Worlds In Collision			Back to top
Year : 1978	Type : Films	Colorization : color	Length : 47 min. 2 reels
In 1962, the Russian space probe to Venus sent back the remarkable information that the planet's temperature was 800 degrees higher than expected and that it revolved in the opposite direction to all the other planets. The scientific community was amazed, but there was one thinker who was not surprised: Immanuel Velikovsky, a little-known American who had made these predictions more than ten years before. For the first time many Americans began to take Velikovsky seriously, and since then more verified predictions - such as the composition of moonrocks and the surface of Mars - have brought about further acceptance. Most scientists, however, maintain that Velikovsky's ideas are ludicrous, mainly because his theory - which states that Venus is a planet of relatively recent origin - is largely constructed from Biblical and historical evidence. top of page
