Human astrophysics has two discomfiting notions they use as guides. They can't put these notions together, so like two passengers in the back seat of a car who can't talk to each other, they stare out opposite windows and pretend the other doesn't exist.

  1. The first notion is that the orbit of planets is due to a state of equilibrium between the gravity pull of the sun and an original straight-line forward motion of the planet which got caught in the gravity of the sun to the extent that it is in a perpetual tug of war between this gravity pull and its momentum on the original path. The fact that, almost invariably, all the planets orbit in the same direction is presumed to be due to the original path of the planets being conveniently all in the same direction. Conveniently, that is, for the notion.
  2. The second notion describes another phenomenon that is also visible and measurable to humans - perturbations. Perturbations are known to man as they can observe and record the actions of two planets passing each other in their orbits. The smaller one will speed up upon approach to the larger, due to the gravity tug between the two, and after passing will slow down in a comparable manner, lingering as it were. The LARGER planet has also been perturbed, and however slightly has slowed to meet the approaching smaller planet and likewise will try to tag along with the exiting smaller planet. If neither planet were in motion, it could be argued that the speed of the orbits should net out so they are returned to the same point. Both planet orbits have also altered in their SHAPES, but as this challenges the first human notion it is never addressed.

There are several problems for humans here, none of which are addressed due to the discomfit factor. We will deal with these issues on separate posts as a single post would get lengthy.
