The most fundamental mystery in science and in human imagination is the nature of our origins.  Throughout civilization, humankind had been obsessed with trying to understand how and why everything came into being.  This book builds on the solid foundation of understanding established by many great names from the past.   Each of their discoveries dispelled established myths pertaining to our origins.

    The works of Copernicus, Galileo, Keper and Newton gave astronomers an understanding of the way our Solar System (SS) functions.  In his quest for geometric solutions to planetary motions, Johannes Kepler (1571-1630) discovered the first Three Laws of Planetary Motion.  Keenly aware of the Golden Ratio (GR) that later became recognized as Nature's Phi geometry, he recorded it as "a precious jewel."  However, Kepler's attempts to solve the mystery of the geometric spacing of the six known planets proved futile.

    In 1766 Titius of Wittenberg fitted these spacing into a mathematical formula that became know as Bode's Law (BL).  Until 1995, the true significance of the BL spacing of planets remained a baffling mystery to anyone attempting to understand its meaning.

    Why are the first eight planetary orbits spaced geometrically?   Why don't the last two orbits comply with this geometry of the SS?  Most scientists have given up on trying to explain BL, discounting it as a mere coincidence in numbers!  But unlike pseudoscience, true science cannot discount data and facts simply because they are not understood.  In reality, BL is the enigmatic key that is unlocking the mysteries of the origin, spacing, evolution and behavior of our planets!

    In August of 1993, the significance o this crucial key to the origin of our SS was recognized by the author as simply a flawed version of the GR geometry "found flung broadcast throughout all Nature."  In 1994 and 1995, the precise geometric relationship between the GR and BL was detailed to reveal the Fourth Law of Planetary Motion (FLPM) that had remained and enigma for 400 years after Kepler's initial recognition in 1595 of the geometric mature of the spacing of the six known planets.

    This discovery attests to Einstein's belief in Nature's beautiful simplicity.  In the perspective of the new Fourth Law, it is finally possible to explain (beyond reasonable doubt) why the first eight planetary orbits are geometrically spaced in close accord with BL, and why the last two planets do not obey BL!

    Within the realm of this explanation lie the solutions to all anomalies of our SS.  Now for the first time, the geometric, fiery origin of the SS, the spacing of planets and the subsequent evolution of all planets and planetary systems via internal nucleosynthesis (IN) can be explained within the scope (and by the means) of natural is the only concept capable of making such claims and backing then with facts.

    The ideas in this book are the culmination of 22 years of research into all past and current beliefs about of planetary origins.  Not surprisingly some little-known, but accurate interpretations and a few brilliant ideas emerged from among the relevant hypotheses suggested throughout the pages of scientific history.  Sadly, some of the most astute observations and accurate interpretations have lain buried beneath the onslaught of more popular, but erroneous beliefs.

    For example, a number of name scientists, both past and present, have expressed their conviction that hydrocarbon fuels (gas, petroleum, coal) were not made from fossils.  Yet the "fossil fuels" hypothesis had prevailed from some 160 years in spite of the powerful evidence that has accumulated against it.   Even the crucial findings of William E. Logan (the originator) in the 1830s now are strong bits of evidence that argue against his erroneous conclusion that coal is a fossil fuel.  His valuable discoveries proved essential in deriving and proving the new "energy fuels" theory of 1973, a concept that seems destined to displace the "fossil fuels" hypothesis before the turn of the century.

    Strangely, the fallacy of the "fossil fuels" theory was the spark that eventually flamed into the discovery of the proposed Fourth Law of Planetary Motion.  This book is a condensed version of these revolutionary ideas that have intermeshed precisely during the past 22 years.  The proposed Fourth Law of Planetary Motion proved to be the final grand piece that ties everything together in the big jigsaw picture puzzle.  In the words of Logan:  My facts I now consider established beyond controversy.

    However, this revolutionary concept yet remains dormant within the greater scientific community, a situation that created the reason and purpose of this book.  Perhaps the future will grant a kinder fate than the past.
