Daniel P. Whitmire
If two physical timescales are independent, i.e. they depend on different physics, then (statistically) there is no reason to believe that their values should be equal, even to an…
The Habitability of Large Elliptical Galaxies
Daniel P. Whitmire
Based on numbers of stars, supernova rates, and metallicity, a prior study (Dayal et al. 2015) concluded that large elliptical galaxies contain up to 10,000 times more habitable pl…
Periodic mass extinctions and the Planet X model reconsidered
Daniel P. Whitmire
The 27 Myr periodicity in the fossil extinction record has been confirmed in modern data bases dating back 500 Myr, which is twice the time interval of the original analysis from t…
Persistent Evidence of a Jovian Mass Solar Companion in the Oort Cloud
John J. Matese, Daniel P. Whitmire
We present an updated dynamical and statistical analysis of outer Oort cloud cometary evidence suggesting the sun has a wide-binary Jovian mass companion. The results support a con…
