Subject: PERTURBATIONS - the Zetas Explain - # 2
Date: 25 Dec 1996 18:48:55 GMT
This is a continuation of the perturbation discussion, following the post:
PERTURBATIONS - the Zetas Explain - #1
and dealing with the issue of the speed of the orbit upon approach or exit from a perturbation not being equal.
(Begin Zetatalk[TM])
While the larger planet is slowing to pull toward the smaller
planet, on its approach, the smaller planet finds the larger
coming to MEET it and increases its speed toward the larger
somewhat due to this. The POINT OF PASSAGE is not equidistant in
the perturbation swath, it is placed toward the early part of the
drama, due to this, with the rush to meet being quicker and
taking place in a shorter period of time than the lingering
exiting phase. Since the two planets are traveling in the same
direction, they spend more time together during the exiting phase
than the approach.
If either the larger or smaller planet were
standing still, the human argument that the speed of orbit is
compensated upon approach and exit might be valid, but as they
are both MOVING, the perturbation is NOT equal on both sides. Net
- the smaller planet should be slowed overall in its orbital
speed, as it has the larger planet in close proximity BEHIND it
for a LONGER PERIOD OF TIME. This is due to the larger planet
tagging along behind the smaller planet. Net - the larger planet
should be sped up overall in its orbital speed, as it is being
encouraged to chase the smaller planet now AHEAD of it for a
longer period of time. This should be intuitively obvious to
humans, who find the car slows more, overall, the longer the
brakes are applied. To state that the length of time is
irrelevant would be absurd.
