Distinct Features

A previously reported analysis of measurements of radio star scintillations, which showed daily variations dependent on time of year, is here interpreted to be the result of the accretion of interstellar particles by the Sun's gravitational field. After a brief general discussion of the accretion process, the measurements are examined in an attempt to provide an explanation on that basis. Five distinct features exhibited by the scintillation data are interpreted as resulting from particles arriving at the Earth as follows: directly from interstellar space, from a collision region behind the Sun (both directly and after having crossed the Earth's orbit), and from the collision region by a process of accretion in the gravitational field of the Earth. The velocities of certain of these particles are derived by simple applications of vector addition employing the known velocity of the Earth. The collision region is calculated to be located a radial distance of 200 million miles from the Sun.

Using a differential geometric treatment, we analytically derived the expression for De Sitter (geodesic) precession in the elliptical motion of the Earth through the gravitational field of the Sun with Schwarzschild's metric. The expression obtained in this paper in a simple way, using a classical approach, agrees with that given in B. M. Barker and R. F. O'Connell (1970, 1975) in a different setting, using the tools of Newtonian mechanics and the Euler-Lagrange equations.

In Parts I and II, as the result of an analysis of measurements of the scintillations of the radio source in Cassiopeia, it was suggested that interstellar particles, captured by the gravitational field of the Sun, contributed to the observed features. Arguments presented here lead to the conclusion that such particles must be hydrogen atoms. The number of hydrogen atoms reaching the Earth is estimated to be 6 × 1016/m.2/sec. Their energy averages 9 or 22 electron volts, depending on whether or not they are ionized. It is concluded that the effect of this infall on the Earth's ionosphere would be more than adequate to produce scintillations. The location of the radiant, subject to the possibility of some considerable error, is judged to be right ascension 17 hours, declination −30°. Based on this position of the radiant, the velocity of the interstellar hydrogen atoms in the vicinity of the Sun is found to have the components: tangential 28 × 104 m./sec., radial 2 × 104 m./sec., and transverse 0.2 × 104 m./sec, with respect to the plane of our galax

Endogenous Activity

To solve fundamental and applied problems, it is useful to detect signs of external influences on the Solar system from the synchronous responses of the Earth’s shells, using a systemic and interdisciplinary analysis of solar-terrestrial relations - taking into account, along with solar activity and GCR fluxes, the endogenous activity of the Earth due to gravitational effects on the Earth with the sides of the Moon, the Sun and other celestial bodies of the Solar system during its barycentric motion in the gravitational field of the Galaxy, as well as the effects of perturbations on the Solar system as a whole. At the same time, the mechanism, energy, cyclicity, synchronism, change in the shape of the Earth and gravity, polar asymmetry and jump-like manifestations of solar-terrestrial relations, instability of the Earth’s daily rotation become explainable. The Solar system is subject to external influences of gravity of the heavy planets of Jupiter and Saturn in the course of its barycentric motion in the gravitational field of the Galaxy, as well as the bringing in solar system of additional energy when exposed to a heterogeneous interstellar environment.

The Milankovitch or astronomical theory of paleoclimates relates climatic variation to the amount of solar energy available at the Earth's surface. The theory helps explain periodic, climatically related phenomena such as the Pleistocene ice ages. Identification of Milankovitch cyclicity within sediments demonstrates the influence of climate on sedimentation patterns and creates a time frame for the estimation of basin subsidence rates. Spectral analysis of deep sea and ice cores indicates periodic climatic fluctuations during Tertiary and Quaternary times. These fluctuations are strongly cyclical with low frequencies centered at periods around 400 ka and 100 ka together with shorter periodic components of approximately 41 and 21 ka. Lower frequencies reflect eccentricity of the Earth's orbit; 41- and 21-ka components are associated with periodic changes in the tilt of the Earth's axis and the precession of the equinoxes. Astronomically forced glacial eustasy results in distinct stratigraphic units or parasequences of widespread extent. Milankovitch band parasequences occur in both carbonate and clastic shelf systems, including cyclothemic Upper Paleozoic successions of North America. During the 1920's and 30's the Serbian mathematician Milutin Milankovitch studied cyclical variations in three elements of the Earth-Sun geometry: eccentricity, precession, and obliquity, and was able to calculate the Earth's solar radiation history for the past 650 ka (Milankovitch, 1969). Berger (1978, 1980) accurately determined the periodicities of the three orbital variations. Eccentricity—The Earth's orbit around the Sun is an ellipse; this results in the seasons. The eccentricity of the Earth's orbit periodically departs further from a circle and then reverts to almost true circularity. Periodicities are located around 413, 95, 123, and 100 ka. Secondary peaks appear to be located around 50 and 53 ka. There are further important periodicities at 1.23, 2.04, and 3.4 ma (Schwarzacher, 1991). Precession—Precession refers to variation in time of year at which the Earth is nearest the Sun (perihelion). This variation is caused by the Earth wobbling like a top and swiveling on its axis. Periodicities of 23,000, 22,400, 18,980, and 19,610 yr are recognized and often simplified to two periods of 19 and 23 ka. Secondary peaks are also located around 30 and 15 ka.

Squeeze Effect

In our approach we have combined knowledge of Old Masters (working in this field before the year 1905), New Masters (working in this field after the year 1905) and Dissidents under the guidance of Louis de Broglie and David Bohm. Based on the great experimental work of Robert Pound, Glen A. Rebka and J.L. Snider we have proposed a squeezing of the super-elastic double-helix photon in the gravitational field. We have newly defined the squeeze rate of that photon particle on the helical path. We have inserted this squeeze rate into the very-well old formulae of Newton, Soldner, Gerber and Einstein and might glimpse traces of the quantum gravity. The squeeze rate of photons can be studied in details using the Great instrument - the Advanced LIGO - located on the surface of the Earth (USA, Italy, Japan). The observed strains on the level 5*10-19 should be caused by the gravitational field of our Earth. The observed strains on the level 5*10-22 should be caused by the gravitational fields of the Moon and the Sun. We estimate that the experimental value of the gravitational constant G studied by the LIGO instrument can achieve the accuracy to the level of ppb (parts per billion) after the removal of those strains from the measured signal and the removal of the gravitational influences of the Earth, the Moon, the Sun, Venus and Jupiter. To study the squeeze effect on a bigger scale we propose to analyze the Pioneer anomaly where Pioneer´s photons have been flying around the planets in our Solar system causing the squeeze effect - the anomalous blueshift. Similarly, we can study cosmic microwave photons flying around the objects in our Solar system that might create “the axis of evil” - temperature fluctuations in the CMB map (Wien displacement law). Can we prepare in our Solar system “tired” light by frequent blueshift - redshift transitions? Can it be that Nature cleverly inserted the squeeze rate into our very-well known Old Formulae? We want to pass this concept into the hands of Readers of this Journal better educated in the Mathematics and Physics.

Studying the two famous old problems that why the moon can move around the Sun and why the orbit of the Moon around the Earth cannot be broken off by the Sun under the condition that calculating with F=GMm/R^2, the attractive force of the Sun on the Moon is almost 2.2 times that of the Earth. We found that the planet and moon are unified as one single gravitational unit which results in that the Sun cannot have the force of F=GMm/R^2 on the moon. The moon is moved by the gravitational unit orbiting around the Sun. It could indicate that the gravitational field of the moon is limited inside the unit and the gravitational fields of both the planet and moon is unified as one single field interacting with the Sun. The findings are further clarified by reestablishing Newton’s repulsive gravity.

Ultra-sensitivity of a planet’s gravity assist (GA) to changes of the test-body impact parameter prompts a space experiment testing the nature of gravitational field in the Solar system. The Sun, Earth and Venus serve as the space lab with a primitive space probe (ball) as a test body moving on a ballistic trajectory from the Earth to Venus (rendering GA) and backwards to the Earth’s orbit. We show that in Newton and Einstein gravity, the probe’s final positions (reached at the same time) may differ greatly; an Earth’s observer can measure the gap.

AbstractSETI from space is currently envisaged in three ways: i) by large space antennas orbiting the Earth that could be used for both VLBI and SETI (VSOP and RadioAstron missions), ii) by a radiotelescope inside the Saha far side Moon crater and an Earth-link antenna on the Mare Smythii near side plain. Such SETIMOON mission would require no astronaut work since a Tether, deployed in Moon orbit until the two antennas landed softly, would also be the cable connecting them. Alternatively, a data relay satellite orbiting the Earth-Moon Lagrangian pointL2would avoid the Earthlink antenna, iii) by a large space antenna put at the foci of the Sun gravitational lens: 1) for electromagnetic waves, the minimal focal distance is 550 Astronomical Units (AU) or 14 times beyond Pluto. One could use the huge radio magnifications of sources aligned to the Sun and spacecraft; 2) for gravitational waves and neutrinos, the focus lies between 22.45 and 29.59 AU (Uranus and Neptune orbits), with a flight time of less than 30 years. Two new space missions, of SETI interest if ET’s use neutrinos for communications, are proposed.
