Abstract

In 1995 the solution to the mystery of the geometric spacing of the planets in our solar system (SS) evolved as the final link in a continuity of cogent evidence initiated in 1973. The new Fourth Law of Planetary Motion (FL) reveals how the huge embryonic masses of energy were placed in precise Phi orbits around the Sun, later to evolve as planets undergoing five common stages of evolution in accord with size and in full compliance with all natural laws. This geometric origin clearly explains the enigmatic discrepancies in Bode's law, and how gravity displaced the planets from their original Phi positions to their current Bode positions during the past 5 billion years. Valid solutions to all anomalies of the SS finally are attainable. Now definitive and testable, the new paradigm will enable scientists to understand the history of the SS, to predict the future orbital displacement and fate of every planet, and to explain all differences (including size, composition, surface features, electromagnetism, the rates and stages of evolution, life forms, etc.) that exist among planetary spheres.
