NATIONAL HOLIDAY OF TRUTH -- Ed Conrad's Birthday -- Immanuel Velikovsky Seance

Today, as many of you know, is Ed Conrad's birthday. It is
not yet a National Holiday of Truth but, if patience is a virtue,
it soon will be.

In any event, to honor me, the late, great Dr. Immanuel Velikovsky
showed up at 4:45 this morning to hold a special seance to
mark the very special occasion in this monumental battle
against deceit, deception, collusion and conspiracy.
.
Actually, the good Doc shocked the hell out of me. I thought I
saw a ghost.

==========================================

"WORLDS IN COLLISION"
(Masterpiece by Dr. Immanuel Velikovsky in 1950)
(Just Part of the First Chapter)

In an immense universe a little globe revolves around a star;
it is the third in the row -- Mercury, Venus, Earth -- of the
planetary family.

It is of a solid core covered over most of its surface with liquid,
and it has a gaseous envelope. Living creatures fill the liquid;
other living creatures fly in the gas; and still others creep and walk
upon the ground on the bottom of the gaseous ocean.

Man, a being of erect stature, thinks himself the prince of creation.
He felt like this long before he, by his own efforts, came to know how
to fly on wings of metal around the globe. He felt godlike long before
he could talk to his fellow-man on the other side of the globe.

Today he can see the microcosm in a drop and the elements in the
stars. He knows the laws governing the living cell with its
chromosomes, and the laws governing the macrocosm of the sun,
moon, planets and stars.

He assumes that gravitation keeps the planetary system together,
man and beast on their planet, the sea within its borders.

For millions and millions of years, he maintains, the planets have
rolled along the same paths, and their moons around them, and man
in these eons has arisen from a one-cell infusorium all the long way
up to the ladder to his status of Homo sapiens.

Is man's knowledge now nearly complete? Are only a few more steps
necessary to conquer the universe: to extract the energy of the atom
-- since these pages were written this has already been done -- to
cure cancer, to control genetics, to communicate with other planets
and learn if they have living creatures, too
.
Here begins Homo ignoramus. He does not know what life is or how it
came to be and whether it originated form inorganic matter.
He does not know whether other planets of this sun or of other suns
have life on them, and if they have, whether the forms of life there
are like those around us, ourselves included.

He does not know how this solar system came into being, although he
has built up a few hypotheses about it. He knows only that the solar
system was constructed billions of years ago.

He does not know what this mysterious force of gravitation is that
holds him and his fellow man on the other side of the planet with
their feet on the ground, although he regards the phenomenon itself
as "the law of laws."

He does not know what the earth looks like five miles under his feet.
He does not know how mountains came into existence or what caused
the emergence of the continents, although he builds hypotheses about
these, nor does he know from where oil came -- again hypotheses.

He does not know why, only a short time ago, a thick glacial sheet
pressed upon most of Europe and North America, as he believes it did;
nor how palms could grow above the polar circle, nor how it came about
that the same fauna fill the inner lakes of the Old and the New
World.

He does not know where the salt in the sea came from.

Although man knows that he has lived on this planet for millions of
years, he finds a recorded history of only a few thousand years. And
even these few thousand years are not sufficiently well known.

Why did the Bronze Age precede the Iron Age even though iron is more
widely distributed over the world and its manufacture is simpler than
that of the alloy of copper and tin?

By what mechanical means were structures of immense blocks built
on the high mountains of the Andes?

What caused the legend of the Flood to originate in all the countries
of the world? Is there any adequate meaning to the term
"antediluvian"? From what experiences grew the eschatological pictures
of the end of the world?

In this work, of which the present book is the first part, some of
these questions will be answered, but only at the cost of giving up
certain notions now regarded as sacred laws in science -- the millions
of years of the present constitution of the solar system and the
harmonious revolution of the earth -- with all their implications as
regards the theory of evolution ...

EVOLUTION -- GREATEST COVERUP
IN THE HISTORY OF HISTORY

Smithsonian Hides Its Head in Shame
http://mysite.verizon.net/edconrad/FOSSILS/TightFit.jpg

"Any suggestion that scientists
so dearly love truth, that they
have not the slightest hesitation
in jettisoning their beliefs, is
a mean perversion of the facts."
-- I. Bernard Cohen

(professor of history and science at Harvard University)
as stated in "The Velikovsky Affair: The Warfare Between
Science and Scientism"

http://mysite.verizon.net/edconrad/F.../edyournot.gif

=============

Damn shame you never saw the following photo while
you were alive, Dr. Velikovsky. You weren't exaggerating
when you mentioned "an immense universe."

HOLY ****!
http://www.spacedaily.com/images/hub...-desk-1024.jpg

This is the Hubble's greatest photo that was taken of a black
speck of sky shown in a previous astounding photo of space that
it had taken previously

This view captures the mind-boggling outreaches of the universe
as if taken through an eight-inch straw.

No question, almost the same mind-boggling scene would be
evident no matter where the Hubble is pointed. The size of the
universe is THAT incredible.,

All astrophysicists and even Stephen Hawking agree with Ed
Conrad that, IF there is ANY intelligent life in the universe, it
probably exists on a planet in some far-distant galaxy billions,
maybe zillions, of light years from earth. But they strongly doubt it.

=================================

P.S. Here's part of what Immanuel Velikovsky had written in the
Preface to the paperback edition of his best-seller, "Worlds in
Collision," in the early 1960's:

========================

"The words found in the Preface to the 1950 edition, designating
the work as heresy in realms where the names of Newton and
Darwin reign supreme, should no longer evoke the same
spontaneous rejection on the part of even the most conservative
in science, unless it is a defense mechanism devised to protect
an inner realization of incertitude.

(Velikovsky then quoted Warren Weaver in "The Imperfections
of Science," which were part of the proceedings of the American
Philos. Soc. on Oct 17, 1960.)

"What, to the scientist, constitutes a really satisfactory sort of
success for a theory? (Weaver had asked) The answer lies
largely in the words generality, elegance, control and prediction."

As to generality, hardly anyone raised an objection. Possibly there
was some elegance in the timing: when these words were written
in 1960, ten years after the publication of my book and the great
opposition it provoked, some of the most compelling data were
radioed by the space vehicle, Pioneer V.

I would like to relate here a few details about the control and
prediction of two crucial tests, decisive for this book.

Early in my work I came to the understanding that Venus is
a newcomer to the planetary family, that it had a stormy if only
short history, and that it must still be very hot and "giving off
gas;" further, that it must be surrounded by a very extensive
envelope of hydrocarbon (petroleum) gas and dust.

Such claims were in total disagreement with what was known
in 1946 when I completed the manuscript of the work or in 1950
when it was published.

To stress the crucial nature of these claims, they were put under
the headings "The Gases of Venus" and "The Thermal Balance
of Venus" immediately preceding the section, "The End."

Should I be right in these claims, the entire chain of deductions --
of which the identification of the extraterrestrial agent of the
paroxysms described is but the final ring -- is strengthened.

And since these crucial claims were in flagrant discord with accepted
values, in case of confirmation they ought not to be denoted as lucky
guesses.

As late as 1959, Venus' ground temperature was calculated to be only
17 degrees C, three degrees above the mean annual temperature
of the Earth.

But by 1961, from the nature of the radio signals emitted by Venus, it
was found that Venus' ground temperature is about 315 degrees C,
or 600 degrees F.

Dr. F. D. Drake of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory,
responsible for this reading, wrote: "We would have expected a
temperature only slightly greater than that of the earth." and the
find was "a surprise . . . in a field in which the fewest surprises
were expected."

There was admittedly no satisfactory explanation of such high
temperature of Venus in the frame of the accepted notions.

Greenhouse effect could not explain so high a temperature, nor could
radioactivity decaying for billions of years.

The Mariner II, the space vehicle that passed Venus in December, 1962,
was instrumented to detect whether the heat is real and as high as 600
degrees. It found it real and a full 800 degrees.

It found, also, that the night side of Venus is, if anything, hotter
than the day side and that light does not penetrate the cloud cover.

The other crucial test concerned the gaseous envelope of the planet
(Venus).

In 1946, four years before the publication of this book, I directed
a request and inquiry to Professor R. Wildt of Yale and the late
Professor W. S. Adams of Mount Wilson and Palomar observatories,
foremost authorities on the subject of planetary atmosphere,
indicating that the presence of hydrocarbon gases and dust in the
cloud envelope of Venus would constitute a crucial test for the
cosmological concepts evolved from the study of historical sources.

Wildt wrote on Sept. 13, 1946: "The absorption spectrum of Venus'
atmosphere cannot be interpreted as resulting from gaseous
hydrocarbons."

Adams answered (Sept. 9, 1946): "There is no evidence of the presence
of hydrocarbon gas in the atmosphere of Venus."

I must have been completely firm in my belief of not having made
a wrong deduction -- from the first premise of global catastrophe
to the last one, of identifying the agent -- to have chosen to print,
in disregard of the expert opinions: "On the basis of this research
I assume that Venus must be rich in petroleum gases."

On Feb. 26, 1963, making known the results of the Mariner probe,
Dr. Homer Newell of NASA announced that, in his judgment of those
responsible for that part of the program, Venus is enshrouded in an
envelope of hydrocarbon gases and dust, 15 miles thick, 45 miles
above the ground of the planet."

===============================

CON MAN DARWIN IGNORED THE EVIDENCE

A few choice tidbits from the book, "Mankind in Amnesia,"
by the late, great Dr. Immanuel Velikovsky, who previously
wrote "Worlds in Collision" and "Earth in Upheaval."

==================================

"But he (Charles Darwin) saw these animals,
their bones splintered, heaped in the strangest
assemblages -- giant sloths and mastodons together
with birds and mice.

"He had to forget these pictures of disaster in order
to invent a theory of a peaceful earth unshaken in its
entirety . . . (but) he could not pass over it in silence
in 'Origin of Species'.

"He wrote: 'The extinction of species has been involved
in the most gratuitous mystery . . . No one can have
marveled more than I have done at the extinction
of the species.'

"Darwin concluded: 'Certainly, no fact in the long history
of the world is so startling as the wide and repeated
extermination of its inhabitants'."

======================

"Quoting Eisely, when at the University of Kansas in 1943,
quoting an observer of an awe-inspiring scene spread all
over Alaska:

"... in certain regions of Alaska the bones of these extinct
animals lie so thickly scattered that there can be no question
of human handiwork involved.

"Though man was on the scene of the final perishing,
his was not, then, the appetite nor the capacity for such
giant slaughter."

=========================

"These remains were obviously heaped together in single
actions of nature . . . Alfred Russel Wallace, who
simultaneously with Darwin announced the theory
of natural selection, in puzzlement drew the attention
of the scientific world to the Siwalik hills, at the foot
of the Himalayas, their several hundred miles of length
practically packed with bones of animals . . .

"It seems impossible to attribute the phenomenon
to the unaided efforts of man. In this great carnage
are myriads of animals, limb torn from limb, in great
heaps, over tens of miles, mixed with splintered trees."

============================

In 1963, the editors of American Behavioral Scientist
magazine were convinced of the merits of Dr. Immanuel
Velikovsky's science -- contained in "Worlds in Collision"
and "Earth in Upheaval," published in the early 1950s --
and were aware of the mushroom cloud of denial that had
been generated from within the scientific community.

The editors considered these events to be of major
importance to the history of science.

Therefore, they displayed tremendous courage by devoting
their September 1963 issue to defending Velikovsky.

It contained three papers dealing with the Velikovsky
controversy -- by Ralph Juergens, Livio Stecchini and
publisher Alfred de Grazia, as well as a paper submitted
by Velikovsky himself.

Three years later -- in 1966 -- this edition of American
Behavioral Scientist wound up as a hard-cover book entitled
"The Velikovsky Affair: The Warfare of Science and Scientism,"
edited by de Grazia and published by University Books Inc.,
New Hyde Park, N.Y.

==================

"THE VELIKOVSKY AFFAIR"
Foreward
(By Alfred de Grazia)

In 1950, a book called "Worlds in Collision," by Dr.
Immanuel Velikovsky, gave rise to a controversy in
scientific and intellectual circles about scientific
theories and the sociology of science.

Dr. Velikovsky's historical and cosmological concepts,
bolstered by his acknowledged scholarship, constituted
a formidable assault on certain established theories
of astronomy, geology and historical biology, and on
the heroes of those sciences.

Newton, himself, and Darwin were being challenged, and
indeed the general orthodoxy of an ordered universe.

The substance of Velikovsky's ideas is briefly presented
in the first chapter of this book.

What must be called the scientific establishment rose in
arms, not only against the new Velikovsky theories but
against the man himself.

Efforts were made to block dissemination of Dr. Velikovsky's
ideas, and even to punish supporters of his investigations.

Universities, scientific societies, publishing houses,
the popular press were approached and threatened; social
pressures and professional sanctions were invoked
to control public opinion.

There is no doubt that in a totalitarian society, not only
would Dr. Velikovsky's reputation have been at stake, but
also his right to pursue his inquiry, and perhaps his own
personal safety.

As it was, the "establishment" succeeded in building a wall
of unfavorable sentiment around him: to thousands of scholars
the name of Velikovsky bears the taint of fantasy,
science-fiction and publicity.

He could not be suppressed entirely. In the next few years
he published three more books. He carried on a large
correspondence. And he was helped by friends and by
a large general public composed of persons outside of the
establishments of science.

The probings of spacecraft tended to confirm -- never to disprove --
his arguments.

Eventually, the venomous aspects of the controversy,
the efforts at suppression, the campaign of vilification
loomed almost as large, in their consequences to science,
as the original issue.

Social scientists, who had been generally aware of Dr. Velikovsky's
work, now found themselves in the thick of the conflict.
The involvement of the social and behavioral sciences in the
scientific theories of Velikovsky was higher than had been earlier
appreciated.

The social sciences are the basis of Velikvsky's work: despite his
proficiency in the natural sciences, it is by the use of the
methodology of social science that Velikovsky launched his challenge
to accepted cosmological theories.

No one pretends that this method is adequate. New forms of
interdisciplinary research are needed to wed, for example, the study
of myth with the study of meteorites.

Nor does one have to agree that Velikovsky is the greatest technician
of mythology, even while granting his great conceptual and
synthesizing powers.

Whatever the scientific substance, the controversy itself could not
be avoided or dismissed by behavioral science.

The problem of sicence is one of the agitating problems
of the twentieth century. The issues are clear: Who determines
scientific truth: Who are its high priests, and what is their
warrant? How do they establish their canons? What effects
do they have on the freedom of inquiry, and on public interest?

In the end, some judgment must be passed upon the behavior of the
scientific world and, if adverse, some remedies must be proposed . . .

It is our hope that the publication of these papers in the present
volume (a revised and enlarged version) will make it less easy for
Velikovsky's new work to be suppressed, or lightly dismissed.

We hope, too, that they will help scientists and interested laymen
everywhere to rehearse the problems and to reform the errors
of the vast enterprise of science.
