Correspondence Before the daylight Breaks, When I first ran across any of Velikovskys musical themes it was in this online tidings Before the Day Breaks. In this book Velikovsky writes astir(predicate) his correspondence and conversations with Albert Einstein. I read whatever of this book before ever reading anything else of Velikovsky, or having any idea of what was proposed in his book Worlds in Collision. Before the Day Breaks is a truly well written book, where Velikovskys main argument is that gravity and inertia ar not the only forces acting on the solar system. After Velikovsky make his book Worlds in Collision he has had much difficulty acquire anyone in the scientific community to listen to him. There were numerous accounts of unsporting behavior towards him from many famous scientist. It is ironic that while many state were ignoring him, he was discussing scientific matters with Einstein. While Before the Day Breaks may not have any substantial scientific impact, it does two separate different things. Provide a good insight to some of the prejudices of the general scientific community at that time. Give good clues as to what Einsteins personality was like. ground Info. / History 1895, June 10, Immanuel Velikovsky was born in Vitebsk, Russia 1913 studied medicine at Montpelier, France, 1921 Velikovsky certain a medical degree at the University of Moscow 1921 moved to Berlin, married, modify a journal called Scripta Universitatis atque Bibliothecae Hierosolymitarum, the mathematical-physical section was prepared by Albert Einstein.
