Planetary Formation and Orbital Spacing

Original Version for Printing

  Mankind has long pondered theories on the creation of planetary systems and the spacing of the orbits around solar masses. The most accepted theory has planets coalescing out of a flat disk of gas and matter debris that rotates around new forming stars. According to Kepler’s Laws, rings of gas and matter gather at specific distances in these disks from the solar mass, these points are where the planets will try and form. All of which is inaccurate. 

Creation from a whirling spinning gaseous  nebula with a star forming at its center

Rings coalesce from gaseous matter, the predecessors of planets

   What mankind does not know is that stars and planets start out indistinguishable in their formation. All cosmic objects immediately coalesce after the local big bang and incubate in the dense hydrogen nebula clouds expanding out of the big bang. Heavy elements gather and merge creating an ever growing mass. This process is accelerated exponentially by gravity particles flowing towards the new mass gathering new matter. Continuing until, all available heavy elements and light gases have been assimilated by cosmic objects of varied size and composition. An example would be that planets are infants in their development and locked there, while stars continue to grow and evolved to adults. All cosmic objects are drifting aimlessly or locked in a mutual gravitational attraction between cosmic masses pivoting around an imaginary center of the masses for all objects in various stages of development in the dense gaseous clouds. Shortly after a localize Big Bang has occurred in that area of the Universe. It is only the gravitational force of the solar masses that captures the immature cosmic objects, planets and debris that initiates a planetary system. The disks of debris rotating around solar mass, already has formed planets contained within them. They are not responsible for creation of planets, but they do add mass to the captured planets when sharing the same orbit. The planets also in turn capture moons and if of a sufficient mass maintain fields of small debris in the shape of rings. Most star systems are binary at a minimum. So how would these disks of planetary matter develop planets in multiple stellar gravitational fields? A conflicting process of planet building would occur under established theories, disturbing the current views of scientists.

  Kepler’s Law does not predict orbital spacing as mankind assumes. In some systems duel planets reside in the same orbit always hidden on the other side of the solar object. Orbital spacing is reliant upon equilibrium of the gravitational and repulsion forces generated between cosmic bodies in the area. Lets examine our solar system for an example. If the mass of the Sun would increase substantially, the orbits of the planets present would shift inward due to the increased gravitational force before the repulsion force would invoke to maintain their orbits. A more applicable example would be to interchange the orbits of Jupiter and Venus, and see how this would affect the spacing of the planets. Jupiter would ride in an orbit larger than Venus present position. Mercury’s orbit around the Sun would shrink due to the large repulsion force pushing inward from Jupiter. The planets beyond Jupiter starting with Earth would fan out into new positions. Of course this scenario would be short lived, because Jupiter’s light elements would boil off and escape into space leaving only its rocky core, thus another terrestrial planet would develop.

   Examining a detailed growth cycle and its many variations of a cosmic object, I will set the time clock to shortly before a localized Big Bang will occur. In a random sector of the universe, a black hole of galactic proportions has cannibalized all matter and energy in the local galactic area. Scientist has been documenting black holes at the centers of galaxies, but still have yet to discover the link. This initiates a gravitational force that constricts molecular movement in the core. Pressures immediately build as particles overload the core past the black hole’s gravitational containment field and it explodes releasing all mass into a localized Big Bang. Dispersing matter and energy in a 360-degree spherical random pattern, reseeding what was once an empty void due to the original black hole. A renewed mix of elements now expands from the origin of the local big bang, with the heavy elements due to their heavier mass, starting the coalescing process first for formation of cosmic objects. From the inception of its creation, the rocky core, the starting essence of the cosmic object has four main qualities to its development. The qualities are its permeation of hydrogen core anomalies to heavy elements, whether those core anomalies are homogeneous in size and density, the final size, and density of the rocky core when developing shortly after the big bang. It is the permeation ratio of hydrogen to heavy elements in this development phase that determines the future potential of a cosmic object. A high ratio would be a prerequisite for fusion reactions going from blue stellar objects to the low level of red stars. The rocky cores developing due to the forces of gravity in a dense hydrogen primordial nebula would have it mass permeated with dense hydrogen gas the closer it formed to time 0. Visualizing this process, lets look at a cubic unit of a rocky mass potential from time 0, the inception of the big bang as it expands outward as time progresses. In this first phase of development, close to time zero hydrogen is trapped in the cores of heavy elements in varying degrees of concentrations and sizes because equilibrium has not been achieved as matter continues to expands and density of light elements like hydrogen and helium drops. The ratio of hydrogen gas to heavy elements mixing in the core decreases in a cosmic mass. This ratio of hydrogen gas to the other heavy elements in the core and its size in relation to the total mass is a key factor in determining potential for a cosmic mass to light. A star will not light if the heavy elements dampen the fusion process from initiating or the process sputters at a low level the stellar mass would absorb all internal energy before it reaches the surface where it radiates energy. It is only detectable by presence of its gravitational affects. From there are many variations of brown dwarfs, which would occur until internal heat was not produced by fusion similar to our planet. On rare occasions the rocky core grows quickly in an area that is rich in heavy elements with a mix light elements, but the latter stages of growth for the cosmic object is in an area depleted of hydrogen nebula. Resulting in a terrestrial planet growing to a size like similar to the planet Uranus. The seed core during the initial coalescing trapped sufficient hydrogen fuel in proportion to the heavy elements, compressed by gravity of the cosmic mass, ignites and proceeds at a slow controlled burn. Creating an object that releases heat and sometimes-diffused light, it is what mankind refers to as a Brown Dwarf. As the size of the rocky mass or potential core grows the type of potential cosmic object created moves with it. First, small objects like moons, terrestrial planets develop in the absence of hydrogen gas nebula, but upon passing a critical point of mass accumulation by its gravitational force, the rocky object begins to gather massive amounts of hydrogen gas around the future core if available in the general area. The object then migrates into a new path of development on a small scale a gas planet and on the other extreme a stellar giant. On the extreme end when massive fragments heavy elements, ejected from explosion coalesce first in very rich, dense, light element medium. The cores have accelerated their growth due to the abundance of heavy elements within gravitational reach of the initial core, gives rise to the large massive solar objects, the Giants. As the light elements try to achieve equilibrium in the expanding gaseous nebula, the heavy elements surround and trap them in pockets of varying to stable pressure concentrations. On occasion, the anomalies in the size and concentration pockets of light elements permeating the core give rise to an uneven flow of fusion production, thus the variable star. This constant contraction and expansion of the core cascades events into further turmoil, as the star brightens and ebbs according to an availability of an unpredictable energy source.
