Crystals II: 2nd Battle of the Titans: Clash between Hypercosmic and the Supernatural (Celestial Battle)

By Antonis Anastasiadis

The Crystals series – as you may already know – will hopefully be completed in a decalogy which will start from the creation of the universe, will transcend all human civilization, will come to the present and continue into the future, summarily showing the development of human civilization. In the first book, we saw the discovery of an object with strange properties, the study and finally the ‘cosmic’ journey in which we observed the Big Bang, the creation of galaxies and star systems.
The 2nd book refers to the creation of the solar system, the creation and structure of the earth, the appearance of life on earth and its developmental course. This whole period, which in fact was initiated about five billion years ago, is elaborated with mythological fights and dwells, fitting in reality to mythological forms as natural forces, and that is why they are named ‘Supernatural’. Thus, we observe the drama of archetypal life on planet earth in the form of Supernatural Powers.
The Titans with their leader, Cronos dominate the scene in the 2nd book. The structural upheavals on planet earth are presented in the form of epic battles and struggles, as well as the calamities and extinction of life but also the emergence of new life forms on earth. The 2nd Clash of the Titans brings us to about 50 million years ago with the final triumph of the Supernatural Powers in their fight against the Hypercosmic Powers followed by their slippage into the arrogance of power which will cause the 3rd Clash of the Titans.
Continuing on this magic journey and keeping the White Crystal as the ‘vehicle’ of our transport, the reader of this and the other books in the series will observe the development of the human civilization from the creation of the universe to this day, through the use of myth, allegory and real events and scientific knowledge.

Summary of

The 2nd Battle of the Titans:

Clash between Hypercosmic

and the Supernatural

The Crystals series – as you may already know – will hopefully be completed in a decalogy that will start from the creation of the Universe, will traverse the entire human civilization, will reach the present and will continue into the future, summarily following the development of human civilization.

In the first book, we saw that our story began in a Greek provincial city where an object with strange properties and potential was discovered. It was subjected to systematic scrutiny by the Greek and international scientific community, who proceeded with an experimentation to gauge its potential. The results were amazing. At the final Acropolis Experiment, a journey commenced that began from the Big Bang and continued until the creation of the galaxies, the birth and death of first generation stars.

The second book is titled ‘2nd Battle of the Titans: Clash between Hypercosmic and the Supernatural (Celestial Battle)’ and refers to the creation of our solar system, the creation of the terrestrial structure, the appearance of life on Earth and its evolutionary course. All this period, which in fact commenced about five billion years ago, is permeated with mythological struggles, conflicts and dwells in the form of titanic battles, depicting a reality embellished with mythological imagery denoting natural forces, which for this reason are referred to as ‘Supernatural’. So, in the 2nd Battle of the Titans, we will bear witness to the drama of life on planet earth, from its early appearance till about 50 million years ago.

In the second book, therefore, the Titans with Cronos in the lead, assume central roles. The state of structural flux of the earth, of the nature and of life, the disappearance of life forms and the appearance of new ones and in general, the mass destructions Earth suffered through the ages, are presented in the form of epic battles and dwells. The 2nd Battle of the Titans covers up to the point of fifty million years ago with the final preponderance of Cronos (Supernatural Powers) fighting against his father Uranus (Hypercosmic Forces) and his gradual debasement towards the arrogance of power (5th mass destruction, disappearance of the Dinosaurs) which will trigger the 3rd Battle of the Titans, with Cronos (Supernatural Forces) clashing now against Zeus (Natural Forces).

Continuing with this magical journey, through myth, allegory but also real events and true scientific knowledge, the reader of the following books will witness the development of the entire human civilization, starting from the creation of the Universe till today.

2nd Battle of the Titans:

Class between Hypercosmic

and the Supernatural

(Celestial Battle)

OUR STELLAR NEIGHBOURHOOD

(Sun-Earth-Planets)

Introduction

In the summer of 1979 in Drama, in the cool oasis of the ‘Waters of St Barbara’, a couple in love was enjoying their afternoon walk, strolling slowly along and speaking to each other in low voice. In the waters, on the basin of a small artificial waterfall, they found a strange object of immense potential, the White Crystal, as would later become known. When they came in contact with it, they ‘entered’ into a strange ‘journey’ of sorts, something like a trance of intuitive vision. They alerted one of their secondary school teachers, for whom they harbored feelings of special love and respect, Dr Messis, who then introduced them to an excellent young physicist from the University of Thessaloniki, Dr Vasilis Xanthos from Drama.

Dr Xanthos showed great interest from the start and thought that the object in question should receive greater attention. So, he contacted Dr Nanos, a highly and internationally renowned physicist who was in Athens at the time, so that they could study the crystal jointly and to a greater extent. The study, which took place in Drama under complete secrecy, yielded quite a number of interesting results, which however could not be verified in situ but which however convinced scientists for the need to pursue further study of the crystal. Thus, it was decided that the crystal should be taken to Athens. When the team got their initial significant findings, they decided to inform the international scientific community. One of the first to show an active interest in the crystal was Carl Sagan who was followed by Stephen Hawke, Paul Erntes, Gregor Perlman and many others. But the White Crystal was still surrounded with skepticism.

Following quite a few efforts and deeper scrutiny, the scientific team eventually prepared for the scheduled ‘cosmic’ journey, starting from the beginning of the creation of the universe till current time which was set for June 1999 under the code name ‘the Acropolis Experiment II’. Despite getting quite promising results during ‘the Acropolis Experiment I, they had failed to yield the expected results. In the 1st Battle of the Titans: Clash between the Vacuum and the Hypercosmic, we witnessed a ‘cosmic’ journey from the beginning of time till the creation of the second generation start systems. Our solar system is one of those.

In the second part of the ‘Crystals’ series, the 2nd Battle of the Titans takes place, during which period the creation of our solar system, our Sun, our planet and life on Earth is completed. It will continue with the clash and conflicts of the opposing forces which will end in the final domination of the Titans against Dark Uranus. Part II therefore includes the clash between Hypercosmic and the Supernatural Forces, on the battlefield of the surface of the Earth, resulting in the destruction that took place for millions of years, but mainly in the period from about 600 million years to almost fifty million years ago.

We remind our readers that the story is being narrated by two young people, Orpheus and Eurydice, who took part in the 2nd Acropolis Experiment. So far, everything had been proceeding normally in a perfectly calm and orderly fashion. The audience, enchanted and captivated, was following the narration, experiencing each moment of the ‘cosmic trip’ and relishing every recreated image by absorbing every word of the narrators. The narrators had some water, some people ordered coffee while Eurydice asked for a glass of juice. They remained silent for some minutes.

In the meantime however, some scientists who were acting as observers were visibly anxious with intense anticipation drawn all over their eyes for the narrative to continue, but they showed patient expectation. Five or six of them were at the site of narration. They asked Mr Theodosis certain questions quickly. The rest were in another place where they could see and hear the narrators through the monitors. At the same time they maintained direct eye contact with the narrators through a big glass screen separating them from the narrators. They were all enthusiastic, in a state of scientific excitement and transcendental uplift. Up until that point in the narration, many scientific discoveries seemed to be confirmed, while in other cases, it would seem that science was moving in the right direction. Yet, the data from the readings of their scientific equipment from which they believed they would arrive at additional conclusions, had not yet been analyzed. But they would not have shown anything significant. Orpheus and Eurydice were almost magically, completely and reliably relating to them every event of the ‘cosmic journey’. The scientists who had not taken part in that ‘journey’ could almost ‘see’ the images described.

We also remind our readers that the whole process of narration of the ‘cosmic journey’ was being recorded by audiovisual equipment under the command and responsibility of Mr Iliopoulos, head of the technical team. At the end, and to the utmost satisfaction of the audience, the narrators started their narrative again. Eurydice was the first to speak, picking up from the point they had left off. That is, from the point they referred to the creation of the galaxies in their present form and their solar systems. Thus, they started their narration right at the moment of the creation of our own galaxy and the creation of our own planetary (solar) system.

Our galaxy

Running to and fro in the room with the video recording equipment, Mr Iliopoulos, drenched in sweat, was making sure that everything was functioning properly to the last detail. No mistake could be tolerated. The technical support team, hand-picked by himself personally, have been working feverishly. The main members of his team, those, in other words, who were responsible for the installation of all the equipment recording the events, e.g., Mrs Photiadou, Mrs Giagozi, Mrs Giagkou, Mr Theodorides, Mr Samaras and Mr Karpetis, had already been nominated by the international scientific community for naming a group of asteroids in the Kuiper Belt after them, in recognition of their services. When everything was ready, Mr Iliopoulos informed the scientific team to initiate the description of the events of the ‘cosmic journey’. Absolute quiet and anticipation, almost a religious experience, reigned in the room, where only the sweet, crystal clear voice of Eurydice could be heard.

‘Starting over the description of our ‘cosmic journey’, we first need to make clear that this journey is taking place in fast pace forward and so, we lose important bits of information. If it is the megacosm we are talking about, i.e., galaxies and solar systems, the lost information is negligible and it is highly likely that were are approximating truth quite a lot. But if it is the microcosm we are referring to, for example, the creation of life and its evolutionary course, or if we are dealing with issues involving quantum mechanics, chances are we are approximating truth within a large margin of error. This means that we should take into consideration the probability of misperception of things. This is quite important and under no circumstances should it escape our attention.

Since therefore the ‘building’ of the Universe was determined by the four Titans, this meant that during the process of ‘building’ sensible matter, the Universe was being presented to us like a hologram of a four-dimensional time-space continuum, just as it is being studied by science, in other words. In that way, the ‘projected’ sensible matter was being partitioned into galaxies and star systems. Occasionally of course there were accidents, collisions and mergers among galaxies but also premature supernova explosions from giant stars. Together, all these processes comprised the cosmological lab for the creation of the galaxies and second generation star systems, thus helping the creation but also speeding the process of the appearance of life.

Oceanus, with the help of his sister Tithe, was estimating the geometry and determining the distinct positions of the galaxies within the Universe and the levels and their distinct planes that also predetermined the relevant initial distances among them. Cronos, with the help of his sister Rhea, was responsible for the number and the positions of the solar systems in each galaxy but also about the total number of photons that would move per galaxy, thus determining the dimension of time. Iapetus, with the help of his sister Mnemosyne, was responsible for the form of the solar systems and the number and placement of the planets in it. Hyperion, finally, having special responsibilities, with the help of his sister Thea or Euryphaessa, was the one who triggered the initial ignition in the star at the center of every solar system, after of course first carefully checking the star’s material and regulating the final details. All those titanic forces of the Universe were functioning in seamless cooperation between them, under continuous inter-empathetic self-awareness that emanated from the Unifying or Unified Power or Uranus, as had been called by the ancient Greeks. The common foundations of the Universe on which the galaxies were now being ‘built’, had already been ready since the beginning if its creation. There were the four fundamental interactions.

As we were all experiencing that process of the creation of the galaxies, we were feeling the smell of sweat of the titanic forces in that hyper-effort of condensing matter into galaxies and then into solar systems. Our lived, conscious or metaphysical processes of perception, whatever that was, was now being focused on a spiroid galaxy on which the titanic powers of the Universe had decided to set the foundations of their incarnation. On that galaxy started – we could say – the mystical subconscious inter-empathetic effort of the Titanic Powers to wrench free from their father, Uranus, which will reveal itself later, during the creation of a particular solar system with eight planets, five planetoids and many asteroids. During the buildup of that planetary system, the Titans will set the final foundations for their conspiracy and their eventual revolt. The strongest Titan of all, Oceanus, did not wish to topple Uranus but was seeking greater freedom, independence of movement and greater responsibilities. But their main target was to restrict the power of the Principle of Causality, which was setting up a sluggish and illiberal universe, and the reinforcement of the Principle of Randomness which would permit the creation of life in the oceans of future Earth. The moderate Oceanus wished for the partial toppling of his father Uranus, contrary to the other three leading titanic forces that wished for the definite toppling and the takeover of power by themselves.

As we were observing the titanic forces creating the 2nd-generation galaxies, we suddenly felt a strange pang, since we felt we were witnessing the construction of our galaxy, about 13.5 billion years ago. In that special spiroid galaxy, the titanic powers would create a planetary system on which they would set up their own reign. The diameter of that galaxy was about 80 to 100 thousand Light Years¹, with a perimeter of about 200 to 300 thousand Light Years, comprising about 200 to 400 billion star systems. Based on our observations so far, from one edge of the lens-like galactic nucleus, an arm is split into two arms, the Norma Arm and the Cygnus Arm, while from its other edge, a second pair starts off under the names of Carina Arm and Sagittarius Arm. This is the spot that our Earth, the home of humans, is found.

Our galaxy² is one of the most typical and commonplace spiroid galaxies of the Universe, with two initial spirals which then ramify into four to end up eventually in twelve spirals moving clockwise, as shown by the movement of the spirals. It is the bright belt with the indeterminate borders that we observe high up in a clear sky at night. Our galaxy comprises a gigantic group of billions of star systems, nebulae and interstellar matter as well as of dark matter and energy, as is the case with all galaxies. The distance of our planetary system from the center of the galaxy is estimated at about 27 to 28 thousand Light Years, or about three quarters of the radius of our galaxy from our galactic center.

When that spiroid galaxy had been complete and the creation of that special solar system was well under way, the titanic forces started conferring amongst themselves, setting in practice their conspiratorial plans against Uranus, that is, against the Unified Power in motion. However the actual clash was yet to come.

Initially, for the while they were under the leadership of Oceanus, the only thing the rebels wished for was greater freedom and an increase of their jurisdiction to achieve greater range of choice, something that the Principle of Causality forbade. Following a suggestion of mother-Earth, ‘Gaia’, they also included the liberation of all their imprisoned brethren in their demands. That had been their initial target and that was what they were aiming at in the first place. Thus, they had been putting in extra attention and care in setting up that small part of the Universe, in order to create their own independent kingdom. They also wanted that to be beautiful and well-protected. For that reason, they tried to disassociate and isolate themselves from the unified self-awareness of the universal consciousness that was emanating from the Unified Power (Force). They tried to achieve that by using dark matter, dark energy and by creating a smaller mirror image galaxy just in front of the particular galaxy, so as to conceal it from the sight of the Unified Force.

At the same time however, there was another separate conspiracy hatching within the same colluding group under Cronos, Iapetus and Hyperion, who were struggling for possession of their own vital space, as they were jealous about the power of Oceanus. Thus, at the moment of the creation of the third planet in that special solar system, they started paving the way they would put their plan into effect. And while their initial plans had been to create twelve planets in that planetary system and inhabit the fourth, when they were in the process of creating the eighth planet, they decided to act, whereby they stopped the creation of the next three planets that were left since then incomplete and whose material was eventually used by the five known dwarf planets, taking the form of planetoids. Because they had changed their plans based on the new circumstances, the third planet seemed to be the optimal one. They therefore paid great attention to that special planet that would later be named ‘Earth’, in honor of Gaia, the mother of the Titans, who was helping her children to acquire their own vital space’³

Our Planetary System

Almost out of breath from the effort and her zest to complete her presentation, Eurydice stopped her description. She grabbed a glass of water and gulped it all down. Orpheus had already noticed Eurydice’s exhaustion and had made sure she would be offered that glass of water. While she was drinking her glass of water, she beckoned Orpheus to continue with the description of the cosmic journey. So, rested Orpheus took over the description while the scientists in the audience were restless and held their breath, fearing that the two young people would have a change of heart and stopped the description. So, Orpheus went on with the description, to the general delight and satisfaction of everyone involved.

‘Almost 13.5 billion years ago, a special spiroid galaxy had been created in the Universe, amongst many billions of similar galaxies. In a corner of that galaxy, at the edges of one of its spirals, stellar matter made up of hydrogen and matter from dead protostars started to condense. The titanic forces of the Universe, in seamless cooperation, still under the form of energy and gaseous mass, had been accumulating stellar matter in a particular discrete point, under the guidance of the Triarchy of Oceanus, Cronos and Hyperion, always with the help of Iapetus. They had paid special attention on that particular planetary system, since it had been selected as the final stage of their own completion and incarnation.

While they were working for the construction of that solar system, they condensed as much matter as needed so as to create a yellowish-red sun, of such a mass so that it would be in a position to provide the necessary energy for at least ten billion years and the necessary brightness level so as to protect life. They studied it, making sure well ahead that it would be much smaller than the giant suns, so as to avert a fast burnout of its nuclear material, something that would have precluded life in its planets. It therefore ought to have the optimum mass so as to facilitate the creation, the development and preservation of life on one of its planets. For the same reasons, the distances and the sizes of the planets were estimated and determined, so as to support the fourth planet on which life was to appear. But in the meantime, clashes with Uranus started, at which point the titans left their work incomplete and proceeded with a change of plans. Doing certain minor adjustments and changes, they shifted the planet of life to the third planet, since that had become the one that served their purposes now. And this planet was of course our beloved Earth.

When enough matter from galactic gases and stellar dust had accumulated around a particular gravity center, the titans prepared themselves in a ceremonial fashion to jump-start the ‘Star’, the heart of that planetary system. At the heart of the sun, Hyperion blew in life, igniting the central core of the solar system that started to pulsate from the first thermonuclear reaction. The heart of our sun started ticking, initiating five billion years ago a series of nuclear fusions that would transform hydrogen into helium. Engaging in a voluptuous exotic dance with his wife, Euryphaessa, Hyperion gave birth to the sun, the Moon and Io but also to certain planetoids. Thus, this humble star was born with such a size and mass so as to be able to control the eight planets, the five planetoids and many asteroids and warm them as much as necessary. It is estimated that for another five billion earth years, it will keep illuminating the planets orbiting around it, along their 180 satellites. The titanic powers endowed the third planet from the sun with all their heart and breathed life in it. It was the blue planet, ‘EARTH’.

When the thermonuclear reactions of the hydrogen turning into helium ceased, the temperature at the core started decreasing. As a result of that, pressure also decreased, reaching a point whereby the pressure exerted from the exterior layers that surrounded the helium gas of its core that the star consisted of now, could no longer be contained. Thus, a slow, gradual collapse of the external layers started towards its core. This also triggered an increase of pressure and temperature at the core, due to this gravitational collapse. When the temperature of the continuously contracting core of the star reached about 200*10⁶ degrees Kelvin, then the helium gas existing in its core initiated another thermonuclear reaction, fusing helium (He), initially into beryllium (Be), followed by the fusion of helium and beryllium into carbon (C). That process of course presupposed that the temperature at the core would have well exceeded one hundred million degrees Kelvin. At the same time, the star got warm and expanded, since its gravitational collapse stopped due to the fact that the energy produced now at the core could overcome gravity, turning the star into a red giant that will absorb its nearest planets, in the case that it would have a planetary system. From that point onwards, the star would continue living, burning up helium and turning it to carbon, gradually passing into old age.

In its effort to continue living, our sun will turn into a red giant, absorbing its nearest planets, most likely the two first ones and probably the third as well. Perhaps it will just repel the third. Thus the sun would acquire the necessary conditions for a new series of nuclear reactions that would now turn helium into carbon, as we said above. When the remaining helium at the core finishes, it is easily surmised that only carbon will have remained at the core, and that star will have gone past the rest of the 10% of its remaining life. Since the remaining mass of our sun cannot be greater than 1.5 solar masses⁴, after all helium is used up as burning fuel, it will become a white dwarf, which in turn, after slowly but steadily cooling down in millions of years, it will eventually turn itself into a black dwarf, remaining nothing but a stellar corpse, moving aimlessly into the Universe. With a dead sun, the planetary system around it will also be cooling for the following years, remaining lifeless, waiting for an event, so that it, too, will become food for a new stellar system or end up in the event horizon of some Black Hole.

Our Planetary or Solar System consists of its central star, the sun, the eight planets and the five planetoids, the approximately 180 satellites but also all objects that are retained in orbit around the sun, due to its gravitational field. In general, our solar system could be partitioned in five areas: starting off from the sun, the first area includes the inner planets, Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars that possess a stable crust surface like that of the Earth, mainly consisting of silicon, iron, etc., and for these reasons, they are called terrestrial or telluric planets. The second area is the area of the asteroids, right after the Martian orbit, that consist of small celestial bodies, amongst which, planetoid ‘Ceres’ resides. The third area includes the outer gigantic, gaseous planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. The fourth area is the area lying outside our solar system that starts right after the Neptunian orbit. The Kuiper Belt⁵ is the area of Circumstellar Scattered Disc Objects (SDO) within which planetoid ‘Eris’ resides. Finally, the fifth area is the Oort Cloud where our solar system ends. Together, the last two areas comprise a unified wide expanse, making up the outermost area of our solar system.

So, the analytic structure of the solar system, in ranking order of the planets, planetoids and the asteroids is: the Sun⁶ in the center, at about 150 au⁷ from Earth, followed by Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, the Asteroid Belt, Ceres⁸, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, the Kuiper Belt, Pluto⁹, Haumea¹⁰, Makemake¹¹, the Circumstellar Scattered Disc Objects (SDO), Eris¹², Comets, Heliopause, Bow Shock and finally, the outermost system with the spherical Oort Cloud¹³. The rotation of the planets around their axis follows the pattern of the rotation of the sun around its axis, that is, counterclockwise. Proper planetary rotation is the rotation that follows the pattern of solar rotation. Inverse rotation occurs in Venus, Uranus and Pluto, which rotate in a direction opposite to that of the sun. Rotations follow almost circular orbits, except in certain exceptions in whose cases, their planes almost coincide. Using as a reference plane the plane of the orbit of the Earth, which is called the elliptical, we observe that the deviation of the orbital planes of the other planets is smaller than 10 degrees.

All these were either created or began their creation five billion years ago from a gigantic molecular cloud of our galaxy, which had been separated and positioned at a particular distinct point that today harbors our solar system, comprising a complete, unified system. The objects with the greater mass orbiting around the sun are the eight planets, including the smaller Pluto, which recently was demoted from a planet to a planetoid. The other objects are the planetoids, the Kuiper Belt, the Oort Cloud and the various celestial bodies occasionally entering our solar system. The orbits of every object are almost elliptical and almost coincident with the plane determined by the elliptical of the Earth, at a width of less than 10 degrees.

At the central point of that gigantic molecular cloud, the Sun was originally created. From the moment the sun was energized, the molecular cloud, that is, the galactic matter that had accumulated around it, continued with its swirling motion and, aided by the uniform pressure exerted by the sun rays, gradually, distinct points of matter accumulation started to form where matter began to condense, following distinct orbits around the sun. The first condensation of stellar dust occurred at a distance of 70 million kilometers (0.31 A.U.)¹⁴ from the sun and created the first planet, so-called Mercury ¹⁵. It is the smallest planet in the planetary system after Pluto. It is even smaller than Saturn’s satellite, Titan. The second planet to be created from the accumulated matter would be Venus¹⁶, the so-called Evenstar in the afternoon and Morning Star in the morning, at a distance of 108 million kilometers ((0.73 A.U.) from the sun. The third planet to be created was our beautiful Earth¹⁷, at a distance of 150 million kilometers (1 A.U.) from the sun, with its accumulation of matter given particular attention by the titanic forces to achieve the creation of the blue planet, accosted by its satellite, the Moon, the fifth largest satellite in our solar system. In this planet the titanic forces will breathe in life using material from the stellar corpses of the past that were moving freely in the Universe. The fourth in the row planet to be created would be Mars¹⁸, at a distance of 228 million kilometers (1.67 A.U.) from the sun, also called ‘the Red Planet’, due to its color which is the effect of iron trioxide, accosted by its two satellites, Phobos and Deimos. The first four planets are called Inner or Terrestrial planets and possess stable crusts sharing a number of common elements.

The four planets to follow are the Gigantic planets, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune that together with their satellites create a defensive belt for human civilization, attracting, due to their gravitational fields, most of the stellar objects that appeared on their side. So, the fifth in a row planet, and the greatest of our solar system is Jupiter¹⁹, at a distance of 765 million kilometers (5.1 A.U.) from the sun, accosted by its 67 satellites, the largest of which include Ganymede, Europa, Calisto and Io. It is the gigantic planet that could have become a star if its mass exceeded 1/10 of solar mass. The sixth in order planet to be created was Saturn²⁰, at a distance of 1.53 billion kilometers (9.53 A.U.) from the sun, accosted by its 62 satellites, the largest of which is Titan, which is the second largest satellite in the whole solar system, even larger than planet Mercury. The seventh planet to be created was Uranus²¹, at a distance of 2.87 billion kilometers (19.1 A.U.) from the sun, accosted by 27 satellites, the largest of which is Titania. The eighth planet and the fourth in size after Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus is Neptune²², at a distance 4.5 billion kilometers (30 A.U.) from the sun, accosted by its 13 satellites, the largest of which is Triton"²³

Our Complete Solar System

After taking in a deep breath, Orpheus continued nonstop almost immediately, casting his eye on Eurydice who seemed to be still tired, holding a glass of juice in her hand that is almost empty.

‘After the creation of the first eight planets, the titanic forces were accumulating stellar matter and all the remains of the initial molecular cloud of our solar system following their initial plan for the creation of the other four planets so as to correspond to the twelve titanic forces. But, as we said above, clashes had already begun between the three Titans and the strongest but also most moderate of them all, Oceanus, who did not wish to reach the point of irrevocable toppling of Uranus. In any case, the time had come to set in motion their plans for independence from Uranus. Upon completion of the solar system, the titanic forces would commence the process of their declaration of independence. For that reason, they were speeding up their work, the closer they came to the process of the creation of the planetary system. The sun had of course already been functioning and sending its rays to the already completed planets. The ensuing clashes, the Titans’ haste and in their preparations in general, caused them to neglect their main work responsibility, that of the creation of the planets. Thus, the rest of the four planets remained incomplete, eventually assuming the form of planetoids under the name Dwarf Planets, while the rest of the material, either in the form of molecular cloud or chunks of stellar matter, were left to roam freely and following a random course, were eventually directed toward particular areas of our planetary system, such as the Asteroid Belt, the Kuiper Belt¸ the Interstellar Scattered Disc Objects (SDO) and the Oort Cloud.

Thus, those first eight complete planets and the other – finally five – dwarf planets that remained incomplete, were accordingly named after the titanic powers. But during the third Battle of the Titans between the Supernatural and Natural forces, i.e., the clash between the titanic powers of Cronos on the one side and the Olympian Gods and Zeus on the other, the names were changed. In other words, with the takeover by the Olympians, the names of the Olympian Gods were given to the planets, if we exclude the grandfather and the father of Zeus, i.e., Uranus and Saturn respectively, which were retained in honor of the two, as well as the name ‘Earth’ in honor of Gaia who had taken sides with the Olympians.

Between Mars and Jupiter and at a distance of between 2.1 – 3.3 AU from the sun, there was an area, today known as the Asteroid Belt²⁴ that was neglected by the Titans. It is the border that separates the terrestrial (inner) solid-crust planets from the giant (outer) gaseous planets of the solar system. Occasionally, small groups of objects may escape from the main Asteroid Belt area and reach the orbit of Jupiter. Such groups are the Greeks and Trojans. They are made up of the material that was forgotten when the clashes of the titanic forcers against Uranus commenced, and remained drifting aimlessly in space. The material from those asteroids could create a dwarf planet but the great gravitational force of Jupiter did not permit it. If such celestial body had been created it would most likely have become another satellite of Jupiter by getting in orbit around it. It could also have been crushed to pieces due the planet’s great gravitational force. In the area within the Main Asteroid Belt, there is the incomplete dwarf planet Ceres²⁵ at a medium distance from the sun of about 2.77 AU. It was named after Goddess Demeter (Ceres in Latin), protector of Sicily, the home of the scientist who discovered it. Along Ceres, there are about sixteen known smaller objects of a few hundred kilometers in diameter as well as hundreds of thousands of even smaller sizes. The value of the asteroid belt is of great scientific interest since the belt includes untouched original material that has remained unaffected for 5 billion years, like that from which our planetary system was created. That material offers itself for study so that we can better understand the manner our planetary system was created, the building material used and its makeup in general. Past the Asteroid Belt, Ceres inclusive, lie, the giant planets of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, as already mentioned, followed by the Kuiper Belt.

The Kuiper Belt consists of small, frozen stellar objects. It is a disc along the plane of the planetary orbits, i.e., coincident to that of the Earth’s elliptical, situated in the outer area of the Solar System, beyond the average orbit of Neptune, at a distance of 30 AU (~30-50 AU). The belt consists of two kinds of objects: small objects, similar to planet Pluto moving around the sun in a slow orbit, and comet nuclei. It is considered as something like a second asteroid belt, beyond the ‘Main Asteroid Belt’ and it is a line of defense for the civilization on earth against the objects entering our planetary system from the outermost expanse²⁶. Pluto²⁷, the dwarf planet residing within the Kuiper Belt, follows. It was up until recently considered the smallest planet and the furthest from the sun at an average distance of 5.93 billion km (43.13 AU). Then the planet Haumea²⁸ originally named Leto by the titanic powers, follows. It resides within the Kuiper belt, at an average distance of 6.5 billion km (43.13 AU), travelling along with its two satellites and belongs to the post-Neptunian objects. There is also another dwarf planet within the Kuiper Belt, Makemake²⁹ originally named Mnemosyne by the titanic forces, at an average distance of 6.9 billion km (45.8 AU).
