Ted Holden's Catastrophism Web site "An attempt to provide a flavor and sampling of the new branch of science which has evolved from the works of scholars who have been following thelogical trail of historical reconstruction discovered by Immanuel Velikovsky in the 1940's and 1950's." The Immanuel Velikovsky Page Cosmos & Chronos - A Non-Profit Interdisciplinary Research Organization Catastrophism and Immanuel Velikovsky links On The Possibility Of Very Rapid Shifts Of The Poles, by F. Barbiero Evidence exists that the poles have changed position during the past ages. This possibility, however, so far has been disregarded on the basis that such a phenomenon is thought to be physically impossible. The following article shows the possibility of very rapid shifts of the poles due to the impact of astronomical objects as small as a half-kilometer diameter asteroid.
