Interesting explanation of the similarities of worldwide accounts (stories, myths, cave drawings) of global disasters and observable cosmic phenomenon. I don’t know if it’s astrophysically possible without a detailed model of how electromagnetism would have 1) overcome the effects of gravitational forces between celestial bodies, and 2) place Saturn, Mars, and Venus into their current orbits. Standard model cosmology doesn’t take into account large-scale electromagnetism as a factor; it’s all gravity’s show. Electromagnetism in large scales would have to be considered to even get to #1 and #2. That would require decades of research and untold amounts of money, and no one’s going to fund an alternative scientific theory when so many other careers depend on maintaining the orthodox one.

Ah, a renewal of Velikovsky’s stuff. My Mom read his books back in the 1970s and talked to me about them some. I never read his stuff, but I’ve read some reviews of it that more or less confirmed what my Mom said, though she seems to have misunderstand a few items. The outline isn’t hard to find online. I’m not surprised he’s getting another look every now and then. I couldn’t watch the whole thing through, but it’s not a bad review.
I’ve read Earth In Upheaval but not Worlds In Collision, which I understand is the more extensive and detailed one. I’ve heard he got some things demonstrably wrong, but it had to do with things he couldn’t have known about. But the rest is fairly accurate, or inductions that we can’t really be sure about.
