EXAMPLE 25. THE PLUTO SATELLITES – THEIR MOVEMENTS SYNCHRONIZED WITH THE EARTH DAY.
Pluto has Five Satellites. Here are their names, and their orbital periods (expressed in Earth days):- Charon 6.387230 and Styx 20.16155 and Nix 24.85463 and Kerberos 32.16756 and Hydra 38.20177
During FOUR Earth days,
(A). Charon revolves an angle of 225.45 degrees.
Styx and Nix both “fail” The Octant Rule.
(B). Kerberos revolves an angle of 44.77 degrees.
(C). Hydra revolves an angle of 37.7 degrees.
Sample calculation:- (A). 4 ÷ 6.387230 = 0.62625 revolutions of Charon, and 0.62625 x 360 = an angle of 225.45 degrees.
When you depict each of these three angles as a (single line) radius, the three radiuses look like this:-
The material on this web site is also available in the book Astronomy - The Dishonest Science, by Roger Elliott (available on Amazon).
Once again, it is glaringly, blindingly obvious that these 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 or affect the revolution periods of distant satellites.) Once again, these 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 these angles “hugging” the octants so closely are in excess of 1 chance in 260. These odds are calculated in the following manner:- Focussing only on items A and B, the largest deviation from an octant is 0.45 degrees (Charon).
Number of trials = n = 5 and number of successful trials = r = 2 and the probability that any single specific trial will be successful = p = (0.45 x 2 x 8) ÷ 360 = 0.02 and the probability that any single specific trial will be unsuccessful = 1 minus p = 0.98
p(r ≥ 2) = 5C2 x 0.983 x 0.022 = 0.003765
+ 5C3 x 0.982 x 0.023 = 0.0000768
SUM = 0.003842 or 1 chance in 260.
However, it could be argued that these satellites (which are relatively close to one another) can easily influence the movements of one another by gravitational attraction and “tidal friction”, and that being the case, their movements could be synchronized with the movements of Earth purely by chance. This argument is undermined by the fact that ALL the satellites of (just about) EVERY planet have their movements synchronized with the movements of Earth.
To verify the numerical data in this example, go to Appendix 2, Section 4 for Pluto satellites. (Note:- Numerical data verification is only available in the book.)
