"All planets revolve in approximately one plane. They revolve in a plane perpendicular to the lines of force of the sun’s magnetic field." -- Immanuel Velikovsky, cosmologist, 1946
"When first observed by Voyager, the spoke movements [of Saturn's Rings] seemed to defy gravity and had the scientists very perplexed. Since the spokes rotate at the same rate as Saturn's magnetic field, it is apparent that the electromagnetic forces are also at work." -- Ron Baalke, astrophysicist, 1998
Science Daily: Planet-forming Disk Discovered Orbiting Twin Suns.
ScienceDaily (June 11, 2009) — Astronomers have announced that a sequence of images collected with the Smithsonian's Submillimeter Array (SMA) clearly reveals the presence of a rotating molecular disk orbiting the young binary star system V4046 Sagittarii. The SMA images provide an unusually vivid snapshot of the process of formation of giant planets, comets, and Pluto-like bodies. The results also confirm that such objects may just as easily form around double stars as around single stars like our Sun.A disk is in a flat plane and therefore obviously not being formed, affected, or influenced in any way by gravitation.
These findings are being presented by UCLA graduate student David Rodriguez in a press conference at the American Astronomical Society meeting in Pasadena, Calif.
"It's a case of seeing is believing," says Joel Kastner of the Rochester (NY) Institute of Technology, the lead scientist on the study. "We had the first evidence for this rotating disk in radio telescope observations of V4046 Sagittarii that we made last summer. But at that point, all we had were molecular spectra, and there are different ways to interpret the spectra. Once we saw the image data from the SMA, there was no doubt that we have a rotating disk here."
Why not? Magnetic fields do influence star formation, gravity starts the collapse, then magnetic fields take over and provide structure. Gravity sorts the material as the star forms giving rise to rocky planets close up, and gas giants out in the dark. Then the gas giants spiral in blowing the whole thing apart in some cases... it's a beautiful thing.

ReplyDeleteSince when are you a Velikovskian?
Born again?

I have no idea what you're talking about.
I said a long time ago that Gravity and Electromagnetism are both valid theories. Nothing's changed.
ReplyDeleteThis is an artist's conception, not a photograph. Alleged, indeed!
ReplyDeleteGravity is a fact, but not a force. It lacks a theory unless it is based on EM theory!
It is more likely that the material, if actual and not just alleged, came from the stars themselves. What did not escape or fall back into them, then the particles had to assume a disk, also known as a ring, something we associate with Saturn, a very brown dwarf.
