Interesting, thanks for posting,
Reminds me of the following and makes me wonder if some future Earthquake(s), or similar natural seismic event/upheaval is what leads to this:
“Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof.” Isaiah 24:1
“the earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly. The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again. And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth. And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be visited. Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the LORD of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously.” Isaiah 24:19-23
I’m no scientist, but did study the 12 perturbations of Earth’s motion in an astronomy class in college. My gut instinct is that if you take all the perturbations collectively there will be some harmonic relationship that causes this. In other words, all the perturbations have some effect on the others and eventually this harmonic situation maybe could arise from this.
Interesting book on the subject:
