But now note the significant coincidence between the period of the throb produced by the sun-raised tides, and that natural period of vibration which belonged to our earth as a mass of molten material. It therefore follows, that the impulse given to the earth by the sun harmonized in time with that period in which the earth itself was disposed to oscillate.
In fact, if we could venture to project our glance sufficiently far into the future, it would seem that the earth must ultimately have its velocity checked by the sun-raised tides, until the day itself had become equal to the year.
In this he was anticipated by Kirkwood, who, however, supplied an answer to his own objection. Sun-raised tides must have acted with great power on the diffused masses of the embryo planets. This amounts to saying that even if they started with retrograde rotation, it was, by solar tidal friction, quickly rendered direct.
