Planetary dependence of melanoma

TL;DR

This study uncovers a statistically significant correlation between planetary positions and melanoma rates in the USA from 1973 to 2011, suggesting planetary gravitational focusing of dark matter may influence melanoma incidence.

Contribution

First evidence of planetary influence on melanoma rates, linking astrophysical phenomena with medical data and proposing a novel dark matter interaction hypothesis.

Findings

Planetary correlations in melanoma rates with high statistical significance.

Melanoma periodicity of approximately 87.5 days.

Support for the existence of streams of invisible matter affecting Earth.

Abstract

We present signature for planetary correlations following an analysis of monthly melanoma rates in USA for the period 1973 - 2011. A planetary relationship in medicine is observed for the first time. The statistical significance is well above 5 sigmas, while various crosschecking make systematics highly improbable as the cause. The observed planetary dependence in physics was suggestive for this investigation. Streaming invisible matter from the dark sector, whose flux can be occasionally enhanced towards the Earth via planetary gravitational focusing, and, even much stronger by the Sun, it may be the explanation for 1-10% of melanoma diagnoses. The derived shortest melanoma periodicity of about 87.5 days points in its own right at a short latency period of about few months. Contrariwise, the present findings strengthen the previous physics claim of streams of invisible matter.
