• Jupiter is two and a half times more massive than all the other planets combined. Because of its huge mass, thus huge gravity, and its location between the Earth and the cloud of comets surrounding the solar system, Jupiter either draws comets (by gravity) to collide with itself, as it did in July 1994, or, more commonly, it deflects comets (again by gravity) right out of the solar system.

• In Wetherell’s words, if it were not for Jupiter, ‘we wouldn’t be around to study the origin of the solar system.’ “Neither would we be around if it were not for the very high regularity in the orbits of both Jupiter and Saturn.

• Also in July 1994, French astrophysicist Jacques Laskar determined that if the outer planets were less [orbitally] regular, then the inner planets’ motions would be chaotic, and Earth would suffer orbital changes so extreme as to disrupt its climatic stability.

Remember if you can disprove any of these facts convincingly, I am open to suggestion, email me at mikkyb007@optusnet.com.au ASAP…

 In other words, Earth’s climate would be unsuitable for life . . .
