ORBITAL MOTION

ORBITAL MOTION

MASS DOES NOT DISTORT SPACE TIME!
MASS IS A COMPONENT OF MASS ENERGY SPACE TIME
AS EXPRESSED BY THE MODIFIED FIRST LAW OF
THERMODYNAMICS WHICH DEFINES ORBITAL MOTION.
KINETIC ENERGY + POTENTIAL ENERGY = A CONSTANT
m ( 2 PI L )^2 / T ^2 + G (M-m) m / L = A CONSTANT.
Delta m (2 pi L ) ^2 / t^2 = - Delta G (M-m) m / L
IF THIS THEORY IS CORRECT THE PLANETS AND MOONS
MUST ORBIT AT DISTANCES L WHERE ANY CHANGE OF
KINETIC ENERGY IS EQUAL TO AN OPPOSITE
SIGN CHANGE OF POTENTIAL ENERGY . KINETIC ENERGY
MUST EQUAL POTENTIAL ENERGY. THIS IS FOUND TO BE
TRUE FOR ALL PLANETS AND MOONS OF THE SOLAR
SYSTEM. THE THEORY CAN BE ASSUMED TO BE CORRECT.

No force is necessary to cause orbital motion.
The planets orbit the sun (( roughly the center of
the effective mass (M-m) of the rest of the
universe )) at a special mean orbital radius to
conserve total energy.

Orbital motion has nothing to do with a force of
gravity. Obrital motion obeys the first law of
thermodynamics, which says that the total
energy of the universe is a constant.
Orbiting masses have kinetic and potential
energies that are nearly equal, because
this occurs at the only orbital radius where
a positive change of kinetic energy is
accompanied by a negative change of
potential energy, complying with the first
law of thermodynamics. .
All of the planets and moons orbit in a
manner that is consistent with the first law
of thermodynamics..
Any orbiting mass, m, such as the earth,
has a kinetic energy m (2 pi L )^2 / t^2
because of its velocity ,v , as m v^2 , and
a potential energy G ( M-m ) m / L,
because of its orbital radius L and the product
of the mases m and the rest of the effective
mass of the universe M-m, where M is the
effective mass of the total universe. In the
solar system this mass M would effectively
be the sum of the masses of the sun and
the rest of the masses of the planets and
moons of the solar system.
The sum of kinetic and potential energies
would be a constant for any particular planet,
or moon , because , no force, as a source
of an energy change, is available to the
orbiting mass ( if it is not in
contact with another mass ) . So, it continues
to orbit at nearly the same radial distance from
the center of the mass of the rest of the
effective universe, complying with the first law
of thermodynamics, as the fundamental
equation of the universe.
