Music of the Spheres

Kepler’s theory is revisited using “space sound” and “gravitational induction” to explain the alignments of the planets in ecliptic orbits and their evenly spaced distribution.

New theories under development 2008

Abstract: Kepler is most famous for his three laws of planetary motion, which were derived from careful observations before the age of Newtons equations. Towards the end of his life he worked on a new theory “the music of the spheres” which was then rejected as mysticism. And yet, the questions remain unanswered. Why are the planets and their moons aligned and spaced in ecliptic orbits, in what is obviously a constantly changing dynamic system. Are other solar systems aligned like that? The Jupiter system, for example, resembles a smaller solar system including rings like the asteroid belts around the sun. Is there a theory that can explain this and was Kepler onto something? A new theory proposes “space sound” and “gravitational induction” to keep the solar system in constant balance. Proposing sound to travel in empty space seems ridiculous. And yet, space in the solar system is far from empty especially around the sun and the planets, including the solar wind blowing away from the sun. Sound travels in solid objects, water, or air, at a speed dependent on the density of the medium. Is there a possibility that sound may travel in the very rarified atmosphere in the solar system? This sound may have extremely low frequencies in the order of one waveform per day or even weeks, and travel at low speed. Planets and moons may be caught in the votaries to be kept in place regardless of small changes in gravitational fields. It is known that the sun is ringing like a bell in various harmonic frequencies, with sound to travel out from the solar atmosphere into the solar system. These sound waves should be detectible on earth if extreme low frequency detectors are available. Was Kepler right in that the solar system is kept in balance by the “Music of the Spheres”?

Applications: Our solar system is well balanced and stable. Are other solar systems like ours or is it all just a coincidence? New research and a new theory could answer many questions left open by Newton’s equations.

Keywords: Solar system structure, space sound.
