Re: Divine math and planetary orbits

It has been claimed that the planets follow a phi ratio, but they do
not - it is easy to calculate these values and see that they don't.

There was a theory put forward that included a ratio of 1.723 rather
than phi (1.618) which fits the average ratio better. This theory also
has a sine wave departure from the expected values and was used
successfully to predict a number of extra satellites of Uranus and/or
Neptune before discovery.

However the inbner and outer planets actually are nearer to making two
arithmetic series than one geometric series.
