conviction invulnerable to Dr. Velikovsky's detailed and documented denial that the Earth's history has been one of peaceful evolution ... Bringing to this perspective all the apparatus of learning, Dr. Velikovsky has undertaken the awesome task of making an "inquiry into the architectonics of the world and its history" and of applying the techniques of scholarship and psychoanalysis to the entire human race. READER'S DIGEST, Fulton Oursler: A single scholar has sought a synthesis of knowledge and reason in the field of science, legend and religion. The result is a theory of earth's history as a planet, fascinating as a tale by Jules Verne, yet documented with a scholarship worthy of Darwin. COLLIER'S, Editor: "Worlds in Collision" promises to be one of the most controversial books of the year, perhaps of the decade ... Tremendous volume of research amassed by the author over a period of ten years. Although the theories Dr. Velikovsky expresses are certain to provoke debate, prominent scientific and religious leaders have found them most extraordinary. NEWSWEEK: Velikovsky, a broad-gauge savant with an incredible field of competence in the sciences ... confirms the Bible ... His final conclusions are even world-shaking ... If Velikovsky's monumental work stands, it will upset prevailing views in evolution, physical science and history. NEWSWEEK, "Professors as Suppressors": Although some of the critics who reviewed Velikovsky's book considered it a major scientific contribution, there could be little question but that it had driven the vast majority of the nation's scientists into a highly unacademic fury. For Velikovsky challenges all the present concepts and laws of history, astronomy, biology, and geology. One of the most cherished rights of the nation's teaching profession is academic freedom. ... Yet a small group of professors themselves stood accused of a major assault on academic freedom. PAGEANT: Nothing in recent years has so excited the public imagination, or stirred up so heated a controversy, as the fascinating new theory advanced by Dr. Immanuel Velikovsky, physician, scientist, historian, philosopher. Its inferences past and future, are so great and far reaching as to make the hydrogen bomb and 1950 troubles seem like child's play. ASSOCIATED PRESS, Robert W. Blakeslee, Science Editor: The book upsets all cosmological assumptions that the solar system planets have revolved in their present orbits for billions of years. UNITED PRESS, Paul F, Ellis, Science Editor: "Worlds in Collision" caused a commotion among astronomers but Velikovsky said: "Let them disprove the historical records on which my book is based." NEW REPUBLIC, Harold L. Ickes: Dr. Velikovsky has conferred a great boon upon all of us. He has given us something to think about; something even to pray about ... Perhaps we shall have sense enough to put our heads between our hands and do some real thinking about universal and lasting peace. BOOK-OF-THE-MONTH CLUB NEWS, John J. O'Neill: If you want an intellectual jolt read "Worlds in Collision" by Dr. Immanuel Velikovsky. It will furnish your mind with a new set of horizons. For here is a volume filled with events, stupendous, cataclysmic - terrestrial and cosmic - ... This is not just a wonder book. It is a serious presentation by a sincere scholar, and there is a deep philosophic significance underlying it. Dr. Velikovsky provides an array of evidence to support his claims. Scholars may disagree with Dr. Velikovsky's conclusions. To minds blinded by too much orthodoxy they may seem fantastic. They are, nevertheless, worthy of most serious thought. Science and history have been standing pat for entirely too long on a theory of man and nature that excludes the possibility of events outside a dull, safe routine. They have achieved this static program by hanging velvet curtains of taboo around embarrassing situations. They are ripe for a jolt. Dr. Velikovsky has pulled some of the curtains aside. EVERYBODY'S DIGEST, Editor: This remarkable ten-year study may rock the civilized world, challenging both our religious concepts and the theory of evolution. <strong>...</strong></p>
