The Sun and its Planets as detectors for invisible matter

TL;DR

This paper proposes that gravitational lensing of invisible matter by the Sun influences solar activity and Earth's atmospheric ionization, with correlations observed at specific planetary positions and lunar phases.

Contribution

It introduces a novel hypothesis linking invisible matter, solar phenomena, and planetary positions, supported by statistical analysis of solar and atmospheric data.

Findings

Significant correlation between solar flares and planetary longitudes.

Correlation between Earth's atmospheric ionization and planetary positions.

Strongest correlation observed with lunar phase.

Abstract

Gravitational lensing of invisible streaming matter towards the Sun could be the explanation of the puzzling solar flares and the unexplained solar emission in the EUV. Assuming that this invisible matter has some form of interaction with normal matter and that there exist preferred directions in its flow, then one would expect a more pronounced solar activity at certain planetary heliocentric longitudes. This is best demonstrated in the case of the Earth and the two inner planets. We have analyzed the solar flares as well as the EUV emission. We observe statistically significant signals when one or more planets have heliocentric longitudes mainly between 230o and 300o. We also analyzed daily data of the global ionization degree of the Earth atmosphere. We observe a correlation between the total atmospheric electron content and the orbital position of the inner three planets. Remarkably, the strongest correlation is appearing with the phase of the Moon.
