Equatorial bulge and tilt

The Forces of Nature by Kelland Terry, Ph.D.

Earth’s gravitons retracting back to source are trying their best to make Earth into a perfectly round sphere; however, the tug between Earth and Sun caused the planet to bulge along its equator directly towards the Sun. Since Earth’s equatorial bulge is no longer directed at the Sun, it seems likely that the bulge came first, then tilt. This idea fits my model for tilt.

The equatorial bulge gives the planet a unique configuration that allows the Sun’s gravitons to interact with the planet in a very special way. In the following diagram for aphelion, Earth is moving away from the viewer and the planet is spinning counterclockwise on its axis.



There is a gradient along the axis. At the upper side, the force of attraction favors tilt, while gravitons pulling on the bottom of the planet are attempting to reverse tilt; however, overall the force of attraction favors tilt.

The force of attraction favors tilt at aphelion and perihelion, which the reader can verify by making a drawing for Earth’s position at perihelion.

The opposite is true for repulsion forces, which I will analyze in my next blog. Till then be safe and in good health. Kelland—www.vestheory.com

Tilting planets have a strange story

The Forces of Nature by Kelland Terry, Ph.D.
Most of the planets in our solar system tilt on their axes, but the degree of tilt is very variable. Do elastic strings cause tilt, and if so, how?

There are five planets in our solar system that have a 20 degree or more tilt on their axes: Earth, Mars, Saturn, Neptune, and Pluto, well maybe Pluto is an asteroid. Three other planets have little or no tilt (Mercury, Venus, and Jupiter), and in the case of Uranus, the manner of tilt is completely unlike any other planet in the solar system. Scientists believe Uranus met with some cataclysmic event that makes its orientation different from the other eight planets. I ran a regression analysis to determine whether degree of tilt was associated with distance from the Sun for the five planets listed in the table below.



R squared in this analysis was 0.991, which means tilt is highly correlated with distance from the Sun. Scientists believe our Moon influences Earth’s tilt, which would explain why predictions are slightly out of whack for Earth and Mars.

The force of attraction in comparison to the forces of repulsion also increases with distance, which I review in my next blog. Till then be safe and in good health. Kelland—www.vestheory.com
