Velikovsky
Velikovsky:
 ”In 1953 while addressing graduate students at Princeton University, Velikovsky suggested two other verifiable phenomena: that the Earth’s magnetic field reaches as far into space as the orbit of the Moon and is responsible for vibratory or rocking movements of the moon. And he suggests that the planet (Jupiter, from which he said that Venus, the comet came from) radiates in the radio frequency range of the electromagnetic spectrum.
 These predictions have been made by scientists of the 1950s, earning the proof of the ignorance of Velikovsky, madness or both. (We shall see Egyptology tearing apart in the Ramesside issue and quoting the ancient alphabet as well.) Harlow Shapley refused to engage in experimental research to confirm his ideas. When, for example, it has been suggested that Shapley can use the Harvard Observatory to search for evidence of hydrocarbons in the Venusian atmosphere. Shapley said he was not interested in Velikovsky’s ’sensational claims “because they violate the laws of mechanics and’ if Dr Velikovsky is right, the rest of us are” crazy.
 A little over a decade of publication, “all” the key predictions of Velikovsky have been confirmed by experimentation. The “spacecraft Mariner 1963 determined by experiment that the surface temperature of Venus is in the region of 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and fifteen miles of the planet’s thick atmosphere consists of molecules of heavy hydrocarbons and perhaps more complex and organic compounds. (My father told me I was more and more of the standard atmosphere of methane could be changed to an atmosphere like earth with the explosion of hydrogen bombs in the atmosphere of Venus.)
 In April 1955, Drs. BF Burke and KL Franklin announced to the American Astronomical Society their accidental discovery of radio noise released by Jupiter. In 1962, the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory in Washington and the Goldstone tracking station in Southern California has announced that the radiometric observations of Venus have revealed a slow retrograde motion. In the same year, the satellite Explorer detected a magnetic field of the Earth at a distance of at least twenty-two Earth radii, while in 1965 it was reported that the tail extends’ at least as far the moon (3).
 Considering that the main objective of the attack on science Velikovsky was a personal attack against his integrity, the behavior of some of its most vociferous critics in the scientific community is interesting to read. In August 1963, “Harper’s Magazine, which had made the original announcement of Velikovsky’s theories, now is a retrospective piece showing how all the predictions of his principal had been confirmed. The author of two articles, Eric Larrabee, made a reference that caused a thunderous reaction from Donald Menzel, director of the Harvard College Observatory. At the height of the controversy a decade earlier, had tried to take Menzel Velikovsky by calculation that, for his astronomical theory right, the sun should have a surface potential of 10 billion billion volts. It is clear, “said Menzel, that is impossible if Velikovsky must be false. By an extraordinary chance, in 1960, VA Bailey, professor emeritus of physics at the University of Sydney (who knew nothing of the controversy Velikovsky) claimed to have discovered that the Sun is electrically charged and has a surface potential of 10 billion billion volts – exactly the value calculated by Menzel.
 Sensing that the discovery of Bailey made him look stupid, Menzel now sent a tough response to “Harper” and a letter to Bailey in Australia asking him to revoke his theory of electric charge on the Sun as it was helping the enemy.
 According to Ralph Juergens:
 Professor Bailey, taking exception to the idea that his own work should be abandoned to accommodate the anti-Velikovsky forces, prepared an article to refute part of Menzel and submitted to the “Harper’s” for publication in the same problem with Menzel. Bailey had discovered an error in the simple arithmetic Menzel, which invalidated his argument.
 It is also interesting to see how the Harvard astronomer was the fact that most of Velikovsky’s predictions had been confirmed. the radio emissions from Jupiter, he wrote that since most scientists do not accept Velikovsky’s theory it follows that “any apparent verification of Velikovsky’s prediction is pure chance. Regarding the temperature high surface of Venus is concerned, Menzel argued that “hot is only a relative term. Later in the article he referred to this statement by saying:” I have already disposed of the issue of temperature of Venus. “In fact, in 1950, Menzel had estimated the temperature of Venus at about 120 degrees Fahrenheit when it is really more like 800 degrees. The extent of the Earth’s magnetic field, Menzel wrote that Velikovsky said that it would extend as far as the moon, the area actually breaks suddenly in diameter at a distance from Earth to many. “In fact, Menzel was wrong, the field had been detected as extending at least () The focus from twenty to two Earth radii a year earlier by the satellite Explorer.
Â
 To their credit, some scientists do not support Velikovsky against the climate of hysteria and intimidation, including Princeton Hess, Professor HH, who was later president of the National Academy of Sciences space flight. In 1962, astronomer Princeton and Columbia physicist Valentin Bargmann Lloyd Motz wrote a joint letter to the editor of the magazine “Science” drawing attention to Velikovsky’s priority in predicting the surface temperature of Venus high radio emissions from Jupiter and the vastness of Earth’s magnetosphere, but “Under the direction of science,” Dr. Philip Abelson, was not interested in Velikovsky. Instead, he printed a letter from the author of science fiction satire Velikovsky Paul Anderson on the grounds that the authors of science fiction and pranksters also made fantastic predictions that have sometimes been verified. When the editor of the magazine “Horizon” Abelson wrote in to protest against the exclusion of an article of Velikovsky, Abelson said, Velikovsky
 Is a controversial figure. Many of the ideas he expressed are not accepted by serious students of earth sciences. Since my prejudices agree with the majority, I strained my sense of fair play to accept the letter by Bargmann and Motz, and thought that the books were well balanced with the rejoinder to Anderson. (4)
 Scientific American showed he had not moved the editorial because it ridiculed the Wright brothers fifty years earlier. The magazine had refused to carry advertising for ‘Worlds in Collision “(transmitted by Einstein I believe) and in 1956 it included a very critical article by physicist Harrison Brown. “(5)
 One reason is the fact that the Egyptian chronologies Velikovsky directly refute the biblical story. In fact, it destroys all the time or the premises of most of calendar history and shows how it is based on three pillars ignorance. Mistakes are accepted in a branch of academics are supported by others and the whole fiasco is a “house of cards” of propaganda in mind. When I discovered his book “Peoples of the Sea ‘it was in the fiction section of my local library while the other stories and theories that have been refuted repeatedly, are in the reference or science sections.
