With (23) , we receive for the
distance
increase of a satellite circling around a central mass the relation
[18]:
(25)
For a world age of t1
=
15 .10 9
years and a moon distance of r »
38,0000 km, wherefrom results
= 1.7 cm/year.
To the tidal brake effect, 3.7 –
1.7 = 2 cm/year can be attributed.
Increase of the day length due to G ~ t - 2/3
The kinetic energy of the
rotating Earth is
![]()
(J = moment of mass inertia,
w = angular velocity, T = day
length)
If we start from a constant earth
mass mE and regard the earth, in
first
approximation, as an elastic body whose size changes reverse-
proportionally
to the gravitation pressure, then there is:

r E
= Earth radius)
With E = constant results:

(t = Newton time)
