The complex planetary synchronization structure of the solar system

Abstract

The complex planetary synchronization structure of the solar system, which since Pythagoras of Samos (ca. 570-495 BC) is known as the music of the spheres, is briefly reviewed from the Renaissance up to contemporary research. Copernicus' heliocentric model from 1543 suggested that the planets of our solar system form a kind of mutually ordered and quasi-synchronized system. From 1596 to 1619 Kepler formulated preliminary mathematical relations of approximate commensurabilities among the planets, which were later reformulated in the Titius-Bode rule (1766-1772) that successfully predicted the orbital position of Ceres and Uranus. Following the discovery of the ∼11 yr sunspot cycle, in 1859 Wolf suggested that the observed solar variability could be approximately synchronized with the orbital movements of Venus, Earth, Jupiter and Saturn. Modern research have further confirmed that: (1) the planetary orbital periods can be approximately deduced from a simple system of resonant frequencies; (2) the solar system oscillates with a specific set of gravitational frequencies, and many of them (e.g. within the range between 3 yr and 100 yr) can be approximately constructed as harmonics of a base period of ∼178.38 yr; (3) solar and climate records are also characterized by planetary harmonics from the monthly to the millennia time scales. This short review concludes with an emphasis on the contribution of the author's research on the empirical evidences and physical modeling of both solar and climate variability based on astronomical harmonics. The general conclusion is that the solar system works as a resonator characterized by a specific harmonic planetary structure that synchronizes also the Sun's activity and the Earth's climate. The special issue "Pattern in solar variability, their planetary origin and terrestrial impacts" further develops the ideas about the planetary-solar-terrestrial interaction with the personal contribution of 10 authors.

The Tayler instability at low magnetic Prandtl numbers: chiral symmetry breaking and synchronizable helicity oscillations

“…An obvious next step is related to the question of whether longer periodicities of the solar dynamo, such as the 87-year Gleissberg cycle, the 210-year Suess-de-Vries cycle, and the 2300-year Hallstatt cycle [37,38,39,40,41,42], could also be explained in the framework of the synchronization model. The solution of this problem might have tremendous consequences, in particular, if any of the disputed mechanisms for connecting solar activity and terrestrial climate [43,44,45,46] could be validated.…”

The Special Principle of Relativity and the Translation of Physical Laws

“…We therefore submit the laws of electronic motion as follow: Although the above laws can predict the trajectory of lower-orbit electrons, higher-orbit electrons can be expected to deviate and not obey the above laws of electronic motion because of 380 known interference of electrostatic forces on one electron from other neighboring electrons on higher orbits. In fact, a similar interference of one planet on the orbit of another neighboring planet is known to occur among planets of the outer solar system [33]. It is therefore only logical that the same should be expected and observed here.…”

Ciclos climáticos e causas naturais das mudanças do clima

“…As influências extraterrestres que forçam o clima da Terra são sustentadas por diversas evidências empíricas, destacando-se: o papel do Sol na regulação da dinâmica climática na Terra (Versteegh 2005, Mackey 2009, Zuffo 2015; a complexa interação Terra-Sol-Lua (Berger et al 2002, Treloar 2002, Davis & Brewer 2011, Scafetta 2014; as origens astronômicas das oscilações oceânicas (Mazzarella & Scafetta 2011); e os superciclos bio-geo-oceânico-atmosféricos relacionados ao movimentos do Sistema Solar na Via Láctea (Tiwari & Rao 2003, Steiner 1967. Conforme descrito por Benkö (1985), Chumakov (2002Chumakov ( , 2005, Bartlein (2007) Dentro de um enorme intervalo temporal que varia em mais de dez ordens de grandeza, compreendendo desde ciclos diários (10 -3 anos) até ciclos tectônicos/galácticos (10 8 anos), as variações cíclicas do clima apresentadas foram consideradas individualmente com o intuito de facilitar a compreensão de cada tipo de ciclo e os fenômenos específicos envolvidos.…”

“…Segundo Scafetta (2014), Pitágoras [570-495 a.C.] propôs que o Sol, a Lua e os planetas emitem seus próprios "sussurros" (ressonâncias orbitais) com base em suas revoluções orbitais, e que a vida na Terra reflete de alguma forma o teor dos "sons celestiais". Esse conceito filosófico antigo é conhecido como musica universalis (música universal ou "música das esferas").…”
