Subject: Scientists Also Now Think the Earth Migrated

Migration of planets is the new zeitgeist.  Academic astronomers and
science commentators are fighting an increasingly rearguard action to
fend off the accusation that new theories of solar system formation
are sounding ever more Sitchinite.  Why?  Because the solar system
appears to be a far more complex beast than the old theories allowed,
and discoveries in other extra-solar planetary systems indicate the
central importance of catastrophism.  Many astronomers now believe
that star systems kick out planets routinely during their formation,
and also, due to the subsequent abundance of free-floating planets,
draw new planets in.

Well, that whole concept is equal in every way to Sitchin's theory
from 1976.  And now we're moving one step closer towards a union of
science and Sitchin, as Earth's origins themselves are considered:

""Planets don't like to stay still, they like to move," said David
Minton of Purdue University at the Space Telescope Science Institute
in Baltimore, Md., on April 10. This is proven by the discovery of
hundreds of extrasolar planets that reinforce a radical new idea that
would have never even been considered in the 1950s: Planet migration
seems the rule rather than the exception among the stars. This
explains the estimate of billions of "hot Jupiters," which are
predicted to have moved to orbits precariously close to their stars -
to the point of evaporating away. More recent discoveries find pure
water planets that must have migrated in toward their sun as ice
balls." (1)

As my friend Lee succinctly put it, "This fella has it ass-backward,
but it shows they're trying to understand why Earth is where it
is" (2).  What he means by this is that the David Minton thinks the
Earth migrated from a more inner location, whereas we think there is
strong evidence that the opposite is true, i.e. that Earth migrated
after a catastrophic event from the region of the asteroid belt.  But
the underlying principle is the same.  And if the conservatives in the
science community feel uncomfortable with all this, then it's tough.
If facts move us in the direction of Sitchin's Nibiru being a real
possibility, then they should be open to that, no matter what their
prejudices may allow.
