A few years ago, to the question of how the solar system was formed, any average person would answer if he woke him up even in the middle of the night. A similar question posed to an astrophysicist would have spawned a lecture listing several versions of the origin of the solar system.
But no one would ever, even in the most terrible delirium, dare to assert that our solar system was artificially created by some Higher Forces. Meanwhile, today a number of scientists are seriously considering this particular version.
DANCING AROUND THE STAR
Traditional ideas about the structure of the solar system suddenly swayed and almost collapsed in early 2010. The reason for this was the discovery of a planetary system called Kepler-33, which was discovered in the constellation Cygnus by workers at the NASA astronomical observatory. It would seem, where are we - and where are they, what is the relationship? It turned out to be the most direct one.
The fact is that the celestial bodies of Kepler-33 turned out to be similar in many respects to the planets of the solar system. There was only one serious difference: all the Kepler-33 planets lined up around their star, as if in order! First there was the largest planet, then the smaller one, and so on. Marveling at such a literal stencil arrangement of celestial bodies, scientists recorded the Kepler-33 planetary system as an anomaly, because the planets are located chaotically in their native solar system.
Closest to the Sun are small planets - Mercury, Venus and Earth, and the largest - Jupiter and Saturn - are located strictly in the middle. However, scientists later changed their mind - after carefully studying another 146 star systems similar to our solar. It turned out that in each of them the planets revolved around the star, as in Kepler-33, located exactly as the size of the planets decreases from the largest to the decreasing direction.
Only our own solar system, with its random arrangement of planets, was out of the picture. As a result, a number of scientists immediately suggested that the Sun and the planets around it are arranged in such an anomalous, as it turned out, order in an artificial way. And this was done with a very caring hand.

IS THE EARTH AGAIN THE CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE?
Continuing the study of the solar system, scientists have come to another strange conclusion. Despite the fact that the planets of the solar system really revolve around the sun, they all turned out to be in a peculiar way attuned to the Earth. For example, Mercury surprisingly synchronously moves with the Earth, and once every 116 days it completely rises on the same straight line with the Earth and the Sun, but it always turns out to be turned to the Earth by the same side.
Venus behaves in a similarly incomprehensible way. She, like Mercury, also once every 584 days approaches the Earth as close as possible, but turns to us again always in the same side. Venus generally behaves extremely "indecent": while all the planets of the solar system rotate clockwise, it rotates in the opposite direction. The question "why?" still remains unanswered.
JUPITER'S Evil Secret
However, of all the planets of the solar system, Jupiter seems to be the most amazing astrophysicist, which, according to the logic of things, simply could not form where it is now. It was he who, as it turned out, introduces disharmony into the arrangement of the planets of the solar system. The question of who or what placed it in this place in outer space also remains open to this day.
Of course, the official science will immediately lead several quite official versions of the origin of such an anomalous arrangement of the planets of the solar system that suit the scientific world … But what's the point? Indeed, almost one and a half hundred planetary systems are formed in a completely different way!
So maybe some forces really chose the Earth for their own experiment? This fantastic, at first glance, version is adhered to by quite serious scientists, including the head of the laboratory of the department of physics of planets of the Institute of Space Research of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Doctor of Phys.-Mat. Sci. Leonid Ksanfomality.
SUN WHERE IS YOUR SISTER?
Astrophysicists consider the absence of a second star in the solar system no less serious anomaly. Yes, exactly the second! It turned out that the overwhelming majority of planetary systems like the Solar have two stars, and only we have only one. True, some scientists are inclined to believe that there was a second star, but then, due to fission, it was transformed into a planetary system.
And today this former star is named … Jupiter. And a number of American astronomers are sure that the second star still exists - supposedly it is the legendary Nemesis, orbiting the Sun for 12 thousand years. So, it is to this version that American astrophysicists Walter Krattenden, Richard Mueller, and Daniel Whitmir are inclined on the pages of Physorg.
Exactly forty years ago, the Soviet scientist Kirill Butusov published his work "Symmetry Properties of the Solar System." In it, he scientifically substantiated the presence of absolute symmetry in the solar system. For example: Jupiter - Saturn, Neptune - Uranus, Earth - Venus, Mars - Mercury. The scientist also assumed the presence of a second star in the solar system.
However, what modern scientists are now trying to calculate and then discover in practice has long been known to the ancient civilizations of the Earth, apparently even observing the second star in the firmament. This fact is evidenced by many ancient rock paintings and petroglyphs around the world, depicting a second star next to the Sun.
In world mythology, she received the name Typhon, and in description it looks like a classic neutron star. Her image can be found near the ancient astronomical observatory near Mount Sevsar in Armenia. The pictogram clearly shows the trajectory of the motion of an unusual stellar body, similar to a star, near the Sun. There are similar drawings in San Emidio.
Moreover, in all the figures scattered around the world, a neutron star, flying past the Sun, throws a "lump" of matter in its direction - a prominence. Since the tongue of the prominence is somewhat similar to a snake, ancient artists loved to depict it in the form of a dragon fighting with the hero-god, personifying the Sun. There are similar drawings in Scotland, on Egyptian frescoes, in Australia, Mexico - in a word, all over the Earth, where ancient civilizations once lived.
SOLAR SYSTEM-SPACE TAXI?
It is impossible today to answer unequivocally the question of whether the solar system was artificially created or not. However, it can be assumed that there is a certain force in the world that can arrange the planets at its discretion. And in favor of this version - the same hypothetical prominence, released towards the Sun by a passing star, so often found in rock paintings.
If we assume that it was not a star, but some kind of artificial object, everything falls into place. Indeed, back in 1948, Fred Zwicky argued that it is possible to move entire star systems in space, dropping the most powerful thermonuclear bombs on them. The large mass of the star in this case will keep its planets near the star, but will allow them to move in space with all the inhabitants. Who knows, perhaps someday humanity will have to use a similar way of moving in the Universe.
Today, when enthusiastic researchers are stepping on the heels of professionals, and the exchange and dissemination of information thanks to the Internet has ceased to be a problem, it is hoped that in the very near future humanity will still receive an answer to the question of how the solar system was created.
