    I once had an idea for a testable hypothesis for why Bode's Law might appear to work for the innermost planets. It was during a 3rd year celestial mechanics course when I learned the general solution to the 3 or more body problem in Newtonian mechanics could not be solved. (Einsteinian mechanics are even worse because the general 2 body problem could not be solved.) We studied a restricted three body problem where the main body was far more massive than the second and the third body was of negligible mass. The solution to that problem leads to the calculation of the 5 Lagrange positions of equal gravitation. The James Webb Telescope currently occupies L3.
    Bode's Law might be a metastable solution for the many objects which form our Solar System. Uranus does not fit well and Neptune is way off because these planets have not orbited enough times to achieve their positions of metastability. Saturn, the last planet which follows Bode's Law has completed 150 million orbits while Neptune only 26 million orbits. My hypothesis at the time had the benefit of being impossible to disprove at the time because the computing power necessary to run the simulation did not exist in 1973. It does now and anyone who wants to should feel free to prove me wrong.

    • @ckl9390

      I don't have the computing power available (unless this temperamental desktop I'm currently using counts) nor the expertise to program it.

    my son Is in Aerospace. He and his group put up a mirco satellite to study plasma pulse engines. people have NO CONCEPT of how much crap they have to do to get something in space. legally. mechanically. financially. their satellite was the size of a boot box. the actual engine was the size of a lawn mower. they had to prove, once launched. tested and studied, it would fall out of orbit and burn up in the atmosphere. $20,000. burned up. and it could stay in orbit for no more that 2 months. cant tell you about what the found out about it, but they were extremely happy. $20k worth every dime. people say "nasa canceled the probe" like it was a personal slight to them. no. nasa has (for example) $100M to spend. they tell people to submit their proposals. the one that can show the most bang for the buck, usually wins. the rest have to regroup and try again. When you have $30k to spend on a car. you may want the Lambo, Ferrari and Mercedes. but you are gonna get a used mustang. sorry.

    The only thing that kinda ruins it of course is that Herschel actually wanted to call it George, after his patron George IV. (Hey, the guy knew which side his bread was buttered on!) The name that gained currency in the literature and eventually stuck came from a pair of Germans who had no idea what it sounded like in English.

Basically ice breaks up, gets pushed up into huge piles on shore and then if the water gets rough it can sometimes surge up through the cracks in the ice and spew out like a volcano.
