Recent Observations and Understanding Physical Meaning of Jacobi’s Virial Equation

Abstract

Fundamentals of all the planetary and Solar System sciences are tested first of all by the laws of the Earth movement, where the confidence limit to the laws can be checked by observation. More over, all the sense of human being is connected with this planet. As far as the techniques and instruments for observation were developed, then geodesists, astronomers and geophysicists have noticed that in the planet’s inertial rotation some irregularities and deviations relative to the accepted standard parameters and hydrostatic state conditions have appeared. Those irregularities that are often called as inaccuracies, number of which is counted by more than dozen, finally were incorporated into two problems, namely, variation of the angular velocity in the daily, monthly, annually and secular time scale, and variation in the poles motion in the same time scales. Just after the problems became obvious and have not find resolution in the frame work of the accepted physical and theoretical conceptions of celestial mechanics the latter lost interest in the problems of the Earth dynamics.
