The Tiamat Collision: A Ledger, Visualised · Signals from the Periphery

THE TIAMAT COLLISION · A LEDGER
'As a mussel, he split her into two parts' (p. 113)
the origin story of the whole scenario, priced from its own sequence
the masses, the orbits and the Moon's rulers are measured
the impulse, the impactor and the new orbit are two-body arithmetic
the break is a published scaling law, shown with its spread

'The satellites of Marduk smashed into Tiamat, and not Marduk himself' (p. 110); 'split her into two parts' (p. 113); 'North Wind ... carried this part, destined to become Earth' (p. 113); 'hammered to become a bracelet' (p. 114); Kingu 'pulled along' (p. 119)

the book's own sequence, with page numbers; no mass, speed, angle or energy anywhere in it

REPORTED

The main belt 4.0×10⁻⁴ M⊕ (Pitjeva & Pitjev 2018), Ceres 39% of it; the Kuiper belt 0.020 M⊕; the Moon 0.0123 M⊕; Mars 0.107

published values; the lower half the book requires is 2,500 times the belt, and the book concedes the shortfall (p. 95)

MEASURED

The braking impulse from the dialled orbit to a 1 AU perihelion; the single-impulse ellipse that returns to the impact point; the second burn that must be paid at 1 AU

two-body mechanics, no free parameter; a body with perihelion beyond 1 AU cannot deliver the second burn

EXACT

Largest remnant after the impact that moves her: Leinhardt & Stewart 2012 scaling, shown with and without the unequal-mass correction

a published law with a known spread; the band is drawn, not hidden; head-on is the kindest case

MODELLED

Earth-Moon Δ17O within 5 ppm (Young 2016); lunar core 1-2% (Weber 2011); the Moon 4.51 Gyr (Barboni 2017), Earth's oldest zircon 4.40 (Wilde 2001)

the three rulers the book never looked at; the leash that decides whether Kingu comes along is exact

MEASURED

Nibiru's size, period and inclination from INST-70's reading of the same book; Tiamat's orbit and upper share; Nibiru's own miss distance; the debris spread

liberties the book leaves open, taken and labelled; every one is a dial

MODELLED

Whether a sequence that is consistent in its own order of magnitude, and fails on the belt, the second burn, the core and the clock, is an origin story or a story

the one question this bench refuses to close for you
