Gravity — Modern
Enigma or Inconvenient Truth?
The linchpin to
the molten core model of the earth is the current reigning theory of gravity. I
stress the word 'theory' here because that is all it amounts to, and a poor
example of one at that. Allow me to explain. According to modern scientific
understanding, because of the gravitational pull on all matter which comprises
the earth, the deeper one goes into the earth's crust, the greater the pressure
due to the cumulative effect of more and more matter above the point of
reference (much like deep sea diving). It is a fair assumption I suppose. As the
pressure grows, so too does the temperature, which increases up to a point that
the rocks and other minerals liquefy. As you progress even deeper, the pressures
become so intense that the core itself becomes a super-heated, incredibly dense
solid mass of metal (cue applause for the marvels of the modern scientific
mind!)
Much like a religion gone terribly wrong, on the surface
everything seems to work out nicely and everyone gets an 'S' for satisfactorily
playing together. If, however, you dig a bit deeper, you find a debris field of
discarded and annoying evidence which stubbornly will not fit into this utopia
of modern scientific explanation. Shall we examine a few?
The Kola borehole — The deepest
hole drilled into the crust of the earth is located at the Kola Peninsula in
Murmansk Russia and extends down 12,262 meters (7.6 miles). Earth scientists had
a very precise agenda of pressures, temperatures and rock compositions they
expected to encounter with each new depth as they drilled. Instead, they found
that they were wrong on nearly all accounts as the Kola borehole produced one
surprise after another. It was so astonishing that one scientist commented
'Every time we drill a hole we find the unexpected. That's exciting, but
disturbing.' And a science reporter remarked: 'Kola revealed how far from truth
scientific theory can roam.'
Anomalous
acceleration of Pioneer probes 10 & 11 — As Pioneer probes 10 & 11
near the outer reaches of opposite ends of our solar system, they are slowing
down each at an equal, albeit unexpected rate. Scientists, upon examination of
this startling evidence are forced to throw up their hands and confess ignorance
of the underlying mechanism at work (a.k.a. gravity).
Ultra-short-period
planets — WASP-18b is a planet roughly 10 times the mass of Jupiter which
completes an orbit around its sun in less than one earth day. Due to the immense
gravitational tidal forces exerted on WASP-18b from its close proximity to its
sun, its orbit should have degraded until it collided with the star millions of
years ago. This unexpected behaviour has astrophysicists and astronomers
exclaiming "Perhaps we really are missing some key bit of physics!"
Precession of a pendulum
during a solar eclipse — The Allais
effect or the precession of the plane of oscillation of a pendulum during a
solar eclipse is but one of many anomalous observations and readings made during
solar eclipses which seem to somehow alter the otherwise 'normal' gravitational
flux experienced by an observer on the surface of earth. A satisfactory
explanation has yet to be offered by the scientific community.
Tamarack mine
experiment — In an effort to measure the convergence of the earth's
gravitational field, two 4,250 foot steel cables were lowered into a mine shaft,
each having a weight on the end. Instead of converging, it was discovered the
cables actually diverged from each other. The results of the experiment
translated to the earth having a center of gravity some 4000 miles out in
space! No matter how many times this experiment was repeated, each time taking
great care to rule out interference by pesky variables, the results were
markedly different from those obtained when applying mainstream models for
gravitation.
Einstein's cosmic 'fudge
factor', the Lambda Coefficient — Einstein's most accomplished work, his
theory of general
relativity, was so deficient in describing the effects of gravity by his own
admission, that he introduced a 'fudge factor' or lambda coefficient into his
equations to cause them to more accurately conform to observable reality. We
still herald general relativity as the opus magnum of science when it
comes to our collective ability to define the mechanics of gravity. Why then did
Einstein refer to lambda as the 'biggest blunder' of his life?
