This is the cover of my book self published by Author House.
I wanted to share my many years of efforts to delve into the workings of the Solar System in a way that was different than commonly used and was intended to reveal much more detail than had been discussed before. My view that the Solar System was a mechanical wonder was in line with the work of Isaac Newton but not approached in the same way as his grand theory of universal Gravitation. I was looking for a more simplistic approach and after a lot of trial an error I found it by using miles instead of meters as a key to unraveling data that would relate both to distance and time factors. After rushing this book to print at a time when I was concerned with my life prospects I realized I had a lot more that I wanted to discuss as to my previous work but also relating to my work that continued unabated until the present. The progress in physics tends to turn away from the mechanical nature of the Solar System as Astronomers want to delve in the Universe as an area of study. My contentions prove that the this Solar System is like a big machine.
Solar System Magic
The American Chronicle ® has accepted a number of my previous articles for publication. These articles are not always easily found when searching but you can see a list of them if you go there, and look for James Wood,
Americanchronicle.com/authors. Up to now I have been taking excerpts from my work on a new book seeking to stir up some interest in my ideas. If you check it out you will find a number of articles on a variety of subjects dealing with the workings of the Solar System as I see it. It is my intention to include these discussions in this Web Site as I create them.
It is worth noting that I do not offer my ideas as an intended means of controversy to the established physics of the Solar System. There are differences and these must await the test of eventual discovery that prove them accurate or inaccurate. My surprise has been how little has been said to me or argued in opposing articles offering why my contentions are faulty. All theories must await scientific corroboration and until then the discussion is valid.
For this article I want to share with you the wonder I experience at the flow of numbers when we begin to explore the Solar System in a more detailed way than is normally done. This to me is almost magical. Suppose you were a mathematician in a very ancient society and your King decided he wanted you to develop a numerical system that would be best suited to an easy understanding of the Solar system. How would you go about it? You could create any unit of measure that you thought would work most easily for all of the intricate parts and motions that had to be incorporated. You would require an almost unlimited amount of data on the details of all the solar objects starting from the Sun and working your way out to its limits. If you want to retain accuracy everything in the system must conform to your final determination. Suppose that up to now your society used a measure based on pips with so many pips equal to a pipe. Suppose they measured time in increments of bits with graduations of it to equal tidbits and dabits, yrbits, etc. The point here is that there is no relationship in these measures that provides for the measures to work together in a synergistic way to give results that are meaningful for both the measure of distance with velocity while disclosing time as a part thereof and a result thereof.
Your job is to create this new system of measures that will do all of the things that all existing measures fail to do. Where does one start, not to solve the problem, but simply to adequately think about the possibilities? The prospect is beyond my limited abilities. However, we are the people that have inherited this, or some similar effort, from our ancestors so we need not invent the process but simply try to understand it.
It seems to me the originator settled on the common mile as the primary measure. The Sun seems to be a good place to start and we know that when using miles the diameter is 864,000 miles. We also have a smaller measure called yards and smaller yet called feet. When dealing on such large scales there would be no need for any thing smaller. For time he will decide a day will equal 86,400 seconds and this gets us started on the road to relating time to distance. Using our knowledge of the Solar System data he must convert our old pipes to miles and because he may have lived on Earth this is where he would start. After a lot of trial and error he settles on a diameter for earth at the equator of 7,926.6 miles. This was born of the Sun’s old pipes by numerical relationships. Some how the comparison must be productive. He eventually settles on the Sun’s circumference by multiplying the diameter by 3.1416 to get 2,714,343.4. Testing the Earth value for a diameter he discovers that the Sun’s circumference divided by the Earth’s diameter equals 342.43. The result was not useful until he saw that the old value for the Earth’s orbital velocity, when converted to miles, was 18.505. He eventually realized that 18.505 were the orbital velocity of the Earth as it revolved around the Sun expressed in miles per second. He could have done all of this in reverse starting with the known mean orbital velocity of Earth expressed in pipes and then used his conversions to get the values in miles. We only know for sure that something was done.
This initial discovery was confirmation for our mathematician that he was on the right track. The Sun’s equator was rotating once in about every 25 Earth days. It was time to see if there was any significance in that. One Sun day equal to 25 Earth days times 86,400 seconds = 2,160,000 seconds. In search of confirming data he found that the Sun’s circumference expressed as 2,714,343.4 divided by 2,160,000 seconds provides for a Sun’s equator surface velocity of 1.25664 miles per second, 3.1416 divided by 2.5. This was a measure of confirmation but to test the value of the measurements he required something more significant. He reasoned that if the Sun’s miles circumference measurement divided by the Earth’s diameter measurement worked to provide the orbital velocity of the Earth in miles squared, what would the result be to multiply the Earth’s velocity in miles squared by the mean orbital radius of the Earth? He then tried 342.43 times the revised pipes measurement in miles at 92,961,440 getting 31,832,785,899.2 miles.
Our mathematician knew now that reversing the last procedure provided a means of ascertaining the orbital velocity of the Earth in these new miles by simply dividing the mean orbital radius into 31,832,785,899.2 miles. This had never been possible before he worked it out but it was very obvious to him that the mechanics of the Solar System were somehow built right into the framework of the system. He was encouraged to continue.
Before going further with this effort it was necessary for him to take all of the accumulated knowledge of the time and convert all the published pipes into equivalent miles. All of the time periods for the revolutions and rotation of the planets and satellites had to be converted from bits to seconds, tidbits to hours and dabit’s to days. He knew that the 86,400 seconds would work for changing a dabit to a day for use with miles.
The next step was to apply the previous Earth example to the other planets and to his surprise it worked. By multiplying the mean orbital velocity of each planet squared by the mean orbit radius he was able to duplicate his Earth result for all the planets with only minor differences. He could not see how that would be. It was as if the planets played no part in the Sun/planet relationship because its means the orbital distance predetermined every orbital positions velocity. By trial and error he settled on a final value for the Sun’s mass, expressed in miles of 200,000,000,000 miles (200 billion miles) circumference for a radius of 31,830,914,183.8 miles, that he reasoned was the point in space where an object would orbit the Sun at 1 mile per second. Logic suggested that any object beyond the 1 mps point would orbit the Sun at less than the 1 mps and the farther away the slower the velocity would be. There is no way to know how long it took our determined mathematician to work out these details but we enjoy them now so we know somebody did it. We must understand that the key is in the design of the Solar System and that all our ancient mathematician did was create a yardstick that would reveal the inherent mechanics of the Solar System. Now you have been introduced to my mythical mathematical magician. We should all see some wonder in this without being concerned about how it plays with or against established conclusions.
