This thread has indicated a sunspot correlation with cyclic effects of Jupiter’s gravity. The thing I find most interesting is the tight correlations between sunspot minima dates and the gravitational effect of Jupiter and Saturn over two cycles of the barycenter radius. The effect described does not look electromagnetic. Gravity moves the barycenter – how would planetary microwaves have a comparable effect on the sun?
