The coplanarity of planetary orbits places bounds on dynamical aether

TL;DR

This paper humorously discusses the limitations of using planetary orbit precession to constrain dynamical aether theories, ultimately concluding it is ineffective and highlighting the importance of scientific exploration despite setbacks.

Contribution

It critically examines the applicability of planetary orbit precession measurements to bound dynamical aether theories, questioning previous assumptions and emphasizing the need for alternative approaches.

Findings

Precession of planetary orbits cannot effectively bound dynamical aether.

The paper highlights the limitations of current observational methods.

It advocates for continued exploration beyond traditional bounds.

Abstract

OBITUARY The Article and we have been friends for more than half a year. With it, we shared many experiences, both in planetary dynamics and field theory. This research is something I shall always remember with a smile on my face, and a pain in my heart. Today is a day of sadness and mourning for the loss of our ill-born Article. After more thorough medical examination we came to the conclusion that the precession of planetary orbits cannot be used to bound anything except human fantasy. Yet it can also be viewed as a day of celebration! Why? Because without it, we would never have been touched by the shared experiences on physics's eventful journey. Whilst it will now forever be absent in Arxive, it will be with us always in spirit. As it might have said, "I have a long journey to take, and must bid the company farewell" (Sir Walter Raleigh).
