Solar Wind
The Sun's radiation applies an outward force on particles orbiting the
Sun. Particles less than about a 100,000th of a centimeter in diameter
should have been "blown out" of the solar system if it were billions
of years old. Yet these particles are still orbiting the Sun. (a)
Conclusion: the solar system appears young.
a. After showing abundant photographic evidence for the presence of
micrometeorites as small as 10-15 g that "struck every square
centimeter of the lunar surface," Stuart Ross Taylor stated:
"It has been thought previously that radiation pressure would have
swept less massive particles out of the inner solar system, but there
is a finite flux below 10-14 g." Stuart Ross Taylor, Lunar Science: A
Post-Apollo View (New York: Pergamon Press, Inc., 1975), p. 90.
Large lunar impacts are continually churning up and overturning the
lunar surface. Therefore, for these micrometeorite impacts to blanket
the surface so completely, they must have been recent.
