Is the solar system highly ordered?

Do you feel that the solar system order is perfect?

I don't fear planets colliding with earth, nor do I fear a catastrophic event like a comet or meteorite strike. A system is ordered gives the feeling of safety. A crash does not seem eminent. Am I correct in my assumptions?

Well we have satellites in the air, and other testing equipment looking for approaching meteors. The Universe is not ordered in any way. It looks ordered to our human brains, because we're are used to short time periods. We live 80 something years and the universe has been around 13 billion years. Its looks ordered to us because we're in the middle of it. The Andromeda galaxy is on a collision course with the Milky Way.

The system is a reliable or unreliable system. It is reliable because of the natural protection systems and low probability of catastrophic events, but unreliable in that the system is complex. Similar to a computer. The Universe seems to act like a super infinite computer. Crash can happen, but corrections are constantly happening that prevent our galaxy from annihilation.

Electromagetic repels solar winds (correction from DNA)
Sun's Corona correctly converts matter into energy (electric sun)
Uranus, Venus, Saturn, and Neptune keep the earth orbital path balanced for life.
Milky Way Swirl arm is not overlapping and collide with large stellar mass (symmetry)

Jupiter has way more pull on the planet, than the ones you mentioned. Its massive. Gravity is responsible for the things you mentioned. That doesn't mean the universe is ordered though.

Sort of... what's left of it, but it still has moments like big comets smashing in Jupiter, traces of the last collision still be visible with a good telescope.

It used to be insanely chaotic, with asteroids and plantesimals flying around and smashing into each other willy-nilly, scars of which can still be in those craters on the moon, not to mention the way an asteroid wiped out the dinosaurs...

But overall, these days, it's not *too* bad, from a human perspective.
