EXAMPLE 2. PLANETARY ROTATION SYNCHRONIZED WITH THE EARTH YEAR.

Here is a list of The Moon and the planets going out as far as Jupiter, together with their rotation periods (expressed in Earth days):- Mercury 58.6462 and Venus 243.0187 and Earth 0.9972697 and the Moon 27.32166 and Mars 1.02596 and Jupiter 0.41354 The Earth Year = 365.256 Earth days.

(A). During One Earth Year, Mercury rotates 6 rotations + a residual angle of 82.13 degrees.

(B). During One Earth Year, Venus rotates 1 rotation + a residual angle of 181.1 degrees.

(C). During One Earth Year, Earth rotates 366 rotations + a residual angle of 92.3 degrees.

(D). During One Earth Year, The Moon rotates 13 rotations + a residual angle of 132.7 degrees.

(E). During One Earth Year, Mars rotates 356 rotations + a residual angle of 5.1 degrees.

(F). During One Earth Year, Jupiter rotates 883 rotations + a residual angle of 87.5 degrees.

(Note:- The rotation periods of Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are not measured accurately enough to be included in this example; and we will treat Pluto as a Trans-Neptunian Object, rather than a planet for this example.)

Sample calculation – The Moon:- 365.256 ÷ 27.32166 = 13.3687 and 0.3687 x 360 = 132.7 degrees. That is:- 13 rotations + a residual angle of 132.7 degrees.

When you depict each of these six angles as a (single line) radius, the six radiuses SHOULD be randomly distributed. They should look something like this:-

The material on this web site is also available in the book Astronomy - The Dishonest Science, by Roger Elliott (available on Amazon).

However, they are NOT randomly distributed. Instead, they look like this:-

Once again, it is glaringly, blindingly obvious that these residual angles are NOT randomly distributed, as they absolutely SHOULD be if the principles of Newtonian Physics alone governed the movements of celestial bodies. (The gravitational field of Earth is insufficiently strong to alter the rotation periods of all these separate bodies.) Once again, these residual angles all (mysteriously) “hug” the octants. “Something else” (other than Newtonian Physics) is influencing and dictating the movements of these planets.

The statistical odds against all six residual angles “hugging” the octants so closely is calculated in the following manner:- The largest “deviation” is 7.87 degrees (Mercury). In that case, the odds against chance occurrence are 1 chance in

1 ÷ [[(7.87 x 2 x 8) ÷ 360]⁶] = 546 (1 chance in 546). In fact, the odds are longer than this, because many of the residual angles are closer to an octant than 7.87 degrees.

To verify numerical data, go to Appendix 2, Section 3. (Note:- Numerical data verification is only available in the book.)

If we combine the results of Examples 1 and 2, the probability calculation is as follows:-

We have 14 residual angles in all, all of them relating to The Earth Year.

1 ÷ [[(9.4 x 2 x 8) ÷ 360]¹⁴] = 202,658

That is odds against chance occurrence of One Chance in Two Hundred Thousand!

Alternatively you might want to exclude The Moon (so as to only include the relationships between The Earth Year and planetary orbital periods, and between The Earth Year and planetary rotation periods – at least those planetary rotation periods that can be accurately measured). In that case, the calculation is as follows:-

1 ÷ [[(9.4 x 2 x 8) ÷ 360]¹³] = 84,666

That is odds against chance occurrence of One Chance in Eighty Four Thousand!

In the next example, you will see some more residual angles that are clearly NOT randomly distributed – and they defy randomness IN EXACTLY THE SAME MANNER, all, once again, “hugging” the octants.
