- On a slightly more serious note - an abstract from July 1992 'Science"
- "Chaotic Evolution of the Solar System" (p 56)
-
- "The evolution of the entire planetary system has been numerically integrated
- for a time span of nearly 100 million years. This calculation confirms that
- the evolution of the solar system as a whole is chaotic, with a time scale of
- exponential diveregence of about 4 million years. Additional numerical
- experiments indicate that the Jovian planet subsystem is chaotic, although
- some small variations in the model can yield quasiperiodic motion. The
- motion of Pluto is independently and robustly chaotic."
-
- Also
-
- "Another unsettling feature of the chaotic behavior we observe in long-term
- planetary integrations is that nothing dramatic happens. This is compounded
- by the fact that in no case have we unambiguously identified the mechanism
- responsible for the chaotic behavior. This lack of mechanism and lack of
- obvious irregular behavior is in marked contrast to the clearly understood
- mechanisms and irregular character observed in other examples of chaotic
- behavior in the solar system, for example, asteroids on chaotic trajectories
- near commensurabilities...."

- Anyway, it appears that if you wait enough millions of years, the inclination
- and orbit of the Earth may well shift by itself, though whether it will shift
- enough to satisfy you is hard to say.
