I hope you don’t mind me saying that it is full of gibberish.

I agree. There is about 10% good points and the rest unsubstantiated speculation. There is a great deal of speculation on planet orbits being influenced by the major planets. I have a hard time seeing planet influence overpowering the gravity of the sun.

“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.
