And I keep tripping over that F=ma equation I learned sometime back (force = mass times acceleration). If we assume that the mass of Venus is constant, then to move it from the outer to the inner part of the solar system is going to take some big-time F to get the ball rolling, and then again to get it to stop, especially if we have only so much time to do this in. More time, and we can accelerate/decelerate more slowly, and so less force is required (if I have that right). But we have only a few thousand years. So if this big force exists, why haven't we seen any large planet-sized bodies move in the last few hundred years? Doesn't it ever bother anyone that all of the fun miracles and myths occurred when the data resolution was less than we have today? Why do those dragons live only on the edges of maps?
