Humm, sounds like a call for the REPULSION FORCE TEAM. Tada!
(Begin ZetaTalk[TM])
Indeed, as human science would have it plunging into the Sun at
that close range. Relatively speaking, the closeness of this
Jupiter sized planet to its Sun equate to a monster meteor
circling the Earth within its upper atmosphere yet refusing to
drop. The explanation of why these giants stay apart from each
other lies in their cores. The planet has a MORE SOLID core than
the Sun, which is gaseous, so has more bulk than its size would
reveal. Your gaseous planets are also more solid than you now
speculate. Thus both the Jupiter sized planet and its Sun invoke
what we have been calling the repulsion force, which keeps them
from touching each other.
Some will say that the rapid orbit is what keeps this Jupiter
sized planet from plunging into its Sun, but should run their own
math before making such a statement. It does not compute, as you
say. If you are to use your flawed math in arguing against us,
then use it against your own statements. Turnabout is fair play,
though many of our detractors are not the least interested in
being fair or even logical in their arguments. If our statements
challenge their gods, then we must be cast out from this message
board so they can return to being smug.
