MARS AND EARTH MAY NOT HAVE BEEN EARLY NEIGHBORS

I was just going to mention that Velikovsky had posited that Mars made several close passes to the earth in historic times before settling into its present orbit. I am also reminded that Velikovsky long ago suggested a different timeline for the middle east which is now being more accepted, except by academics, of course. Settled history, like settled science, dare not be questioned!

Thanks MtnClimber. Venus and Mars are alright tonight.

Those Martians were always over borrowing stuff.

A cup of sugar.

A screwdriver.

Some asteroids.

Don’t forget all the Preparation H to treat thos asteroids. . .

A very doubtful hypothesis on Mars creation, but worth an Electric Universe PING

If you want on or off the Electric Universe Ping List, Freepmail me.

Me either. Shifty kind of planet. Now Jupiter. He’s a good ol’boy. Big, funny, got a bunch of moons he has hanging around. Fun dude.

Just a flesh wound

Oddly enough there’s a reason they say it that way.

And then there is this kicker: every solar system surveyed that has planets, the large massive planets (like Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) are all located close to the star, in what would be the ‘habitable’ zone or just outside of it. So far it looks like our system is an exception to the rule.

The answer may lie in looking more closely at outlying theories like the the Electric Universe theory which does explain some of what is other wise not explained.

[Boogieman]

“I have a hard time seeing planet influence overpowering the gravity of the sun.”

Yes, the sun has the largest mass, but all masses in the solar system are affecting each other to some degree as they seek a harmonic equilibrium. Remember also that distance is a factor in the gravitational equation that can become more significant than mass. For example, even though the sun is more massive than the earth, the moon is dominated by the earth’s gravity to a greater degree, simply because it is much closer to the earth.

"...Jupiter’s gravitational pull pushed Mars into its current position."

Oxymoron much...?
