I know people who strongly believe that there may be something along the lines of a "brown dwarf" star, moving at faster than the speed of light, that will come along and pick up the earth and carry it back near Kolob. It does make some sense, as the theorized effects of such an action would cause: earthquakes massive tidal waves the moon to turn to blood the sun to go dark, like sackcloth the stars to fall, and to all appear to fall out of the sky |
I find it very difficult to believe that the earth was moved at anytime there was living matter on it subject to death. Since nothing suggests to me life could survive the journey in my humble opinion. Freezing more likely.
Given that, I have wondered how the earth would become Celestialized. I could see that an external force acting upon the earth to make the change (crystallin). Like you said before, Our Lord has to obey the laws of physics that we do know and probably a number of laws we have yet to discover. It has been suggested that the millennium will be a time of doing Family History but your theory has made me wonder that maybe that it just might be moving day (the earth). I have always believed that since there is more light in the center of the galaxy that is where Our Father and others family members live. That to live near the Celestialized Beings (the center of the galaxy) that it would take a miracle.
As for dead planets, the theory is that the heavier elements would be closer to the center while the lighter elements would be thrown farther out toward the edge of the solar system. Thus, the gas giants are farther out and the more solid planets in the inner part of the solar system. You roll that all up and you have one perfectly placed planet for life with one thing missing. It is believed that the earth was hit by a massive object that ejected enough material to form the moon and possible give it it's metal core forming it's magnetic field protecting it from cosmic radiation. You take away those dead planets and the earth would be made up of different materials and at a different location. Everything had it purpose.

I did a search on the 4 major works and all of the discussion about Kolob was in the Pearl of Great Price in Abraham. I think the two major points I got out of it was our time compared with the Lord's time. That for one of his days its a thousand of ours. The other was what was mentioned earlier by someone about our sun getting its power though Kolob. My interpretation would have to be about light and dark matter rather than having a proximity to Kolob. Any comments?
I also wanted to clarify that I think the earth would freeze and not burn up due to the fact that you would be moving away from the sun. According to Eistien's Theory of Relativity the earth would be flattened as it reached toward the speed of light. Also, as you passed other sun's you would probably loose atmosphere and other thing's like when a comet gets closer to the sun and has a tail. Given that I have any trouble with the earth moved in the past or even in the future.
You should note that I do not discount the theory since not all things spiritually always make sense at first but what knowledge that I have now would suggest that it would not work at first glance, that is moving any planet. It also makes no sense to spend that much energy just to move it here as well.

Why Create Dead Planets? |
QUOTE |
Eventually, Jupiter's immense gravity caused it to act as a shield for Earth, protecting Earth from being overly bombarded. Without the particular size and placement of Jupiter, Earth could still be subjected to intense pummeling by asteroids and comets, and life may not have been able to develop as it did. |

The Moon affects the survival of life on Earth in three ways: Lunar tides, stabilizing the tilt of Earth's axis, and slowing down Earth's rate of rotation |
QUOTE |
The other planets stabilize earth's orbit and therefore promote life on earth: The other planets, and also the stars, serve as gravitational and magnetic stabilizers to maintain earth's stable orbit around the sun. Imagine the sun, mercury, and venus pulling the earth. Because of the location of earth's orbit, it would tend to decay inward--towards the sun--resulting in extreme heat and an inability to support life. But God created Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto to provide a stabilizing pull outward to keep the earth in its orbit. Likewise, if Mercury and Venus were not there, the earth's orbit would tend to decay outward--resulting in extreme cold and lack of life on earth. So the planets [and even the stars!] provide a stabilizing effect upon earth, so that it can maintain life! This stabilization was described by... Pierre-Simon marquis de Laplace [March 23, 1749 --March 5, 1827] |

The two planets that most strongly affect the tilt of Earth's orbit are Jupiter and Venus, Muller said. Jupiter is large an massive, so the planet exerts strong gravitational forces on Earth. Venus is relatively close to Earth, so it also has a large effect on the tilt of the orbit. |

Comments: Your speculation about planets, Kolob and the condition of the Earth in the past and the future needs a bit of rethinking. The prophets indicate over and over that the heavens we see now are not those seen in the past. (2 Peter, Ch. 3.) Thus, we cannot use the present arrangement of planets and conditions on the Earth as a jumping off point for understanding the words of the prophets. We must learn what things looked like in their day, in the distant past. All ancient cultures report a vastly different arrangement of astral bodies. Joseph Smith and his closest associates had much to say about this as well. I'd be happy to share some of those quotes with you if you like.

Comments: Well, of course this is only my opinion. A lot of pondering and a little common sense came I to this understanding.
I see this topic as this question also. At the end of the millennial reign and the kingdom of Heaven is upon the earth, what is the purpose of the other eight planets in our solar system? Well, we know this that the Celestial Kingdom has 3 degrees of glory, I might be safe to say the other two have 3 degrees of glory also. Well, common sense tells me that if we have 9 planets the first three planets can possibly be the celestial planets. the next three the terrestrial planets and the last three the telestial planets. Now thinking that would make use of the other planets in our solar system. Now in terms of making these planets inhabitable I think at or during the millennial reign the Gods and us would some how do that.
That's a possibility that makes sense to me.
