The Elliptical Orbit Of Satellites

Written by Herb Rose on April 4, 2025. Posted in Current News

An ellipse is a two dimensional shape with two focal points where the sum of the distances from the focal points to the circumference remains constant

For a moving object it can be described as vectors of an attractive force coming from two sources acting upon an object and changing the direction of the motion produced by its kinetic energy.

A circle is an ellipse where the two focal points coincide forming a single source and the distance and velocity remains the same as the object moves.

The problem for satellites having an elliptical orbit is that they only have a single focus, the object they orbit, and a single attractive force vector, gravity, that should produce a circular orbit and yet that is not the case.

The answer as to why this occurs is that there are two forces coming from the single source that are of different strengths and act in opposite manners, Ying and Yang.

Although the focal point is at the center of an object, the forces it radiates come from its surface. As more matter is added to an object it produces stronger radiated forces.

An object in orbit will try to equalize with the forces, so where there are two focal points as the satellite travels the distance to each focal point will change and the velocity of the satellite will change.

This is the behavior we see in the satellites orbiting a single source like the Earth or sun. Kepler’s law, dv^2=C, describes how the force of energy (v^2) declines as a function of distance from the source.

In order to understand how a single source can produces two forces with different behaviors produces an ellipse, it is necessary to examine what the basic component that creates the source, the atom.

The atom consists of a small sized center containing almost all of its mass (with a positive charge) surrounded by orbiting electrons with a negative charge. It has both inertia in the nucleus and motion in the electrons, meaning it is formed from both matter, which produces inertia, and energy, producing motion.

These two components each produce a force with different strengths that act in opposite fashions and radiate the two forces acting as two focal points. It is these differences that cause objects to travel in elliptical not circular orbits.

It is also why objects do not travel in straight lines, as Newton’s first law asserts but in arcs.

The structure of the atom indicates that the force of energy is stronger than the force of matter by a factor or PSI (1.61…) since that ratio is seen in both orbiting electrons and orbiting planets. The stronger energy force is able to overcome the attractive force between electrons and protons, separating them producing both an energy force and an electrical force from a single source.

An object will try to equalize the two forces with the energy and matter fields it is in, causing it to travel in curved lines. Both the energy and electric fields decrease linearly with increasing distance from the source but the strength of the force decreases as it spreads over a larger area causing the strength of the forces to decrease as a function of the square of the distance.

In a three dimensional universe the strength of the two forces will be equal at pi (3.141…) (Wisenox).

This difference in strength of the two forces is seen when a neutron, not within the nucleus of an atom, quickly converts into a proton, an electron, and radiated energy in the form of a gamma ray, while within the nucleus they can remain stable since the creation of the universe.

Energy is attracted to a positive charge and being stronger than the electric force it is able to displace it explaining the structure of the atom where electrons are forced away from the protons.

The strong nuclear force is a compression force of energy on the surface of the nucleus. It holds the nucleus together overcoming the repelling force between protons and blocking electrons from combining with the protons.

Nuclei are made up of both protons and electrons but as long the surface of the nucleus consists of protons the energy attracted to it will keep the atom stable.

If an electron becomes exposed on the nucleus’s surface, the force of energy attracted to the positive nucleus will expel it from the atom, resulting in beta decay. This decay creates an additional proton on the nucleus which, even though it increases the repelling force within the nucleus, it also increases the energy force holding the nucleus together, creating a stable atom.

This is why an alpha particle (nuclear molecule) is stable while the neutron (another nuclear molecule) is unstable even though the neutron is bound together by a force between an electron and a proton while a alpha molecule contains the repelling force of two un-neutralized protons.

A neutron has an exposed electron which is vulnerable to attack by energy while an alpha molecule consists of four protons, in a tetrahedron shape, surrounding two electrons.

The separation of matter into protons and electrons converts the internal force of matter into radiated forces creating both positive and negative electric fields. Because of the separation of the electrons from the nucleus, even though the charges of the proton and electron are equal, an atom will radiate a larger negative electric field than the positive electric field.

When atoms combine to form larger objects their radiated forces combine.

The radiated forces of matter (electric) and energy (gravity and magnetism) act in opposite fashions. As the energy forces of objects combine (like magnets) the strength and size of the radiated force increases while the internal force declines. (Think of magnetic flux lines of two magnets combining to form an external ring)

When two opposite charges combine the radiated electric force weakens and become smaller (neutron) as the force becomes internal holding the opposite charges together.

When similar magnetic poles are forced together the size and strength of the radiated magnetic force decreases as it becomes a stronger internal repelling force between the magnets. When similar electric charges are forced together the size and strength or the radiated electric force increases as the internal force is converted to a radiated force.

These are the two forces radiated from a single source that causes objects to form an elliptical orbit. A larger stronger attractive energy force pulls objects together while a smaller repelling negative force of matter keeps them separate.

When more energy is added to an object it causes an expansion of the radiated attractive energy force. This will shift the equilibrium point towards neighboring objects which will compress the repelling force of neighboring objects, thus increasing the strength of their repelling forces.

As the energy is transferred to the positive matter of other objects the increased repelling force between the objects will force the objects apart equalizing the forces between the objects. This is the way light (An electro-magnetic wave) transfers energy between the force fields radiated by objects.

Energy flows to equalization from higher energy per unit mass (proton) to lower energy per unit mass. It and the electric force are acting at a subatomic level. The spectral lines of different elements are a result of orbiting electrons interfering with the energy being radiated from the nucleus.

The fact that energy will equalize between objects with different structures, even if though they may not be able to absorb the wavelength of the other object, shows the wave nature of light is function of the matter radiating the energy, not the energy being transferred.

When a satellite is in an elliptical orbit, the two attractive energy forces from the satellite and object orbited equalize at the apogee and perigee. When the forces of the two objects are equal there can be no transfer of energy between the objects. At these points there is a shift in the relative strength of the energy and matter forces of the objects.

At the apogee, where the distance between the satellite and orbited object is greatest, the repelling matter force between them is weakest allowing the attractive energy force to decrease the distance between the objects and increase the velocity of the satellite.

The increasing attractive force between the satellite and the object orbited, in turn causes a compression of the radiated repelling force and at perigee, where the distance between the satellite and orbited object is smallest, the repelling force becomes stronger causing the distance between the objects to increase and the velocity of the satellite to decrease.

This is the exact opposite of what Newton’s Law of Gravity predicts.

Objects do not move in a random manner as the Law of Entropy asserts nor in straight lines as Newton’s first law of motion says. Thing move as the flow of energy dictates and the equalization of forces with neighboring objects directs.

Energy produces motion and energy decreases with distance form a source so nothing has a constant velocity. Light will slow in a declining energy field (red shift) and increase as an energy field becomes stronger (blue shift) so Einstein’s theories or relativity are wrong.

The Second Law of Thermodynamics is wrong as energy is a subatomic force that flow to protons equalizing with the units of mass, not with the amount of energy of objects. There is no special Quantum Physics for the atom as it is the source for all that we observe in the universe.

To believe that the laws of physics would be different because from our perspective things appear large or small is absurd.

We do not create the laws of physics but discover them. Giving a name to ignorance, such as creating a “photon” because we don’t know if light is a particle or wave, does not make it knowledge.

Hiding or ignoring questions is not the same as answering them and believing the observer creates the reality is insanity. Not every place in the universe is the center of the universe.

Newton’s Law of Gravity is wrong since the size of an object is determine by it energy field and the distance between objects is from the surface radiating the force to the equilibrium point between the objects.

The attractive force between objects is F=E1/d1 + E2/d2 where d1 and d2 are the distance from the object to the equilibrium point, not F=Gm!M2/d^2 where the distance to the objects centers.

Today’s physics ignores reality and compounds errors by trying to make reality conform to theory.
