Q: Yes, I would like to
know what dangers we are laying ourselves open to with the
advent of the
atomic age, but first I would like to hear more about this new Sun.
A: It is
a body of monstrous proportions which will shortly become visible in
the
direction of Cancer. It will not, however, emit any light as the light of
a Sun only
becomes intense when it enters into a secondary magnetic field
such as our solar
system. It begins to rotate on entering such a field. It
deforms space around itself
and generates currents which give rise to its
brilliance, if it were luminous
beforehand, its light would set up a force of
repulsion, and it would be deflected
from its path. With no luminosity it
becomes subject to the pressure of our Sun, but
its own momentum will ensure
that it enters our system.
It will first be seen as a reddish light, later
turning to blue. After reaching the area
of the large planetary bodies, it
will encounter the repulsive force of the Sun, but in
its rear it will then
have the weight of large bodies, also imparting a force of
repulsion to it in
the opposite direction. The force of repulsion of the planets behind
it, the
light it gives off and its great mass will cause the present Sun to move
further
away from the magnetic center of our system. Then the two Suns will
settle down
in their new orbits, the one of greater mass and lesser light
being nearer the center.
Two Suns in the solar system will create difficult
problems. The orbits of all the
planets will be changed. Mercury will move
into the area between the present orbits
of Venus and the Earth. Venus will
move out to a position between the present
orbit of the Earth and Mars. The
Earth will feel the effect before the new Sun
settles down in its definitive
orbit. As the luminosity of this body increases, the
pressure of this light
will cause the Moon to move out of its orbit, and it will settle
in a
position that will turn it into a planet. With this displacement it will take
with it
part of the etheric mass of the Earth, which will impart to it a
stabilised movement.
The Earth, in turn, under the pressure of the twin Suns,
will move out into the area
now occupied by the planetoids. In short, there
will be a general displacement of all
the bodies belonging to 'our system.
Pluto will be ejected from the system, and will
wander though space until it
finds some new haven.
["And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord
God, that I will cause the sun
to go down at noon and I will darken the Earth
in the clear day" (Amos 8: ix)].
The entry of a new Sun into our system would
throw the Earth out into an orbit
between Mars and Jupiter now occupied by
the planetoids. All the planetary orbits
will be altered. There will be
turmoil1 but this will be bearable as the repulsive
force of the new Sun will
speedily restore order. When the new Sun reaches it
maximum luminosity the
Earth will already be in its appointed place in the system.
There will
certainly be a change
