Origin of the Solar System

Dr. Milton M. Beck

Description

This book contains the reasons why the author does not believe the accretion disk origin theory for our solar system.  That theory might fit other system, but not ours.  The author first shows reasons why the currently accepted theory doesn’t fit.  He goes from one facet of the accretion disk theory to another discrediting each in turn.  The author then describes his own theory.  The author has made a good effort to define a sequence of events that resulted in our solar system.  How well his theory is accepted remains to be seen, but he asks for a fair chance for its evaluation.  He presents an interesting idea.

Dedication
 
First of all, I wish to dedicate this book to my wife and thank her, for without her support and encouragement I would not have been able to finish this project.
 
I wish to thank my daughter Anea. Her efforts in proofreading and her support improved the results of this book-writing endeavor.
 
I also wish to thank my daughter Barbrina. She made great improvements in my figures used in the book and made them more meaningful and understandable. She is a great illustrator.
 
Without the staff of the Larson Memorial Library, Lakeside, AZ, (Head Librarian Wendy Kochheiser, Circulation Clerks Vicki Morgan and Kendra Abel) this manuscript would not be finished now.
 
Finally, I wish to express my gratitude to Dr. Gordon Lind, Professor Emeritus, of Utah State University, for the inspiration, and patience in listening to my prattle, as I would discuss my ideas. These discussions led to this book. And, I thank him for playing the part of the devil’s advocate . He caused me to think.

THE ORIGIN OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM
Accretion Disk or NO
INTRODUCTION
 
While sitting in an astronomy class in 1984, the professor told the class about the theory of the origin of the solar system. It didn’t sound right to me. It was like the skit played by Red Skelton in which he plays two seagulls, Gertrude and Mergatroid. The seagulls are flying and one looked down and says to the other, “Sumtin just don’t look right to me.” (I hope I have done justice to the wonderful portrayal by Red Skelton). Something did not “look” right to me about the theory of the origin of the solar system. I started searching for information to attempt an explanation as to the origin of the solar system that made sense to me. My search, thinking and pondering, and rethinking many times led me to what I have presented in this book. The question that I intend to explore is whether or not our solar system developed or formed in an accretion disk. I sometimes question whether accretion is a viable process but that is not the purpose of this book. I will attempt to show that accretion was not involved with the origin of our solar system and explain how it did form.
“When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.” (Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, The Sign of Four, 1890). Have we eliminated all of the impossibles? I don’t think so. What possibilities are left? We don’t know the entire multitude of possibilities yet. Is the possibility that I am going to outline the only remaining possibility? No, I don’t think so, but it seems to me (and of course, I am not prejudice in this matter either) to answer more of the requirements pertaining to our solar system than do the other theories and I leave it up to the reader to make his or her own decision about what I have to present. I just ask for an open mind and a critical evaluation.
 
 
The three planetary nebula above, the “Spirograph” Nebula, the Ring Nebula, and the “Little Ghost” Nebula along with the Red Spider Nebula illustrate some of the wonders of nature which stagger man’s imagination and cause us to rethink the process by which stars die and the elements are recycled. (The Red Spider Planetary Nebula can be seen at the following web site: http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap010724.htm ). . Perhaps if we expand our minds and field of thought, we may even come up with the means by which our solar system came into being.
 
Chapter 1
Brief History of Astronomy
 
Since ancient times men have looked into the skies, day and night. They wondered about the nature of the stars, sun, moon, and various heavenly events, such as eclipses, shooting stars, and northern lights. Shepherds, to while away their time during their night watches over their flocks, would lie on their backs and name the star groups based upon what the pattern looked like to them. People began to try and explain what the stars, the Sun, and the moon were. Astronomy began to take on an organization of scientific astronomics some time by 2500 years before present (BP) (Brown, 1972). Structures such as the great pyramid of Kufu in Egypt and Stonehenge ( http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap990912.html ), which date back much further, to around 4000 BP, have astronomical associations. The oldest set of stones with an astronomical arrangement is the Nabta, in the Egyptian Sahara Desert, which is over 6000 years old ( http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap980408.html ). North American Indians built medicine wheels which also have astronomical connections, starting 2000 to 2600 years BP. Aztec temples and observatories date from 800 BP while Inca temples and observatories date from
