Really? The strength of the gravitational force from Mars is incredibly small. How can they realistically justify some kind of resonance condition? I say this is fake science!
I’m with you.
That's the whole concept behind Chaos theory. Small fluctuations can change things greatly over time.
Say for example, that the gravitational pull of Mars moved the earth 1mm per year. Over a few hundred million years, it would have moved it a few hundred million millimeters. On top of that, when earth is moved a few hundred million millimeters, the movement could accelerate from 1mm per year in my example to 2mm per year.
I'm obviously picking numbers out of the air, but you get my point.
