Humans think that because mankind spots comets as they loom into range, announcing themselves by outgassing

as they enter the Solar System, that human scientists know where the comet has been, and know what its orbit

has been. They do not. They can't find these tiny dark specks when they are out in space. When they catch sight

of them, the comet orbits are already taking into account their sensitivity to the solar wind. This curve starts well

outside the Solar System, a fact known by astronomers.

Humans think that a comet's orbit is maintained by its momentum. Of the factors affecting a tiny comet that

approaches the Sun, the force of its current momentum is not dominant. Any child who has thrown a ball and

watched it drop toward the Earth as it sped along its trajectory can sense this. Archers allow for this in

attempting to hit their target, aiming above the trajectory to account for the drop. Momentum is an effect, not a

cause. What caused the momentum if not gravity. A ball thrown in space, where there is no gravitational

influences nearby, will continue apace, but a gravity pull behind its path will slow it down. When a comet is

leaving your Solar System, it is heading at an essentially straight line away. Gravity behind the comet slows it

down, and thus the momentum disappears.

Humans see but what is essentially the end result of a comet's orbit, or at least that portion of the orbit that

involves the Sun's gravity. The tiny comet, dark until it enters the Solar System where it flares under the

influence of the Sun, cannot be located by humans while it is out in space. They assume that the orbit is broader

or at least as broad, when out in space, as that seen when the comet becomes visible. It is not. As we have

explained in detailing the 12th Planet's entry into the Solar System, comets aim for the Sun, and if influenced

away from the Sun by any factor, adjust their orbit away from the Sun. Then, as they near the Sun and, caught in

the grip of this giant's gravity pull, accelerate, the increasing speed allows them to come closer. Humans only see

that part of the orbit where the initial adjustment away from the Sun has already occurred. They see but half the

picture.

The human argument that the long orbit can be determined by the angle of entry, the parabolic curve, is therefore

absurd. Some long period comets have several foci, and some only one. Just how does blind man, peeping up from a

planet he cannot leave, looking out from a Solar System he has never left, know how many foci this or that comet

has? Since a parabola and even an ellipse smoothes to an essentially straight line, how do they know how far that

straight line goes before a turn around is effected? They do not. They are guessing.

ZetaTalk: Ephemeris

Note: written on Oct 15, 1995. Planet X and the 12th Planet are one and the same.

Ephemeris are mankind's best efforts at predicting the behavior of comets. They take into consideration the direction

and speed of a comet, when first sighted, and apply math that has proved true of previous comets. Most of the time

this works. When it does not astronomers tell themselves a variable came into play, such as the gravitational pull of a

nearby planet or that something internal within the comet caused it to behave in an abnormal manner. The ephemeris

are assumed to be correct. They are not. Humans have backed into their formulas for explaining the motion of the

planets, and gravity on the surface of their planet. They tried one theory on after another, until one seemed to work

most of the time. Then they congratulate themselves on arriving at the ultimate answer, which will stay on the pedestal

until it fails to answer some physical phenomena, new to their arena.

The human understanding of Orbital Physics is based on what they have observed. They backed into their

understanding, their mathematical theories, based on what they had seen. Thus, when they plot the orbit of an object

tracking in a familiar manner, they plot it reasonably well. This does not mean that the math is accurate or correct. It

only means that their descriptions, up until now, have worked in the main. We are not saying that human equations fail

to predict comet orbits. We say the base understanding of the full comet orbit is incomplete. We say the theories about

where comets come from is incorrect. We say the explanation of why comets don't all go into the Sun is wrong. If the

mailman comes by each morning about 10:00 o'clock, the child may make up any number of complicated theories

about why and how the mailman's route is as it is. Then, when the mailman arrives the next day, on time, the child

congratulates himself.

Ephemeris assume, first, that comets are attracted to the Sun, are aiming for it, but miss. What nonsense! Why do they

miss? Did the Sun move out of the way? Where a planet the size of the 12th Planet is likewise aiming for the Sun but

misses because of the repulsion force, smaller comets do not have the required mass to invoke a repulsion force in the

Sun. Small comets miss because they by nature contain elements that are sensitive to the solar wind, and can no more

come close to the Sun than can mankind walk forward into the full force of a hurricane. Is this not a form of
