Jacobi dynamics. A unified theory with applications to geophysics, celestial mechanics, astrophysics and cosmology. (Q626379)

From the preface to the second edition: ``The first edition of this book was published in 1987 (see Zbl 0669.70001). Since that time new scientific and practical results in application of Jacobi dynamics were obtained. The results, which we include into the second edition, are as follows. The oldest scientific problem of the origin and evolution of the Solar System bodies on the basis of the Jacobi's oscillating dynamics has found its resolution. We discovered by calculation that the present day orbital velocity of each planet is equal to the first cosmic velocity of the contracting Protosun having its radius reduced to the semi-major axis of the planet's orbit. And also the orbital velocities of the planet's moons are equal to the first cosmic velocities of the corresponding protoplanets having their radiuses successively reduced to the semi-major axes of the moon's orbits. It looks like the protoplanets and their protosatellites were created from the separating upper shells of their contracting parents. The Sun itself and the small bodies like the comets, asteroids, meteors and so on, have the same history of creation. The discovered mechanism of the Solar System body creation proves to be the physical basis of the Kepler's laws and the inverse square distance law of the outer force field distribution of a self-gravitating body. It also proves the idea that the ``heavens power of gravity'' of body's orbital motion has the electromagnetic nature and is induced by the parental body. We succeeded in understanding physical meaning of the Jacobi's virial equation obtained from the Newton's equations of motion written for a system of \(n\) interacting mass-particles. It was found that in his \(n\)-body problem, Jacobi, while transforming the initial equations, has converted the Newton's forces and moments of the interacting particles into their volumetric values, namely, into the energy and oscillating moment of inertia. Doing like this, Jacobi has changed the force as a measure of the particles interaction by energy of their interaction. From physical viewpoint, Jacobi's approach opens the way to search the common nature for all the known physical models of the matter interaction. In order to prove this idea, we show in the book that the Jacobi's virial equation, besides the Newton's equations, is also derived from the equations of Euler, Hamilton, Einstein and quantum mechanics. This allowed us to put the subtitle of the book as a ``Unified theory of the interacting matter motion''\dots In this connection this problem and the physical meaning of the Jacobi's virial equation in the new Chapter 2 are discussed. In order to demonstrate all new effects in dynamics of stars, planets and satellites, including creation and evolution of the Solar system, Chapters 6, 7, and 8 were revised and updated by applying the above discoveries. Also, the new Chapter ``The nature of electromagnetic field of a celestial body and mechanism of its energy generation'' is introduced. The former Chapters 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 under new numbers were as a whole preserved. The second edition was prepared by V. I. Ferronsky.''
