Planet properties
|
|
| If you have ever been stuck in a car behind a large truck on a dirt highway, you know about turbulence. Sometimes, stones and rocks can be thrown up with enough velocity to shatter a windscreen. | ||
| Trucks such as the forty plus Tonne road trains in the Australian outback can hike along at over 110 kph, with a hundred metre trail of dust behind. | ||
| We also know that such large objects also rapidly compress the density of particles in front of them, causing a kind of shock wave effect. You may have experienced the phenomena of almost being blown over at an underground rail station by the preceding shockwave of an arriving train. | ||
| The space between the Sun and the Earth has no where as many particles per square metre as the lower atmosphere on Earth. In fact the temperature of the upper Earth atmosphere is just -30 degrees Celsius. | ||
| But when we talk about something the size of the Earth, we are talking about a 59,000 million million million tonne truck traveling down the desert highway of space at over 100 km per second. | ||
| In relative terms, even with less particles in space, we are talking about a massive shockwave preceding the Earth and a part of Earth's atmosphere at any particular time that is under much greater pressure than the rest of the atmosphere of the planet. That we have never considered this effect is a crucial misunderstanding of the founding cycles of the weather and everything about our atmosphere and therefore the conditions for life on Earth. | ||
| We know for example that the Sun delivers us radiation as well as het, sunlight and the accompanying hydrogen and helium atoms, the electrons arriving separately. | ||
| What we are saying about the wave front is that pressures increase to such a point that an amazing change in atomic structures occur in the upper atmosphere. When the wavefront corresponds in the same region to high levels of sunlight, we have weak nuclear fusion and strong chemical fusion. When we are further away from the Sun and the wavefront corresponds to the same region, less complex atomic structures are formed. | ||
| 11.8.1 | Different Regions | |
| The closest time the Earth is near the Sun is March and September. These periods also correspond to the times where the Equator is the closest regions to the Sun in our rotation and tilt, along with the wavefront region shifting from the South, to the Centre and then North. | ||
| During this period, we see the hottest and dry period for the Equator as being March to September. We also see the main period of oxygen production in the upper atmosphere. | ||
| The furthest periods for the Earth to the Sun is December and June. Summer in Europe in June and in Australia in December/January. What we see is that in June, it is latitude 23.5 North that is the wavefront region as well as the region with the most exposure to the Sun, the reversal being true for December. In this period, we see less complex atomic structures forming in the atmosphere. | ||
| Alignment of the wavefront and greatest exposure to sunlight. When we see both the wavefront and the exposure to sunlight being the one and the same region, we see hot dry weather at the Equator and hot but balmy weather the further South you go (in Southern summer) and the further North you go (in Northern summer). | ||
| 11.8.2 | The cycle of sunlight and shockwave region | |
| All regions from around 30 degrees latitude South and 30 degrees latitude North undergo the same cycle as below. | ||
| Spring- Thaw (slow warmth) | ||
| Greater exposure to sunlight without shockwave. Gentle beginning. Nestling of life. | ||
| Spring storms- (arrival of wavefront) | ||
| Wave front arrives and takes over while the region is still thawing. Storms are created as less density (still colder than summer) levels of particles are pushed to move. | ||
| Summer | ||
| Wave front now over head along with sunlight= hot days. Hot days come with the advent of summer and the combination of wavefront and greatest density of particles from the Sun. | ||
| Late summer storms | ||
| The angle of greatest sunlight shifts away- for the North, it heads South in Late July, early August. For the South, it heads North in late February, early March. Once again we see storms as the relative density of particles decreases of its own accord, while the pressures remain. | ||
| Autumn chill | ||
| Then we see the wavefront slowly shift and the rapid onset of cold when the wavefront moves away, also contributing to cooler conditions. | ||
| Winter | ||
| Now, both the wavefront and the high density of sunlight particles are being enjoyed by other regions of the Earth. This is the gentlest period of the year. The same is true for the equator but for opposite reasons when the sunlight and wavefront are at their maximum. | ||
| 11.8.3 | The shifting orbit | |
| Thanks to the thinking of Isaac Newton and other great physicists, we now know that the Earth orbits the Sun at a distance of approximately 144 to 147 million miles radius. We also know the gravity effect on the Earth's surface to be around 9.8m per sec, per sec. But has this always been the case? | ||
| Amazingly, the concept that the Earth could orbit at different radial distances from the Sun during its life has never seriously been considered. Nor has the orbit rate of 24 hours per day, nor has the concept of variations in the effects of gravity. | ||
| Yet everything we have considered so far points to the understanding that at different times of its life, the sun has produced more output than input. And during its lifetime, our Sun has also produced less output than it does today. When this occurs- the stronger (denser) the field attraction, the compression of the object occurs- things get closer. | ||
| In other words, during much stronger periods of output by the Sun, the Earth has orbited at distances less than 144 million miles from the Sun. The result would also have been an increase in gravity and a shortening of the day to less than 24 hours. This would have meant much hotter and wetter conditions than the Earth today. It would have favored and even promoted large "cold" blooded creatures with large masses capable of dissipating heat and water-proof. | ||
| The fact remains, the concept that planets can and do alter their orbit distance from the Sun depending upon what is happening with the Sun from its local neighbours is a foreign, yet fundamental concept to contemporary scientists. | ||
| It answers the question- why the dinosaurs were the way they were- not because they could.. because they were the ideal adapted species during a time in the life of the Earth when we were much closer to the Sun, greater gravity and shorter days. | ||
| This understanding should have profound implications on the restructuring of any scientific disciplines on their interpretation of the geological and life history of Earth. | ||
