Yahoo Tuning Groups Ultimate Backup tuning ON THE SPECIAL THEORY OF ORDER

As a contributing science writer to the Foundation for the Study
of Cycles in the 1970s I wrote a number of articles on order in our
solar-planetary system, mainly on perceived correlation of the
sunspot cycle, weather and planetary synodic cycles round the sun.

An axiom of physics that should not be overlooked in any application
of mathematics to things in reality is that the general laws apply
universally. (See my previous papers in the Bulletin: "Bode's Law
Explained," Cycles 30: 82, 1979, and "On the Special Theory of
Order," Cycles 36: 219, 1985.) Therefore, if the clock pattern is
applied to our solar-planetary system--both systems involve objects
in 360-degree motion around their respective centers--any two planets
will cross only a certain number of times. Thereafter, the pattern
repeats. (see my paper: "Why the sunspot cycle 22 years long?"
Cycles 46: 3, 1996.

As I pointed out in my previously cited papers, the primary cause of
the full-wave 22-year sunspot cycle is the Saturn-Uranus synodic
cycle. These two planets cross "only 22 times" before the pattern
repeats.

Whereas a clock has only two hands, the solar-planetary system is not
made up of a mere two planets; the cumulative effect of each set of
two planets must be computed as they relate to the others. In
addition, the solar-planetary electrical and magnetic field in which
the multitude of planets move and cross, is, itself, in motion with
respect to the center of the galaxy. Also, the planets are
precessing with respect to the distant star field. Consequently,
our solar-planetary system will not behave as mathematically precise
as a clock. Indeed, each individual 22-year cycle varies immensely,
from about 20.8 to about 27 years.

In The Old Farmer's Almanac 1981, science writer Guy Murchie
popularized my theory by reference to my publications, asking: "Is
there order among the planets? Or, as Pythagoras once put it, is
there Music in the Spheres?"

I published Arnold's Law in 1979, as follows:

Bodies_Proportion___Degreed Arcs___Fraction___Ideal Mean**
Or Perimeter

Sun__________0___________0________0____________0
Mercury______1___________3_____1/120______3.14 X10(7th)miles
Venus________2___________6______1/60______6.28
Earth________3___________9______1/40______9.42
Mars_________4__________12______1/30_____12.56
Ceres*_______8__________24______1/15_____25.13
Jupiter_____15__________45______1/8______47.12
Saturn______30__________90______1/4______94.24
Uranus______60_________180______1/2_____188.49
Neptune_____90_________270______3/4_____282.74
Pluto______120_________360______4/4_____376.99

*Ceres: prime representative of so-called "asteroids"

**means: adjusted for diameters of both bodies, sun and planet

The sun is at 0, where it belongs in a sun-centered system. And all
the other bodies are suspended in space at naturally represented
numbers: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 15, 30, 60, 90, and 120. Because
astronomy measures the solar-planetary system by using the third
planet from the sun, Earth, as its unit, the so-called astronomical
unit has kept astronomy in the dark as to the ideal proportions of
our solar-planetary system. The sun must be set to O in the
mathematical sequence, inasmuch as the laws of math require it:
"The number 0 is not a successor: every natural number other than 0
has exactly one immediate predecessor; this means that the sequence
of natural numbers has a beginning in its first member 0"
[Encyclopedia of Mathematics, Gallert, Kustner, Hellwich, Kastner,
et al, 20].

The unit distance is equated with the distance from the sun to the
first natural body, Mercury. The solar unitary distance (s.u.)
equals 1. In order to be true and certain to the heliocentric
solar-planetary system model as is the stated purpose of the
physicist (and not necessarily the astronomer), the heliocentric unit
must be programmed into the model. Thus, su(x) = 1.

In conclusion, I urge interested readers to review the detailed
heliocentric data and patterns published in my earlier papers.
Perhaps someone can generate a full-scale computer analysis to
confirm why the sunspot cycle averages 22 years.

Gary Vezzoli writes, "Dear Bill -- I am happy to read your posting
and to think about the Uranus- postulate. However, in physics we
are learning that there are no general laws, only statistical
relationships, and none of these are true universally (everywhere in
the universe) and this, I believe, with unambiguous certitude. I
think that particle physicists and astrophysicists would now agree.
What is the journal "Cycles" and where do I locate it, since I am
unfamiliar with such. Best wishes, Gary C. Vezzoli.
Dr.Gary Christopher Vezzoli, Physicist"

Well, when I mentioned the general laws of physics, I meant as
applied to our solar-planetary system, and would include the galaxy,
but then none of us have been out there in deep space to say with an
absolute certainty that the general laws of physics apply or not,
universally. As to the Foundation for the Study of Cycles, I found
the following at Ray Tomes' website:

The Foundation for the Study of Cycles

http://homepages.kcbbs.gen.nz/rtomes/rt-cycle.htm

A New Science
These two facts cry aloud for the creation of a new science - the
science of cycles - which is concerned with rhythmic fluctuation per
se, which will develop techniques of cycle analysis, which will
isolate cycles in all the 30 or 40 different branches of science
where cycles are important, and which, having assembled enough facts,
will perhaps someday venture to advance some theories in regard to
cause and effect.

The Foundation for the Study of Cycles was created, in 1940, to found
such a new science, and to develop it to the point where it could
serve mankind. In the eleven years which have elapsed since its
creation, the Foundation has made slow but steady progress.

It should be clear from the above remarks that the Foundation is
purely an educational and scientific body and in no sense a
commercial organization. It exists, not to make money but to serve
mankind.

An eminent group of scientists and administrators have lent their
names to the Committee of the Foundation. Various scientific
societies have appointed advisors to help with its awards, and many
individual scientists have joined the Foundation as scientific
members. On its part, the Foundation has tried to maintain the high
scientific standards of the many universities and institutions here
and abroad which are, through their professors, connected with it,
and I think we have pretty well succeeded.

Cycles Can Help You, Too
The research of the Foundation is of immediate practical value to the
average citizen, too. By uncovering cycles in production and trade it
throws light on the probabilities of booms and depressions. By
uncovering cycles in international conflict it throws light on the
probabilities of war. By uncovering cycles in the prices of
commodities and of securities it throws light on the probabilities of
panics and of other financial disturbances.
The results of the Foundation's research are made available to the
general public by means of reports, bound together and issued 12
times a year in - the form of a magazine called Cycles - A Monthly
Report.

Martin Sewell writes, "Alignments of planets sometimes yield pretty
pictures for sky gazers, but are otherwise totally unimportant, as
the tidal force exerted on the sun is so tiny as to be insignificant
...In summary, the alignment of planets could not and does not affect
sunspot activity or the weather."

Of course, your response to the theory is predicated upon the premise
that either "tidal force" or "alignment of the planets" is the cause
of the observed phenomenon. In my papers, I express neither.

It is, first of all, important to note that that data observed over
five millennia supports my thesis. In fact, tree ring data and data
found in ice formations go further back in time. The point is:
between the time when Galileo began to record sunspot data, and
today, we have several hundred years worth of comparable recorded
sunspot data, weather data, and planetary synodic cyclical data. The
weather data I used was based on Nile flood data available at Cycles,
and the planetary synodic data was generated by a computer, courtesy
of Robert Hand, and specifically oriented to the center of the
galaxy.
The theory I proposed in my papers for the causal link was not based
on "tidal force" nor "planetary alignment."

Norman Winski writes, "Bill, Great stuff, thanks. If you can stretch
the Sun Spot cycle to about 22.68 years, which would be half of the
Sat - Uranus synodical period of 45.3631years, you would closing
approximate Wheeler's 510 year cycle via squaring 22.68 = 514.48
years. By the way, adding 514.48 years to summer of 1492 = 2007 =
should project a major turning point for Western civilization
According to Wheeler's theory, this should be the beginning
of the end for the dominance of the West and the beginning of
dominance for the East. Buy Chinese Food, Sell Texas BBQ.
Thanks, Norman"

Actually, Wheeler's very detailed charts going back and covering
recorded history were used extensively by Edward Dewey in his various
books, and Cycles researchers are appreciative of Raymond Wheeler's
contributions to cycle theory: "Climate - The Key to Understanding
Business Cycles." But, as joking as you are in your final thought, I
am sure you know that Wheeler's point in comparative cycle analysis
was that cycles come, and cycles go, and we can better predict the
future with a comparative record of events to peruse. Obviously,
Gray's hurricane predictions owe much to the groundwork laid by early
researchers such as Dewey and Wheeler. Raymond Wheeler's charts on
history and business cycles, cycles of wars, coupled with sunspot
cycles, and Ned Dewey's books, were what most fascinated and inspired
me.
