235: Chapter 235: Who says Mars doesn't have a twin brother?
The millions of viewers in the live stream were stunned by Jiang Zhe's remarks, and for a moment, the entire screen was devoid of comments.
After a long while, a few comments began to appear, followed by an explosion like a tidal wave.
"Circular motion, artificial satellites, I have goosebumps!"
"Holy crap, so the sun is the launch center and the eight planets are natural satellites?"
"This analogy is terrifying but logically sound, my god!"
"Is this really free to listen to? My worldview is shattering!"
"As expected of Big Brother, he has unique insights into every industry. Proposing a hypothesis is just the threshold for Big Brother; verifying it is how he competes with us!"
Even after watching for a long time, the viewers were always shaken by Jiang Zhe's subversive thinking.
There was no other reason; he was just too strong!
He wasn't strong in the way a university professor is; he was strong because he could make elementary school students understand, which is far better than university professors!
In Principal Fu's office, there was a collective gasp.
Principal Fu shook his head in amazement, his eyes burning.
Old Wang wanted to speak but hesitated, his expression shifting.
Old Yu the Physicist suddenly spoke: "Right, why didn't I think of this analogy? It's like piercing through a layer of window paper!"
Ren Xiaoyao, the astronomy teacher, was the most shocked. He couldn't help but gulp. "Artificial satellites, launch, circular motion, planets, sun, launch..."
"My god, Xiaoyu underestimated her brother. This is a point of view that even university astronomy professors wouldn't dare to mention, or even think of!"
At this moment, he wondered if the astronomy he taught the children was actually correct.
If it was correct, why did he feel that what Jiang Zhe said was the truth?
At the National Astronomical Observatory, the meeting room was deathly quiet.
"Circular motion..." Director Wang Weiguo repeated subconsciously, his eyes gleaming.
"The orbit of an artificial satellite, and the orbit of a planet around the sun..." Professor Zhang Qinian looked stunned.
His mind was churning!
Circular motion → Artificial satellite → Planet → Sun!
These four words were like magic, spinning and jumping in his mind and the minds of the other researchers. They closed their eyes!
Soon, Director Wang, Professor Zhang, and all the researchers were overwhelmed by this idea.
"My god!" Director Wang suddenly recovered, saying in shock: "Such a simple, such a direct truth; we have spent decades studying various complex models, how did we never dare to compare the Solar System and an artificial satellite system like this?"
"If we had thought about it once, wouldn't we have solved this unsolved mystery of astronomy???"
Regret, he felt regret!
Professor Zhang took a deep breath. "From the kinematic model perspective, if the sun is the centroid, ignoring complex factors, the stable Keplerian orbits of the eight planets are near-circular... and the stable orbits of controlled artificial satellites, in the most ideal dynamic framework, truly share the analogy of circular motion!"
"It's crude, but it hits the core!"
"Jiang Zhe discarded all complex processes and only grasped the connection between the beginning and the result; the process is not important; just look at the beginning and the result!!!"
The researchers nearby completely exploded.
"Damn, he's crazy; but this idea is too awesome!"
"Have we always been using super complex formulas to think about those things, while he just uses the simplest of truths!!!"
"I don't even dare to think about it anymore, this is too subversive!"
In Qingfeng Temple, the atmosphere was very strange.
Even Celestial Master Zhang and Master Wang Chongyang, who knew nothing about astronomy, were speechless at this simple analogy.
Wang Chongyang narrowed his eyes. "Making tools to imitate images, observing the way of heaven; man-made objects secretly conform to the craftsmanship of heaven! This learning is too profound!"
Celestial Master Zhang said softly: "Infinite Heavenly Venerable; this great truth is simple, yet evolves into complexity!"
Celestial Master Zhang felt words were not enough, so he pulled out his phone and tipped 1000 yuan.
[Celestial Master Zhang of Qingfeng Temple tipped the streamer 1000 yuan for a rocket!]
"Good guy, even people in the Taoist temple are watching?"
"Hahaha, a bit unexpected; is the Taoist priest also learning the Great Dao through Big Brother's live stream?"
"Taoist priest, what do you think about the akashic records?"
Of course, he ignored these comments.
Zheng Ming was completely speechless this time. He wanted to pick faults and refute, but the analogy between circular motion and artificial satellites was like a needle stuck deep in his heart, shattering all common-sense doubts.
He finally looked at Fang Xu with anticipation, "Brother Fang, what, what does this count as?"
Fang Xu's playfulness had long since disappeared. He stared intently at the big screen, and only after a long while did he say:
"This point of view can no longer be described as reasonable or shocking. It is using a phenomenon that even elementary school students can understand to challenge the models of traditional astronomy."
"If the Solar System can really be seen as a magnified, naturally formed satellite system, that means the astronomical community has been using the wrong reference frame all along."
"He is not using sophistry; this is a method of the simplest truth, very brilliant!"
He looked at Jiang Zhe with a sense of Dao rhyme in his eyes.
It was as if every move of Jiang Zhe had a deeper meaning, because the impact Jiang Zhe gave him was too great!
In the villa living room, Xiaoyu broke free from the shock. She looked at Jiang Zhe, her beautiful eyes full of disbelief, "Brother, it's circular motion. Artificial satellites orbit the Earth in circular motion because the satellites were launched from Earth."
"And the eight planets orbit the sun in circular motion because they were also flung out from the sun, or rather, launched!!!"
Speaking of this, she stood up suddenly, full of excitement, "My god, Brother; even if you haven't produced any concrete evidence yet, just this analogy of circular motion and artificial satellites makes me feel... creepy!"
Jiang Zhe smiled slightly and asked softly: "Oh? Why do you feel creepy?"
Xiaoyu couldn't help but swallow, took a deep breath, and said: "That's because, because the simpler and more direct a truth is, and the more impossible it is to refute, the more likely it is to be approaching..."
"The truth?"
Jiang Zhe just blinked and nodded gently.
He knew that once some associations were produced, they would spread like a prairie fire and could no longer be ignored.
Only the power of the truth could make people feel terrified and send chills down their spines.
"But Brother!" Xiaoyu calmed her mood and asked again: "Even if planets might have been flung out by the sun, how do you explain the symmetry and twins I felt earlier?"
"Venus and Earth are similar, Jupiter and Saturn are similar, Uranus and Neptune are similar; is this also a coincidence?"
Jiang Zhe nodded slightly and continued to explain: "This happens to involve the specific way they were flung out."
"In Brother's solar fission hypothesis, the planets of the Solar System were likely not flung out at the same time, nor in a messy way, but were flung out in batches and in an orderly manner."
"Imagine a rapidly rotating sun; its centrifugal force is symmetrical on both sides of the equator."
"Then, during high-speed rotation, at a certain critical point of the sun, it is entirely possible for it to fling out two masses of similar composition from symmetrical sides simultaneously; that is to say, the sun may have [flung out a pair of] planetary materials or star discs at once."
"The most obvious example is Earth and Venus—their size, mass, density, and structure are surprisingly similar, just like a pair of twin brothers, and their orbits are adjacent!"
"Similarly, Jupiter and Saturn, as the two largest gas giants in the Solar System, whether in composition or structure, are both huge satellite systems and both show extremely high similarity. They are more likely to also be [a pair] flung out in the same batch."
"And Uranus and Neptune, these two ice giants, whether in size, color, or composition, as well as their extremely tilted axes of rotation, are like twins carved from the same mold."
"So you see, in our Solar System, there are at least three pairs of highly similar twin planets."
"And this is precisely where the current mainstream accretion model struggles to explain!"
At the National Astronomical Observatory, Professor Zhang Qinian nodded repeatedly: "That's right! In our astronomical models, the specific orbital environment determines the type of planet."
"Earth's orbit forms terrestrial planets, Jupiter's orbit forms gas giants; this seems to be [positional determinism]."
"But why would adjacent orbits, like Earth and Venus, form such similar planets?"
"Why are there exactly two gas giants and they are so similar?"
"We often use random minor initial conditions and similar later evolution to gloss over it. What he said is indeed... a fig leaf for the mainstream model!"
Speaking of this, he sighed, "This idea of Jiang's that the sun flings out a pair at once is certainly bold and outrageous, but it can easily explain the planetary twin and symmetry phenomena!"
"If Venus and Earth were formed from the same split initial material, then wouldn't it be natural for them to be similar?"
Director Wang and the researchers looked profound.
Even without any direct evidence, the explanatory power of the hypothesis Jiang Zhe gave was already making them waver.
There was no other reason; the attraction and subversive power were too strong, pointing directly to the only truth!
Just then, in the living room, Xiaoyu frowned: "Brother, what about Mars?"
"You mentioned three pairs of twin planets: Earth and Venus as a pair, Jupiter and Saturn as a pair, Uranus and Neptune as a pair; what about Mars?"
"Why is it all alone? Does it not have a twin brother?"
Jiang Zhe heard this, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he asked back: "How can you be sure; that Mars never had a twin brother?"
"Is there such a possibility!"
"Mars's twin brother once existed, but in some unimaginable historical age, it has already..."
"Shattered?"
Once these words were spoken, Xiaoyu was stunned, her puppy eyes wide open!
Countless viewers in the live stream also instantly had their pupils shrink, almost stunned!
Following that, a concept that is familiar to all astronomy enthusiasts and even high school students surfaced in their minds!
The eight planets—Mars is adjacent to Jupiter!!!
And between Mars and Jupiter, there exists a huge Asteroid Belt!!!
Could it be???
