The Forces of Nature by Kelland Terry, Ph.D.
Mercury orbits closer to the Sun than any other planet in our solar system. In addition, its elliptical orbit is very pronounced, which changes the angles the planet must negotiate as it circles the Sun. The displacement angle taken by the planet as it rounds perihelion is 1.5 times greater than at aphelion. In addition, there is a 2.3 fold increase in the Sun’s graviton concentration at perihelion versus aphelion. I believe these two factors are responsible for the 0.00000396 increase in the repulsion force between aphelion and perihelion, as explained in the previous blog.
Because the repulsion force at perihelion forces the planet away from the Sun just a tad more than expected, it takes longer for the planet to reach the point where it is nearest the Sun; at aphelion the opposite occurs. Both of these factors work to constantly change Mercury’s orbit.
Mercury is not the only satellite that experiences an advancing perihelion. At this time, I only have data for three other satellites. Venus advances 8.4 arc seconds per century, Earth 5.0 arc seconds, and Icarus (an asteroid) 9.8 arc seconds. This gives me four satellites that I can examine using regression analysis, as explained in my next blog. The results are beautiful. Till then be safe and in good health. Kelland—www.vestheory.com

Planet Mercury does not obey universal law of gravitation
The Forces of Nature by Kelland Terry, Ph.D.
Mercury’s rotation about the Sun constantly changes. The point it is closest to the Sun advances forward in space with every rotation. Most of this change is due to the tug and pull of other solar bodies; however, there are 43 arc seconds per century that can not be explained in this manner. Einstein proposed that the 43 arc seconds discrepancy can be explained by his general theory of relativity. This view is not shared by all scientists in the field as explained in my book.
In 1958, Coleman, a former physics professor at UCLA, calculated that Mercury’s 43 arc seconds discrepancy can be explained if the difference in the force of attraction between Sun and planet at aphelion versus perihelion does not follow the universal law of gravitation. If the force of attraction at perihelion, when the planet it closest to the Sun, is 0.00000396 less than expected, this would completely explain Mercury’s strange orbit thought due to relativity. I propose this is the difference in repulsion forces experienced by the planet at aphelion versus perihelion.
When the planet is closest to the Sun, the repulsion forces push it away more than average, which serves to advance the perihelion point. At aphelion the opposite occurs and Mercury is pulled in towards the Sun more than average. Both serve to advance the perihelion point of Mercury. In future blogs, I will present strong evidence to support this contention. Till then be safe and in good health. Kelland—www.vestheory.com

Triton’s fate is doomed
The Forces of Nature by Kelland Terry, Ph.D.
In the normal situation, a satellite rotates around a central body in the same direction as the central body spins on its axis. This is similar to the hula hoop spinning around a rotating waist. The human body and hula hoop are both rotating in the same direction because body and hoop are in physical contact. What would happen if the hoop is acted upon by some mysterious force that caused it to rotate in the opposite direction? Obviously, the hula hoop would quickly come to a rest and fall to the ground because the human waist is spinning in the opposite direction. This is the exact situation we find for Triton, a moon of Neptune.
Neptune is spinning in one direction, and Triton is rotating about the planet in the opposite direction. Perhaps Triton was captured by Neptune, or perhaps its reverse, abnormal rotation was caused by some cataclysmic event. We can’t say how this relationship came about, we only know that at the present time Triton is rotating one direction and Neptune is spinning in the opposite direction.
Triton has a very fast rate of rotation, some 25,765 meters per second, while Neptune is spinning in the opposite direction at 2685 meters per second. Neptune is an extremely large planet, and much like the human body, it is attempting to reverse Triton’s direction of rotation. This is causing Triton to spiral into the planet at a noticeable rate as it loses angular momentum. Triton’s fate is doomed. Kelland—www.vestheory.com

Elastic strings help explain a run-away Moon
The Forces of Nature by Kelland Terry, Ph.D.
There are two methods by which elastic strings might cause satellite migration. First, in a previous blog, I explained how satellites meet with repulsion forces. This means the Moon in orbit about the Earth will meet with some modest repulsion force as it encounters the Earth’s graviton in its path. In this case, the Moon will be encouraged to move away from Earth, and Earth’s gravitons will meet with resistance as they retract against the Moon’s surface. This will cause a net transfer of momentum from Earth to Moon, which will cause it to migrate away from Earth a tad every year. It will also cause Earth’s day to grow longer. There is another force at work which is analogous to the hula hoop spinning around a gyrating human body.
A small girl is able to make the hula hoop spin around her body because her body is spinning faster and it weighs more than the hula hoop. The human wins out, and the hula hoop in contact with the gyrating body spins in the same direction the body rotates. In this system, a portion of the angular momentum of the human body is transferred to the hula hoop because of direct contact between hoop and body. To maintain this relationship, the human must expend energy, and of course, it is impossible for the hula hoop to migrate away from the human body even though its angular momentum increases. Let’s examine the Earth-Moon system
Earth spins on its axis at the rate of 463.8 meters per second, while the Moon is orbiting around Earth in the same direction at the rate of 4.6 meters per second. Not only is Earth more massive than the Moon, it also spins 10 times faster. Earth’s gravitons that bind to the Moon will exert a force dragging the Moon through space as the Earth spins on its axis. The Moon is attempting to reverse this force, but the Moon is less massive and its spin rate is 10 times less. The end result is an increase in the Moon’s velocity and angular momentum, which means it will tend to migrate away from Earth (15 inches per year). At the same time, the gravitons retracting back to Earth are impeded, which decreases Earth’s spin on its axis with an increase in the length of the day by 0.002 seconds per century. Thus we have a physical reason for the transfer of momentum from Earth to Moon, and a physical reason why the Moon is slowly migrating away from Earth.
The drag effect Earth has on the Moon works because Earth’s gravitons at its leading edge closest to the Moon are constantly being tightened as Earth spins on its axis. At the same time, those gravitons on the other side of Earth are constantly being loosened as Earth on this side is spinning towards the Moon.

The moon is trying to escape from Earth’s grasp
The Forces of Nature by Kelland Terry, Ph.D.
Our Moon is moving away from Earth 38.2 centimeters (15 inches) every year. Scientists refer to this as satellite migration. Astrophysicists offer this solution. They believe that ocean tides here on Earth slow down the rate Earth spins on its axis. And in fact, the length of the day is increasing 0.002 seconds per century. What they propose is this: Earth loses momentum every year as its rate of spin decreases because of ocean tides. This momentum is transferred to the Moon which causes the Moon to move away from us. There is an important problem with this interpretation.
Astrophysicists offer us no physical explanation for the transfer of momentum; just that it is transferred, which keeps the sum total of angular momentum constant. Think of a person playing with a hula hoop. The energy of the gyrating individual is transferred to the hoop which causes it to spin. The transfer of energy in this situation is obvious. The individual must be in direct contact with the hoop; otherwise the hoop will stop spinning.
If there is no physical contact between Earth and Moon, why should the movement of our tides influence migration?
Second, some astrophysicists have proposed that the slow spin rate of Venus and Mercury might be due to the tidal interaction between these planets and the Sun. However, tides cannot be responsible for this observation because Venus and Mercury have no oceans, which means tides would have to occur in solid bodies. Or paraphrasing Shakespeare “something must be wrong in Denmark”. Kelland—www.vestheory.com

Repulsion forces between satellite and central body.
The Forces of Nature by Kelland Terry, Ph.D.
The elliptical orbits of the satellites in our solar system cause the satellites to collide at an angle with the Sun’s gravitons. This exerts a slight outward pressure forcing the satellite away from the central body. There are two main factors that influence the repulsion force: The concentration of the Sun’s gravitons that the satellite must negotiate its way through, and the sharpness of the angle taken by the satellite as it rounds the Sun. The greater the angle of displacement, the greater the repulsion force. It is somewhat analogous to a boat crossing a river. If the boat heads directly across stream, the force of the water on the side of the boat may well cause you to capsize; whereas, if you take a less direct route, the crossing is easier.
Because all planets have an elliptical orbit, there is one point where the planet is closest to the Sun (perihelion) and another point where it is at maximum distance from the Sun (aphelion). At perihelion, the concentration of the Sun’s gravitons is greatest and the angles taken by the planet in orbit are the most acute. At this point, there will be maximum repulsion. At aphelion, the concentration of the Sun’s gravitons is least and the angle of displacement is least, which means the force of repulsion will be least.
This repulsion force is very small compared to the force of attraction between satellite and central body; however, it helps to explain several observations in our solar system: satellite migration, Mercury’s strange orbit, planet tilt on axis, and Earth’s polar wobble on axis. I will discuss each one in separate blogs.

Why do planets rotate in the same plane?
The Forces of Nature by Kelland Terry, Ph.D.
When we were kids and not plugged into a TV, we frequently had to invent something to do. On occasion I tied a string to a tin can filled with dirt. I then caused the can to rotate around my head by rotating my hand. The rotating can came to rest in a plane dictated by my rotating hand. Obviously, I had too much time on my hands, or perhaps this activity relieved me of hoeing the garden for a few minutes. Now I see that the rotating tin can is analogous to the rotation of the planets in our solar system.
The planets in our solar system tend to rotate in a similar plane like tops on a table. This occurs because the planets are physically connected to the Sun with graviton strings, just like the tin can was physically connected to my hand by a string. As the Sun spins on its axis, it drags the planets through space, which causes them to move into the same alignment like tops spinning on a table. The Sun is a huge massive body, and it spins faster than the planets rotate. This allows the spinning Sun to dictate the plane of rotation for all the planets in the solar system.
