There is a theory that the (proto) Earth formed at the asteroid belt and got crunched maybe 4 bya - during, or starting the late heavy bombardment that preceded plate tectonics and life on Earth. Maybe time has destroyed or distorted evidence of this collision but it seems to me there might be patterns in the distribution of asteroids showing a "trail" back to the approximate location where "Heaven and Earth" were separated.
1) as I look at data on asteroids, all I get are orbital inclinations based on the ecliptic - where do I find this data based on the sun's equatorial plane and do the asteroids show any concentrations along it? Okay, thats two.
I'd like to see if there is a "tilt" or something unusual about the "plane" formed by the main body of asteroids. If its a trail of debris we might find the crumbs.
It seems to me the planets and asteroids should be orbiting the nebular plane, like Mercury around the Sun (or does it?). If they dont, why?
2) Does Saturn's rings "point" to Pluto when the latter is near or at perihelion?
3) Is there any significance in the similar ascending nodes of both objects?
4) Is there any significance in the 2:1 ratio in Pluto's closest and furthest distances after subtracting Saturn's distance from both?
According to the theory, Pluto was a satellite of Saturn and left it during some ancient disruption. I'm sure I can come up with a few more
