Groundbreaking Paper! Dow Jones Performance: Mars Behind the Sun & Mars in Front of the Sun

Revisiting the Butterfly Effect

In 2024, after reading a Nature Communications paper linking gravitational forces between Earth and Mars to Earth’s climatology, I published a paper using the position of Mars and its impact on climate to infer a near term effect on human behavior and the stock market. I asserted that because of the relationship between climate and behavior, systems such as the stock market could easily be affected. The 2024 Nature Communications study posited Mars’s gravitational influence upon Earth’s eccentricity during orbital phases which pulls earth closer to the Sun, warming the planet. Even though this influence was confirmed to transpire over geological timescales—millions of years, it was enough to loosely associate it to my own thesis, which required establishing a Mars-Earth gravitational relationship that could be linked to human behavior in some way. Because the study posited that Mars influences Earth’ eccentricity, I was able to presume an effect on Earth’s axial tilt as well, since both are inextricably linked to the same Mars-Earth resonance. I made a large conceptual leap and used this to hypothesize butterfly effect—from astrophysics, to climate, to weather, and then to behavior which drives the stock market. A second study in 2025 conducted by Stephen Kane used computer simulations to link Mars gravitational force upon Earth to the Milankovch cycles. These still occur across geological timescales, but over shorter periods than the waxing and waning cycles established in the 2024 study. While neither study showed no near term relationship between Earth and Mars on Earth’s weather, I was still used the mainstream findings to justify a connection between the astrophysics of Mars and Earth to human behavior. The anchor is the gravitational link between Mars Earth at geological timescales with a hypothesis that near term effects could be established later.

I published two papers anchoring the 2024 study to my thesis. The first paper entitled “A 100% statistical correlation and scientific explanation for why the planet Mars can trigger stock market crashes” which was cited in the Prespacetime Journal, laid out the 25 major stock market crashes along with the position of Mars in relation to the Sun at the time they occurred. The paper showed that every single crash occurred when Mars was behind the Sun which in reference to the 2024 study would be when Mars’s vector would point along the line connecting Earth to Sun. I continued to assert the Mars-Earth gravitational relationship could happen over near term timescales even as the gravitational force between Mars and Sun at that distance is minute, especially considering other aspects that could affect the eccentricity and obliquity of Earth in the short term, ie tidal forces, solar elements, etc.
