[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Sans-serif,sans-serif]Immanuel Velikovsky was born in Vitebsk in White Russia in 1895. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Sans-serif,sans-serif]He studied medicine, science and other subjects, e.g. philosophy, ancient history and law at the Universities of Montpellier (France), Edinburgh (Great Britain), Moscow (Russia) and Kharkiv (Ukraine) in difficult circumstances caused by the discrimination and persecution of the Jews as well as the political and war-related chaos of the time. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Sans-serif,sans-serif]After getting his M.D. in Moscow in 1921 he emigrated to Germany, where he founded the scientific journal Scripta Universitatis in Berlin. In this project he came into contact with Albert Einstein, who was editor of the mathematical-physical section. This project, furthermore, laid the foundation for the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, the presidency of which was offered to Immanuel Velikovsky. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Sans-serif,sans-serif]After getting married to his wife Elisheva (s. photo) in 1923 Velikovsky settled in Palestine and started to practice as a physician. At the same time he started to study psychoanalysis with Wilhelm Stekel, the first disciple of Freud, whom he visited several times in Vienna, published several scientific papers about the subject and opened the first psychoanalytical practice in Palestine.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Sans-serif,sans-serif]Doing research for a planned book project about Freud’s dream interpretation and about a new view of Freud’s heros Oedipus and Akhnaton, Velikovsky needed access to numerous literary sources. For this reason in 1939 he travelled to New York together with his family. Shortly afterwards World War II began and he had to extend his stay for an indefinite period, finally staying in the US for good due to his unexpected discoveries.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Sans-serif,sans-serif]The next 10 years he spent with intensive research about the geological and anthropological facts he had discovered, which in 1949 he presented to the public in his book Worlds in Collision. By its contents, as well as by the scandalous reaction of the representatives of the scientific establishment, this book initiated such a far-reaching and revolutionary development in many areas of science and society that until today its actuality and importance have even increased.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Sans-serif,sans-serif]Velikovsky himself, however, even after the publication of 4 more books, was confronted with a heavy up and down of overwhelming acceptance and devastating – unfortunately mostly very unserious – rejection, which resulted in a heavy psychological burden for him.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Sans-serif,sans-serif]After moving to Princeton in the fifties he had a close and friendly relationship with Albert Einstein, discussing his theories with him. After Einstein’s death Velikovsky’s Worlds in Collision was found open on his desk.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Sans-serif,sans-serif]Inspite of more and more recent research in geology and planetology supporting his theories, Velikovsky remained the victim of a discrediting campaign until his death, which is neither in proportion with his exact scientific methodology nor with the contents and importance of his works.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Sans-serif,sans-serif]He died in Princeton in 1979.[/FONT]
today the mainstream media has lauched a campaign against "fake news" but the fact is the scientific establishment has produced "fake news" for generations by ignoring and censoring all data that shows the inadequacy of their theories,
Dr,Velikovsky's books hight lightened the failings of ,archeology, cosmology, anthropologly,evolutionary theory, einsteinian and newtonian physics,geology, to mention a few.the scientific establishment responded by censoring his books and putting pressure on commercial publishers to not publish his books.
as Dr Velikovsky wrote, the Guardians of Dogma had vested interest in the existing theories and reaped profits from the books of the establishment theories, and therfore do not want the truth to upset their system of revenue.
professor velikovsky's series of books had the greatest affect on my deductive prespective and understanding of science than any other author.

though he was by no means an astrologer,his theories on the birth and interaction of the planets forever made me look behind dogma,whether science or astrology and prepared me to see the underpinning of astrology.
briefly, professor velikovsky theory is that the planet venus was either a comet caught by jupiter and sent toward earth or was venus itself burst forth from jupiter.
newly created venus struck mars before a close encounter with the earth, causing catastrophic physical affects on earth.
this doesn't seem too far out but the fact that he placed this cosmic event around 1500 bc,well within the historical record,this fact set of howls of protest from the scientific community .his intial book [Worlds in Collisionwas "banned" by academia and and publishers for over 10 years.
yet many of his prediction have turned out to be true.
http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/esp_autor_velikovsky.htm
he wrote a series of books ,each verifying his theory from diffferent scientific displines.
mythology and cultral anthropology.
geological evidence.
archeological and biblical evidence.
when venus hit mars,it set mars on a orbit than would several hundred years later bring mars close enough to the earth to cause the earths axis to be affected.
venus itself passes near enough to cause catastrophic affects on earth and affect the axis of the earth.
there are a few astronomical facts that support the near interaction with venus .
http://www.lunarplanner.com/HCpages/Venus.html
Venus orbits the Sun in 224.701 Earth days ( ~.615 Earth years ), moving slightly faster than Earth. Because of the two different orbital rates of Venus and Earth, Venus must orbit the sun 2.6 times while Earth orbits 1.6 times before the two planets align. This period (583.92 Earth days) is called the Earth-Venus synodic cycle (synod means "place of meeting").
Because the Earth moves 584 Earth days, (about 1.6 years around the ecliptic) before the two planets align, each alignment occurs about 215.6° further than the previous one (about seven astrological signs apart). As this process continues, five unique Venus-Earth locations are created in the ecliptic. The result is a pentagonal synodic series that takes about eight years and which consists of five synodic cycles (shown below). This near perfect pattern (also called a grand quintile) occurs because five cycles occur in an even number of Earth years--almost
that the same face of venus and earth reoccurs during the synodal conjunctions, implies the planet were at some time near enough for their gravitional force to entangled in this manner. it is statistically impossible to have this type synchronous rotation occur randomly.
this scenario presupposed that the orientation of the axis was changed within the last few thousand years.
the arabic astrologer Arzachel ,using ancient codices, calculated the ancient babylon was 2 degrees futhur north than in historical times.
the great astrologer johannes kepler took note of these clculartions and accepted the result.
when venus first encounter the earth in circa 1500 bc the gravitation effect between the planets pulled the easrth axis so that in the biblical tale of joshua,Joshua 10:12-13,the sun stood still for several hours allowing the israelite to win a decisive battle.
the hebrew commentary Midrashim describes the sun and moon standin still for 36 itim or about 8 hours.
when,several hundred years later mars started to affect the earth, there is actually a recorded date.
the chinese records show that on march 23 -687 bc time when the sun set and then rose back up.
this date is archeologicaly the date given when king sennscherib's army was utterly destroyed by hail and brimestone,according to the hebrew commentaries and the torah.
this episode is well known from the bible and archeology .
these books offer a mind boggling amount of evidence from multiple disciplines.
professor velikovsky also assails darwinian theory for it's inadequacy to integrate the geological evidence of these encounters.
it is very easy to see why creationism is making inroads to evolution, as the theory of evolution has claimed much more that the evidence supports.
the significance of professor velikovsky's work is shown by the active suppression of his theory for 60 years.
why is there a cultural amnesia?
why is the theory still actively suppressed when evidence is overwhelmingly behind him?
I created this thread to show examples of this books that undeniably show the censorship of the scientific establishment for generations.
