No - they don't, except for a circle.

For Mercury 5*sqrt(4-3(a-b)^2/(a+b)^2) gives 0,999956 and
1-3(a-b)^2/(a+b)^2) gives 0.999650.

The difference doesn't look big, but the devation from 1 differs by an
order of magnitude.

The comet Halley produces .85 for X.

Only with 1-3(a-b)^2/(a+b)^2) as you listed.
Just try using .5*sqrt(4-3(a-b)^2/(a+b)^2) instead.

Since I don't have your values for a and b I can't check.




The values for the semi major axis were obtained from Princeton.edu
and the values for the semi minor axis were calculated by me with
the formula semi minor axis = semi major axis * sqrt(1-e^2):

So, since you use the eccentricity e to calculate the semi major axis,
what is the point of introducing a new "eccentricity constant" X?

1. What is the geometrical mening of X?
2. In what way is it useful?


smajora smina e
MER 57,909,231,029 56,672,064,712 0.2056
VEN 108,209,525,401 108,207,023,568 0.0068

PLU 5,906,438,090,764 5,720,709,449,730 0.2488

The two formulas for X differ indeed:

.05*sqrt(4-3(a-b)^2/(a+b)^2) 1-3(a-b)^2/(a+b)^2)
MER 0.999956281 0.999650256

EAR 0.999999998 0.999999985

JUP 0.999999871 0.999998969
SAT 0.999999797 0.999998377
URA 0.999999883 0.999999067
NEP 1.000000000 0.999999999
PLU 0.999904311 0.999234522

So much for you simplification of the formula.
Can you still not see where the error is?
You say my points are valid, and choose to ignore them.

X is more useful than SR and GR which cannot calculate any real elements of solar orbits.


A very strange idea.

X = X(e) = √(4-3⋅(1-√(1-e²))²/(1+√(1-e²))²)/2

e = 0.00 X = 1.0000000000
e = 0.04 X = 0.9999999399
e = 0.08 X = 0.9999990338
e = 0.12 X = 0.9999950691
e = 0.16 X = 0.9999842377
e = 0.20 X = 0.9999609449
e = 0.24 X = 0.9999175202
e = 0.28 X = 0.9998438029
e = 0.32 X = 0.9997265649
e = 0.36 X = 0.9995487110
e = 0.40 X = 0.9992881691
e = 0.44 X = 0.9989163362
e = 0.48 X = 0.9983958716
e = 0.52 X = 0.9976775062
e = 0.56 X = 0.9966953251
e = 0.60 X = 0.9953596037
e = 0.64 X = 0.9935455742
e = 0.68 X = 0.9910751195
e = 0.72 X = 0.9876855065
e = 0.76 X = 0.9829727662
e = 0.80 X = 0.9762812095
e = 0.84 X = 0.9664653233
e = 0.88 X = 0.9512997861
e = 0.92 X = 0.9256679486
e = 0.96 X = 0.8733242883
e = 1.00 X = 0.5000000000

So you have made a function which evaluates to something
very close to 1 for most eccentricities.
What's the point with that?

Wouldn't the function X = 1.0 be equal useful?

What does X tell us about the planetary orbits?

Mercury e = 0.2056 X = 0.9999562811
Venus e = 0.0086 X = 0.9999999999
Earth e = 0.0167 X = 0.9999999982
Mars e = 0.0934 X = 0.9999982007
Jupiter e = 0.0484 X = 0.9999998711
Saturn e = 0.0541 X = 0.9999997986
Uranus e = 0.0472 X = 0.9999998834
Neptun e = 0.0086 X = 0.9999999999
Pluto e = 0.2488 X = 0.9999043107

You said:
"X is more useful than SR and GR which cannot
calculate any real elements of solar orbits."

Can you please explain what elements of solar orbits
you can calculate using X?

A very good analysis by you. X may not be used to calculate solar orbits but it shows the various eccentricities of orbits are close to a constant.

Only because you made your eccentricity formula
to be near independent on the orbit shape.

How do you then explain, how could GR be able to predict
the unexplained extra precession of the Mercury orbit,
the famous success of the GR.

Come again?

The eccentricities of the orbits a
Mercury e = 0.2056
Venus e = 0.0086
Earth e = 0.0167
Mars e = 0.0934
Jupiter e = 0.0484
Saturn e = 0.0541
Uranus e = 0.0472
Neptun e = 0.0086
Pluto e = 0.2488

They are very different, and not "close to the same constant".

The values for your X, with same precision as above, a
Mercury X = 1.0000
Venus X = 1.0000
Earth X = 1.0000
Mars X = 1.0000
Jupiter X = 1.0000
Saturn X = 1.0000
Uranus X = 1.0000
Neptun X = 1.0000
Pluto X = 0.9999

So despite the fact that the eccentricities of the planets
varies a lot, your X is close to 1 for all of them.

So I repeat the questions:
What can the X tell you about the orbits?
Wouldn't the function X = 1.0 be equal useful?

Which, as quite a few of us have tried to show you, renders X utterly
meaningless, as it doesn't describe reality.

X is more useful than SR and GR which cannot calculate any real elements of solar orbits.


A very strange idea.

X = X(e) = √(4-3⋅(1-√(1-e²))²/(1+√(1-e²))²)/2

e = 0.00 X = 1.0000000000
e = 0.04 X = 0.9999999399
e = 0.08 X = 0.9999990338
e = 0.12 X = 0.9999950691
e = 0.16 X = 0.9999842377
e = 0.20 X = 0.9999609449
e = 0.24 X = 0.9999175202
e = 0.28 X = 0.9998438029
e = 0.32 X = 0.9997265649
e = 0.36 X = 0.9995487110
e = 0.40 X = 0.9992881691
e = 0.44 X = 0.9989163362
e = 0.48 X = 0.9983958716
e = 0.52 X = 0.9976775062
e = 0.56 X = 0.9966953251
e = 0.60 X = 0.9953596037
e = 0.64 X = 0.9935455742
e = 0.68 X = 0.9910751195
e = 0.72 X = 0.9876855065
e = 0.76 X = 0.9829727662
e = 0.80 X = 0.9762812095
e = 0.84 X = 0.9664653233
e = 0.88 X = 0.9512997861
e = 0.92 X = 0.9256679486
e = 0.96 X = 0.8733242883
e = 1.00 X = 0.5000000000

So you have made a function which evaluates to something
very close to 1 for most eccentricities.
What's the point with that?

Wouldn't the function X = 1.0 be equal useful?

What does X tell us about the planetary orbits?

Mercury e = 0.2056 X = 0.9999562811
Venus e = 0.0086 X = 0.9999999999
Earth e = 0.0167 X = 0.9999999982
Mars e = 0.0934 X = 0.9999982007
Jupiter e = 0.0484 X = 0.9999998711
Saturn e = 0.0541 X = 0.9999997986
Uranus e = 0.0472 X = 0.9999998834
Neptun e = 0.0086 X = 0.9999999999
Pluto e = 0.2488 X = 0.9999043107

You said:
"X is more useful than SR and GR which cannot
calculate any real elements of solar orbits."

Can you please explain what elements of solar orbits
you can calculate using X?

A very good analysis by you. X may not be used to calculate solar orbits but it shows the various eccentricities of orbits are close to a constant.


Come again?

The eccentricities of the orbits a
Mercury e = 0.2056
Venus e = 0.0086
Earth e = 0.0167
Mars e = 0.0934
Jupiter e = 0.0484
Saturn e = 0.0541
Uranus e = 0.0472
Neptun e = 0.0086
Pluto e = 0.2488

They are very different, and not "close to the same constant".

The values for your X, with same precision as above, a
Mercury X = 1.0000
Venus X = 1.0000
Earth X = 1.0000
Mars X = 1.0000
Jupiter X = 1.0000
Saturn X = 1.0000
Uranus X = 1.0000
Neptun X = 1.0000
Pluto X = 0.9999

So despite the fact that the eccentricities of the planets
varies a lot, your X is close to 1 for all of them.

So I repeat the questions:
What can the X tell you about the orbits?
Wouldn't the function X = 1.0 be equal useful?

In terms of X, the orbits are indistinguishable.


So the answers to my questions a

Q: What can the X tell you about the orbits?
A: Nothing.

Q: Wouldn't the function X = 1.0 be equal useful?
A: Yes.

What makes the parameter X useless.
It is useless even as a constant, because it is not a constant.

X is a constant of 4 decimals for 8 out of 9 planets. It is a lot
for such a diverse group of entities. It joins them together in a common bond of extraordinary magnitude.
