Velikovsky's Ghost Returns.LINK.

It has been said that no great advance has ever been made without controversy. More than 5 decades after the Velikovsky firestorm, questions first posed by Velikovsky can no longer be ignored. At stake here is not just the billions of dollars NASA has wasted chasing chimeras, but the very integrity of scientific exploration. Also at stake is the ability of the sciences to attract and inspire new generations. And nothing is more inspirational than a sense of being on the edge of discovery.

No matter the outcome of this long-standing battle, the time of reckoning is at hand. The voice of Velikovsky's ghost WILL be heard.

Thanks for the links. I remember reading Velikovski’s books, Ages In Chaos, Worlds in Collision, Earth in Upheaval, when they first were published in paperback. They were compelling...and sometimes, the sheer poetry and scope of Velikovski’s writing was breathtaking.

He will always have his defenders: men and women of true science.
