Whoa… Now I’m getting concerned. On your first plot in your first post you are plotting the number of sunspots against Jupiter’s distance from the sun. Just out of curiosity where did you get Jupiter’s distance from the sun? Was it somehow measured or was it calculated? And if it was calculated, what formula was used?

What is concerning me is the only formulas I’m familiar with are Kepler’s and Newton’s and it is this physics that is “Mainstream”. Now if you are using this “Dogma” physics to calculate your .97 R^2 number; then I’m getting confused. Are you trying to prove something is true or are you trying to prove something is false?
