EXAMPLE 3. THE INNERMOST SATELLITES – THEIR MOVEMENTS SYNCHRONIZED WITH THE EARTH DAY.
The “Superior” Planets (ie:- orbiting outside Earth’s orbit) are:- Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. (We will treat Pluto as a Trans-Neptunian Object, rather than a planet, in this example.) Here is a list of The INNERMOST Satellites for each of these five planets, together with the orbital periods (expressed in Earth days) of these satellites:- Mars’ INNERMOST Satellite is Phobos (0.3189), and Jupiter’s INNERMOST Satellite is Metis (0.294780), and Saturn’s INNERMOST Satellite is Pan (0.57505), and Uranus’ INNERMOST Satellite is Cordelia (0.33503), and Neptune’s INNERMOST Satellite is Naiad (0.294396).
During One Earth day (24 hours):-
(A). Phobos revolves 3 revolutions + a residual angle of 48.8 degrees.
(B). Metis revolves 3 revolutions + a residual angle of 141.2 degrees.
(C). Pan revolves 1 revolution + a residual angle of 266.0 degrees.
(D). Cordelia revolves 2 revolutions + a residual angle of 354.5 degrees.
(E). Naiad revolves 3 revolutions + a residual angle of 142.8 degrees.
Sample calculation – Metis:- 1 ÷ 0.294780 = 3.39236 and 0.39236 x 360 = 141.2 degrees. That is:- 3 revolutions + a residual angle of 141.2 degrees.
When you depict each of these five residual angles as a (single line) radius, the five radiuses 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).
In fact, they look like this:-
Once again, it is glaringly, blindingly obvious that these residual angles are NOT randomly distributed, as they absolutely SHOULD be if Newtonian Physics alone governed the movements of celestial bodies. (The gravitational field of Earth is insufficiently strong to alter the orbital periods of all these separate satellites.) Once again, these residual angles all (mysteriously) “hug” the octants. “Something else” (other than Newtonian Physics) is influencing and dictating the movements of these satellites.
The statistical odds against all five residual angles “hugging” the octants so closely is calculated in the following manner:- The largest “deviation” is 7.8 degrees (Naiad). In that case, the odds against chance occurrence are 1 chance in
1 ÷ [[(7.8 x 2 x 8) ÷ 360]5] = 199 (1 chance in 199). In fact, the odds are longer than this, because many of the residual angles are closer to an octant than 7.8 degrees.
To verify numerical data, go to Appendix 2, Section 2 (for Phobos), Section 5 for Metis, Section 6 for Pan, Section 13 for Cordelia, and Section 7 for Naiad. (Numerical data verification is only available in the book.)
