He keeps using the word "conjunction" without defining what that means, but more importantly, without defining what forces are at work during a "conjunction." Is it gravitational forces? Something else? And finally, what does a Full Moon have to do with anything?! A full moon just means that from Earth, we can see the half of the moon that faces Earth. Just by invoking the full moon at all sounds like it's some occult interpretation.
It appears to me he is showing when planetary alignments are exerting compounded gravitational forces on the earth’s crust; i.e., when gravitational forces from two or more planetary bodies in alignment are pulling along the same vector; and also noting alignments significant (for the same reason) at alternate vectors either immediately before, during, or following the primary alignments. On its face, it seems plausible as the earth’s crust, if classical tectonic theory is correct, are segments floating on a molten base, and he is showing when planetary gravitational forces upon the earth will peak.
Well, the key word in your response is "appears".... it appears that he is showing such and such. But he doesn't actually say that, we are left to make assumptions about what he means. Unless he can show (or even utter) what he means, then I'm taking this with a fairly large grain of salt.
Of course, if he turns out to be right, I might rethink it, but with this video he doesn't even discuss what actual forces are at work in his predictive mode.
He talks astrology. Conjunction means when two stars are coming very close together. The Full Moon in astrology is often seen as a catalyst. I am no astrologer.
Don’t be confused by the nomenclature. It’s all astronomy. Stars that are very far away still have a big gravitational effect on their surroundings depending on their size.
But zero effect on us because of the great distance. If you double the distance, the force of gravity goes down by the square of that or four times smaller.
A full moon is on the opposite side of the earth from the sun. A new moon is on the same side of the earth as the sun. These make a difference in the tides.
A conjunction is when two bodies in the sky appear to be close to each other in our line of sight. That means, I we could actually feel their gravity from that far away, we would be getting a combination of the gravity from both bodies pulling on the earth from the same side.
So it's not occult, although I wouldn't think the gravity from anything in the solar system besides the sun and moon could affect anything here on earth.
I wonder if the Dutch guy is an astronomer or if he's actually done the math on how much gravity decreases with distance.
All good points. However, if the Dutch guy can't explain his thesis properly and others have to do it for him, and while making several assumptions... I appreciate your effort, but as to the video's maker, I'm not convinced.
As I said in my original response, he does not explain how the conjunctions affect Earth...people are merely assuming that it's gravitational, but he doesn't actually SAY that in the video. We are left to intuit what forces are at work, and it's THAT that I am faulting him for.
There are several definitions of "conjunction" ( https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/conjunction ) but the guy doesn't indicate which definition he's referring to. He's just sloppy in his approach...vague terms, unknown forces at work, conclusions left to the viewer, and so on.

Fair enough; how about this...how could an older guy with gray hair and a ponytail be wrong?
Heh... well sure, THAT'S never happened before, hehehehe...
Checkmate.

Probably you are right and it was my misinterpretation, but I am not sure and have no time to find it out on his very interesting website.

A video in English shouldn't be required to explain every single English word. Those were common terms that I learned in school.

The full movie moon is a reference to It’s position in relation to the earth and the sun. And all other planets for that matter.
Hmmm, ok.
I think he means 'Petticoat Conjunction'. You know, with uncle Joe and Billie Jo, Bobbie Jo, and Betty Jo. The beauties bathing in the water tower?
