I believe a NASA and Caltech cosmologist have a theory that Mars and the Earth were in synchronous orbits (360 and 720 day years?), at one time and every (something like) 144 years there would be a near pass by and an energy transfer would occur. And somewhere around 700BC a large transfer occurred that altered the orbits of both planets to where they are now. They supposedly used very sophisticated computer analysis that validates the possibility of this.

I doubt this seriously. This sounds like a lot of New Age hogwash.

Maybeeeee..., But it sounded pretty cool at the time, accounting for a bunch of unexplained events around the world, that happened periodically. I really don't remember much of the details about either the natural solution for events that it provided or the cosmological model that it used. But it seemed very credible at the time, so don't just blow it off. See if you can find more on it and give us a post.

Indeed it is hogwash.
