The Legacy of Dr. Immanuel Velikovsky

Few ideas in modern history have been as controversial as those proposed in the 1950s by Dr. Immanuel Velikovsky.  In two extensively researched and sourced volumes—Worlds in Collision in 1950 and Earth in Upheaval in 1955—Dr. Velikovsky presented sound evidence that the historical narrative currently promoted by Academia is woefully lacking, particularly with regard to our understanding of the history of the cosmos, of our own solar system and especially of our planet, Earth.  The currently accepted history is based on long-cherished assumptions about the nature of the universe and the forces governing it, including the assumption that our solar system has been moving in its current clock-like precision since its assumed formation four and half billion years ago.  There are very clear indications as to why that is so in so-called “mainstream” astrophysicists’ insistence that the force of gravity is the only real force shaping the universe, despite the fact that it is, indeed, one of the weakest forces known.

Today, each new discovery in the field of astronomy and astrophysics contradicts the assumption-laden “standard model of cosmology” while simultaneously bolstering the emerging “electric universe model of cosmology”, which has successfully predicted and explained the vast majority of these discoveries by examining them from the perspectives of electrical engineers and plasma physicists.  Much the same can be said regarding archaeology, geology, paleontology and other scientific fields that touch on ancient history.

When Dr. Velikovsky presented his arguments for a cataclysm of global proportions within recorded history, and invoked an extraterrestrial agent for said cataclysm, virtually the entire scientific community in the Western Hemisphere lost its collective mind.
