Oops, back to inane bull shit, too bad, but not surprising...
Oops, too bad,
origin, that good contributor going off on a tangent. The Analogy of standing waves in a bathtub sloshing around and keeping ducks in certain places, the troughs, are words used by Prof. Halpern of Philadelphia, not nebel's. You probably can get the book at the public library, as I did, and read it yourself. Justifying calling an accomplished author's work BS is a bold move, task.
On another language site's discussion of --Solar pulsations, as radiated waves to shape Planet orbits, -- the valid objection was raised, that
these have never been measured. Nebel's response is, that
these perturbations that , Chladni-plate-like, rattled proto -planetary disks matter into rings (as we see in the ALMA images), were features of a y0unger , more unsettled Sun, of wich we today are seeing only a faint echo. and
Material being herded into areas defined by orbit radius (that correspond to Pulsation wave length) can even now be seen around the Lagrangian points L4 and 5,
gravity wells still holding the Trojans and Hildas that would be found located in the
troughs of the prior standing waves.
Examples, of how 2 or more pulse sources*, will create standing wave patterns, are published on Google images. *of which the Sun is known to have many,
