Continued from the SETI forum...<br /><br /><i>Calli said</i>:<br /><font color="yellow">Actually, although Einstein was very patient with Velikovsky ... he didn't often agree with Velikovsky. </font><br /><br />Actually, there was a lot he did agree with. Have you ever read Velikovsky's books? All of them? He admitted that he was merely hypothesizing about certain things, but there's nothing wrong with that. He was absolutley correct about the radio signals from Jupiter! <br /><br />Look what happened to Hawking recently when he had to retract a theory that he'd been flogging to everyone for years! Did anyone dismiss him as a crackpot?<br /><br />The fact is that some people just can't bear to even consider that a lot of catastrophic events occurred to the earth and our solar system in the relatively recent past. It's as if we're all suffering from a malignant case of cognitive dissonance about our true history because it's just too awful for some people to consider!<br /><br />Getting back to Velikovsky and Einstein.. were you aware that they kept up a correspondence about Worlds in Collision for over 11 years? Einstein actually died with that book opened on his desk. He wasn't as quick to dismiss Velikovsky's ideas as some in this forum seem to suggest.<br /><br />Some of the correspondence between Einstein and Velikovsky can be found at the following site:<br /><br />http://www.varchive.org/cor/einstein/index.htm<br /><br />Also, check out what Freud had to say too:<br /><br />http://www.varchive.org/cor/freud/index.htm<br /><br />In fact, why don't you peruse the entire online collection of correspondence between Velikovsky and numerous eminent professionals who seriously considered what he had to say..<br /><br />http://www.varchive.org/cor/index.htm<br /><br />You
