Welteislehre
Glacial Cosmogony

He is also remembered today for his pseudoscientific Welteislehre ("World Ice") theory.

He was an early supporter of Hans Hörbiger's Welteislehre, the theory that most bodies in our solar system are covered with ice.

It was a model of one Hans Hoerbiger's crackpot theory of planetary formation, the Welteislehre.

During this period, the name was changed from the Graeco-Latin Glazial-Kosmogonie to the more Germanic Welteislehre [WEL] ("World ice theory").

Welteislehre (World Ice Theory), also known as Glazial-Kosmogonie (Glacial Cosmogony) is a cosmological theory proposed by Hans Hörbiger, an Austrian engineer and inventor.

Paul Hörbiger was born in Budapest, the son of Hans Hörbiger, an engineer who wrote Welteislehre on glacial cosmology, and elder brother of actor Attila Hörbiger.

Scultetus was appointed head of the Ahnenerbe's Meteorology Section by Heinrich Himmler, who was convinced that Hans Hörbiger's "Welteislehre" could be used to provide accurate long-range weather forecasts.

Hörbiger is nowadays chiefly remembered for his Welteislehre ("World Ice") theory, which he first put forward in the 1913 book, Glazial Kosmologie, written in collaboration with amateur astronomer Philipp Fauth.

The Cosmologist is partly based on Hans Hörbiger, creator of the Welteislehre, but the Cosmologist is portrayed as still being alive during Hitler's reign and after World War II, and looks more like Leonardo da Vinci or Socrates than Hörbiger.
