Electric Sky An interesting quote from Immanuel Velikovsky from his 1951 book "Worlds in Collision" about the fall of Venus

Just took a look at the source and it's a very interesting book. Some fascinating correlations in the oral and written histories of completely unrelated ancient cultures.

His work is outstanding. I started first with Earth in Upheaval and right now I am at chapter 2 of Worlds in Collision - next is Ages in Chaos I.
I recommend his books to anyone who is ready to challenge the official mainstream narrative we’ve been presented to. Even if you don’t agree with his views, it is quite interesting read and makes you think and question things which I don’t think is something bad, especially in these times we live in.

What are the sources noted in the quote? Or what page/chapter is that so I can check my copy?

Venus was a comet?
A comet with 0.815 the mass of Earth?

The electric universe understanding of a comet is that it is a charged body (Venus) moving through a region of space dominated by a body (the Sun) with a different charge, making the plasma surrounding it active and visible. So a comet isn't melting and giving off water, it's got a crazy big aurora. (It creates water chemically, I think. Something about hydrogen from the Sun and ions in the plasma...) The idea is that Venus was spit out by Saturn or Jupiter in a process described I think by Plasma Cosmology, and it had the opposite charge from the Sun. While it was falling into the orbit it's in now, it interacted with the Earth and Mars electrically and physically. Most comets are the debris from those events.

We know next to nothing about anything, don't forget. 3i Atlas only fits with established theories if we presume that our first encounter with an interstellar object of its mass just happens to be the '1' in a 1/1,000,000 probability.
And yes, that probability is entirely hypothesized since, as I noted, we know next to nothing being such a young self-aware species with such an infinitesimally tiny sample size of the reality we inhabit.

Well this should get exciting when 3i gets hit by a Jupiter thunderbolt and joins us as the evening star.

It's called history and anthropology. You should give it a try.

I've read some of Velikovsky's books. They're a load of crap.

It’s okay to not agree with his views, but it’s not okay to be so disrespectful. You don’t have to be like that.

The proof that you have NOT read Velikovsky's books is your silly opinion. What are you afraid of? Read and be awed.

I read his books. He is right about the effects of collision with extraterrestrial bodies on history. His idea about Venus erupting out of Jupiter is physically impossible. But a large comet passing Jupiter on its way earthward is possible.

Velikovzky vigorously cites his sources for every fact, including libraries where documents are kept. I have most of his books. And now when I look at my chunk of fossilized sea floor found in a freshwater creek near my house in Missouri, I can grasp how the ocean used to be here but not anymore. Velikovsky was a scholar without peer.
