Some aspects of the Earth evolution

Furthermore, at such wind intensity and so large pressure gradients, there would occur the deceleration of the natural rotation of planets rotating reverse the pressure gradient (see Fig. 1.11).

Then Atsukovsky supposes that due to the velocity gradient, aether is dragged by the celestial bodies and builds up their mass; with it the bodies rotation decelerates proportionally: "As all bodies are the gravitation masses, they all absorb the aether from the environment, as a result their mass increases. Such mass increase occurs quite slowly, imperceptibly, especially in comparison with other processes. However for large bodies these changes have been not only noticed but even measured. The Earth expanding on the account of aether absorption has been suggested as long ago as by Yarkovsky [38]" [37, p. 223]. And though the aether transformation into the weighty matter by way of aether drag by the material body is rather doubtful (the tested facts and description of physics of phenomenon are obviously not available), none the less the fact of the Earth crust growing in time has been studied by many authors and has definite merits and demerits to take them into account in developing the general conception of the Earth evolution. On the whole, the aethero-dynamical approach enables Atsukovsky to explain quite simply and naturally many phenomena, in that number the magnetic field of Galaxy, the latent mass effect and known cosmological paradoxes: thermodynamic (thermal death of the universe), photometric of Sheso - Olbers (1826) [39] and gravitation of Neumann - Seeliger [40].

Thus, as we see after all above authors, the planets were formed from the substance of Protosun. The same after V.G. Fesenkov (70th years of 20th century) [34, p. 15], the similarity of chemical composition of the Sun and the Earth indicates their origin from some common source, so his hypothesis is classified as nebular, too. Hypotheses of this class present the celestial bodies origin at the periphery of celestial bodies of larger structure.

The hypothesis by E. Schatzmann [41] is thought one of the most plausible of the recently developed nebular hypotheses. It states, "the protoplanet nebula from the very beginning had the state of convective-turbulent mixing. It contracted quite slowly, the substance emanation from the equator of rotating nebula into the protoplanet disk occurred gradually, beginning with the distances corresponding to the Pluto orbit, till the contemporary Mercury orbit" [35, p. 42]. At the last stage of contraction, the Protosun actively emanated the charged particles into space and slowed its rotation on the account of this magnetic deceleration, passing in this way its angular momentum to the protoplanet cloud, and via it - to the planets.
