Hi My own posting today on Usenet.
I would be glad if someone could help me with how to calculate this for some examples to see if there is any reason in it.

To: [email protected] Could the accelerating tidal effects http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidal_acceleration be cancelled by retarded gravity effects http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_gravity ? If either of these effects are acting on a body its orbit will become unstable. Tidal forces are almost always accelerating and the retarded gravity effect is decelerating an astronomical body. Maybe there are conditions when the two effects balances each other and maybe these conditions form the structure known as the Titius series which is purely empirical and not yet explained http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titius –Bode_law . Exoplanets give new cases to test this idea. Moons, rings and pulsars could also be tested against this idea. David
