Hello fellow amateurs,
After 17 hours of cranking, my computer generated
1,000,000,000
random solar systems resembling 55 Cancri in that there are 5 planets, 6 orbitals, with the 5th orbital apparently empty--as our near-sighted telescopes report for the
real 55 Cancri system--and, best of all, all
1,000,000,000
random solar systems satisfy the
law of increasing differences.
I also rechecked every single mathematical and statistical step against the textbooks. The only thing that changed, is that the critical value, once interpolated, edged up ever so slightly from about 0.99673 to 0.99678.
The attached chart only shows the very right-handed portion of the probability distribution (the left-handed tail extends all the way back to 0.5003, so it's useless showing all that). But you can see the critical value, and how the R-squared exceeds the critical value. Therefore, we
must reject the null hypothesis--
the law of increasing differences--in favor of our old friend--
the Titius-Bode law--for 55 Cancri.
I challenge
anybody to find
anything wrong with the present analysis. . . .
