ZetaTalk: Science

creatures pondering this scenario as the spiral would not take all that long! This spiral is what happens to your Earth

orbiting satellites, which are often kept aloft only due to a puff now and then from the jets built into them. Left alone,

they spiral to Earth, the gravity tug affecting their forward motion each instant. The gravity tug is not strictly a

sideways tug, as in all cases the planet's path is pointed away from the sun, however slightly. For any given instant

moment:

1. draw a line representing the planet's straight line path,

2. draw a second line representing the path the planet is being set upon by the gravity tug, essentially a second

tangent to the sun,

3. the angle between these two lines is the degree of backward tug that the planet is experiencing.

Thus, there is erosion in the forward motion, which is not a thing but a reaction. In order to keep the planet

continuously revolving, there must be a push, and a push there is. It is caused by the swirling matter in the sun's core, which creates fields of influence such as magnetic fields that affect the orbiting planets to varying degrees depending

upon their composition. Why do you suppose that planets orbit all in the same direction? Is it by accident that this

same pattern presents in all solar systems? Retrograde planet motion is the extreme exception, so the fact that planets

invariably revolve in the same direction should be a compelling clue to anyone seeking an explanation for why planets

continue to revolve.

ZetaTalk: Satellite Orbits

Note: written on Mar 15, 1996.

From the Moon, the Earth looks quite round, though is it anything but round. The Earth is lumpy, all her land mass on

one side so that her gravity center is a bit more landside than seaside. And with her waters bulging at the equator, she

tends to be squat with a bit of spread about the middle, so a circling satellite would appear to be lower over the equator

than in fact it actually is, in relationship to the gravity center.

Satellites intended to go round and round over the poles, or anywhere but the exact equator, must be moved out of the

circular path around the Earth's gravity center which they naturally assume. The satellite when launched indeed hugs

the gravity center of the Earth uniformly, circling the lump, but this leaves the satellite masters unhappy as the satellite

is not a uniform distance above the Earth's surface, be it land or water. They then puff the satellite about until it is not

circular about the lump, the gravity center, but is a uniform distance from the surface, be it land or water, in other

words, is an ellipse. The reason they have so much trouble achieving a uniform distance from the surface is not

because the satellite wants to go in an ellipse, but rather the opposite, because it wants to go in a circle about the

gravity center of the lumpy Earth. It has to be tweaked out of this into an artificial orbit, into an ellipse!

Earth's center of gravity may have been nicely centered when she first congealed after the local Big Bang, but she is as

centered as a three legged elephant now. The collision that sent her out of her former orbit in the Asteroid Belt and

into the orbit she is currently in left her as oddly shaped as Halley's comet, and only her waters, pooling evenly about

her, covered her scars. Over time she has molded herself, during repeated passages of her big brother, the 12th Planet,

so that her molten core is circular, but her crust is anything but even. Depth of the oceans and distribution of the land

masses is not all there is to it, as the composition of the crust must be factored in also. Lava flows from the depths

have a different composition than the original crust of the Earth, heavier, and where these flows have spewed forth

repeatedly during traumatic times, there is a gravity weight in that direction - the sum of the parts, wherever they may

lie

ZetaTalk: Trajectories

Note: written on Feb 15, 1996.

Trajectories that parallel the surface of a large object exerting a strong gravitational pull lob up, then curve, and finally

drop straight down, upon close examination. Some shots low to the ground barely get into their downward drop before

arriving on the surface, and thus this point is missed on those not astute. But videotaped trajectories, examined in a

frame by frame manner, display this scenario:

The object desires to go in a straight line, in the direction pointed in and impelled.

As the gravity pull is at its side, the straight line is diminished into a curve, as the drop of the object due to

gravity is superimposed on the trajectory. The magical curve, in fact, is a combination of linear momentum and

gravity drop.

When the object reaches its apex, the linear momentum no longer is away from the gravitational giant, as the
