- So, many of you are now wondering: how was the Earth orbiting Uranus? How did
- this reduce the "felt effect of gravity"? and What the hell is he talking
- about?
-
- Well the answer to all these is simple once you recognize one simple _fact_:
- Uranus is a superconductor.
-
- That's right, it's unique interior configuration has turned it into a giant
- superconductor. This means that when the Earth orbited Uranus the Earths
- magnetic field entered the primaries surface, and was carried allong without
- resistance. This generated a repulsive force on the Earth. Surely you have
- seen those scientific demonstrations where the magnet floats eerily above a
- supercoductor, this is much what happened with the Earth.
-
- The Earth still orbited Uranus, but because of the magnetic repulsive force
- from Uranus, it did not need to orbit as quickly as the distance would have
- required. This means that the Earth was _not_ in gravitational free fall!
-
- Since one side (not the pole) was always facing Uranus, all of the sauropods
- etc. were living on the pangaea supercontinent that sat on that face.
-
- Uranus would heat the planet facing side of the Earth, but what about the far
- side? Wouldn't that side freeze over?
-
- No! Remember, Uranus was generating a repulsive force on the Earth's magnetic
- core. This means that the core was _closer_ to the surface on the far side of
- the planet. The mantel would have been dragged toward Uranus. The constant
- stresses put on the core would have kept it heated, but the extra-thick mantel
- on the near side would protect the inhabitants from excessive volcanism.
-
- So there we have it, a complete, self consistant explanation for all the
- _factual_ discrepancies between history and science.
