ZetaTalk: Velikovsky
Immanuel Velikovsky was a genius on par with Einstein, which is a fact seldom mentioned by his detractors. Both he and Einstein were Star Children, and indeed were friends who engaged in the type of friendly argument only two geniuses could engage in. Velikovsky's mission was to set mankind to thinking about the periodic cataclysms that have so dramatically left their mark on the Earth and human history. Like Einstein, he was berated for presenting what most of mankind does not want to think about - bad news.
Mountains obviously thrown skyward under extreme pressure, the
ruins of great civilizations with no reason for demise, flash
frozen carcasses of healthy Mastodons with no evident cause of
death - all this is put over the wall and not dealt with.
Research into uncharted territory seldom results in solid
conclusions all around. Theories based on theories don't have a
solid base. That any of the theories prove out, under these
circumstances, is a wonder. Thus, some of Velikovsky's theories
as to the cause of the Earth's cosmic near-collisions are
unfounded. Where the planet Venus was sent into an irregular
orbit after one recent pole shift, the upheavals on Earth were
caused only by the passage of the 12th Planet - the major
ingredient in the brew. Unlike Einstein's theories of relativity,
Velikovsky's theories cannot be effectively proved until the
giant comet, the 12th Planet, returns to savage this Solar System
again. Unfortunately for those unwilling to listen to Velikovsky
or contemplate the evidence he so poetically presents, they will
be learning the truth of his theories - too late!
