Immanuel Velikovsky & Kepler's law of Planetary Motion

[AnAncientAwakening]

What is the take of those here regarding the work of Immanuel Velikovsky and his particular outline of the historical events of 1500 and 800 B.C., respectively (time frame obviously up for debate)? Essentially - The theory of cataclysmic events on Earth caused by the comet Venus breaking away from Jupiter, disrupting the orbit of Earth, and later making close contact with Mars, disrupting its orbit, thus causing Mars to also have a close encounter with Earth; all of this causing upheaval on our planet before such time as both Mars and Venus eventually settled down into their current orbits.

During a recent conversation at the dinner table, someone stated that such a series of events would not have been possible due to Kepler's Law of Planetary Motion (not sure how the argument adds up, as Kepler's basic laws make no mention of exactly 'how' planets settle into orbit, only how they act once they are there).

To further expand - What is Larson's take on this topic? Taking into consideration the existence of the temporal/cosmic realm, how does the Reciprocal System explain the settling of planets into elliptical orbits?

It works the same as atomic cohesion of atoms to form a molecule. You couldn't knock the planets out of their orbits even if you filled Antarctica with rocket engines and blasted away, as they did in Gorath.

The RS is based on speed (motion). The inward pull of the sun (a speed, inward in space) is balanced by the outward motion of the planetary core (temporal gravitation--outward in space). So if you were to push the Earth closer to the sun, the "motor" in the planetary core would run faster, pushing it back out. If you pull it away from the sun, it slows down and the sun's gravitation pulls it back. The orbit is the point of equilibrium.

But that does not invalidate Velikovsky (his assistant, Jan Sammer, is a big Larson/RS supporter), because that only holds true for planets and other bodies that have a core in the ultra-high speed range (motion in time). Supernova remnants, such as the Arks used by the explorers of the Universe, are moon-sized and can move freely through the solar system--because they are under intelligent control of the push/pull effects. (For example, the L-M "Great Ark" is often mistaken for the planet Vulcan, sometimes seen crossing the disc of the sun inside the orbit of Mercury.)

You know what, we need to expose some sci-fi writers to some of the work you guys do daniel. Like how orbits work and how what we think are galaxies are actually solar systems etc. We need to expose more people to these concepts - the inquisitive minds will look for the possibilities and even facts behind it even though others just go for the entertainment side of it.

I understand this is seriously scientific stuff. But I also feel there's immense value in any form of exposure of these things simply because exposing people to completely different ways of thinking about reality will open doors to exploring that and lessen resistance against these "foreign" concepts.
