EXAMPLE 1. THE REVOLUTION OF THE PLANETS SYNCHRONIZED WITH EARTH’S REVOLUTION.
There are nine planets. Here are their names, together with their orbital periods (expressed in Earth days):- Mercury 87.9694 and Venus 224.695 and Earth 365.256 and Mars 686.980 and Jupiter 4330.595 and Saturn 10727.160 and Uranus 30717.682 and Neptune 60215.912 and Pluto 90803.66
Using the above data, you can easily verify the following:-
(A). During Mercury’s orbital period, Earth revolves an angle of 86.7 degrees.
(B). During Venus’ orbital period, Earth revolves an angle of 221.47 degrees.
(C). During Mars’ orbital period, Earth revolves 1 revolution + a residual angle of 317.1 degrees.
(D). During Jupiter’s orbital period, Earth revolves 11 revolutions + a residual angle of 308.3 degrees.
(E). During Saturn’s orbital period, Earth revolves 29 revolutions + a residual angle of 132.8 degrees.
(F). During Uranus’ orbital period, Earth revolves 84 revolutions + a residual angle of 35.6 degrees.
(G). During Neptune’s orbital period, Earth revolves 164 revolutions + a residual angle of 309.4 degrees.
(H). During Pluto’s orbital period, Earth revolves 248 revolutions + a residual angle of 216.9 degrees.
Sample calculation for Item (C):- 686.9782 ÷ 365.25636 = 1.8808 and 0.8808 x 360 = 317.1 degrees. That is:- 1 revolution + a residual angle of 317.1 degrees.
When you depict each of these eight residual angles as a (single line) radius, you should have eight radiuses that SHOULD look something like this:-
The material on this web site is also available in the book Astronomy - The Dishonest Science, by Roger Elliott (available on Amazon).
However, in fact, the eight radiuses look like this:-
It is glaringly, blindingly obvious that these eight residual angles are NOT randomly distributed (which they absolutely SHOULD be, if Newtonian Physics alone controls the movements of celestial bodies – (The gravitational field of Earth is insufficiently strong to alter all the planetary orbits!). These residual angles all (mysteriously) “hug” the octants. (This is “The Octants Rule”, which operates throughout The Solar System.) “Something else” (other than Newtonian Physics) is clearly influencing the movements of these planets.
The statistical odds against all eight residual angles “hugging” the octants so closely is calculated in the following manner:- The largest “deviation” is 9.4 degrees (Uranus). In that case, the odds against chance occurrence are 1 chance in
1 ÷ [[(9.4 x 2 x 8) ÷ 360]8] = 1077 (1 chance in 1077). In fact, the odds are longer than this, because many of the residual angles are closer to an octant than 9.4 degrees.
To verify the numerical data, go to Appendix 2, Section 11. (Note:- Numerical data verification is only available in the book.)
In the next example, you will see some more residual angles that are clearly NOT randomly distributed – and they defy randomness IN EXACTLY THE SAME MANNER, all, once again, “hugging” the octants.
