Abstract

Although it is by no means clear that the Titius-Bode law of planetary distances is indeed a “law” (even though there are enticing indications), it is proposed that if one assumes that the law is a “law” and that the planets obey it, then this argues against recent large-scale evolution in the solar system. Put another way: one can believe in the Titius-Bode law or in recent large-scale evolution or in neither of them. But it appears difficult to believe in both of them.
