Researcher From Cornell Confirms; Moon Orbit Is “anomoulous”

[Num7]

Cornell University associate Lorenzo Lorio, has researched and written a paper confirming observations made by many -- that the moon's orbit has become erratic. I've been following this story for several months, having noticed genuine irregularities...wondering if and when we'd hear from the scientists. Well, here's one brave soul from Cornell.

"On the anomalous secular increase of the eccentricity of the orbit of the Moon. The present-day models of the dissipative phenomena occurring in the interiors of both the Earth and the Moon are not able to explain it. A recent analysis ( Prior1st Feb 2011 (Netlethe) ) of a Lunar Laser Ranging (LLR) data record spanning 38.7 yrs, revealed an anomalous increase of the eccentricity of the lunar orbit.

A potentially viable Newtonian candidate would be a trans-Plutonian massive object (Planet X/Nemesis/Tyche) since it, actually, would affect e with a non-vanishing long-term variation. "

You left off a very important part:

A potentially viable Newtonian candidate would be a trans-Plutonian massive object (Planet X/Nemesis/Tyche) since it, actually, would affect e with a non-vanishing long-term variation. On the other hand, the values for the physical and orbital parameters of such a hypothetical body required to obtain the right order of magnitude for de/dt are completely unrealistic.

What he's saying in the above quote is that, while such a trans-Plutonian body is one of the few explanations they've come up with (so far,) the mass and orbit required of such a body would (of course) affect other planets far more than it would the Moon and thus it is an unrealistic explanation.

Simple explanation.

Chaos theory attempts to explain the fact that complex and unpredictable results can and will occur in systems that are sensitive to their initial conditions. A common example of this is known as the Butterfly Effect. It states that, in theory, the flutter of a butterfly's wings in China could, in fact, actually effect weather patterns in New York City, thousands of miles away. In other words, it is possible that a very small occurrence can produce unpredictable and sometimes drastic results by triggering a series of increasingly significant events.

Could this be applied to the eccentricity? If so, will it stabilize or ?
