Planetary relationships to birth (imputed conception) rates in humans: A signature of cosmic origin?

Planetary effects have been attributed to biological processes without scientific rigor. Some generic invisible slow matter from the dark Universe in the form of streams or clusters with occasional large flux enhancements due to planetary gravitational focusing is the driving idea and the only explanation we have. This work extends previous observations regarding relationships of diagnosed cancer (melanoma), which may provide additional insight into previously unrecognized factors also affecting other biological processes. Biological measurements in vitro and mutation rates are promising.

Gravitational focusing effects on streaming dark matter as a new detection concept

Cosmological simulations for cold dark matter (DM) indicate that a large number of streams might exist in our Galaxy. The present work incorporates gravitational focusing (GF) effects on streaming DM constituents by the Sun and the Earth preceding their encounter with Earth bound detectors. For streaming DM, the GF gives rise to spatiotemporal flux enhancements of orders of magnitude above the nominal DM density. Remarkably, due to Earth's rotation the derived flux enhancements appear as transient signals lasting about 10 seconds repeating daily for days or weeks. This work presents a novel opportunity for DM signal detection and identification, and the present simulation can be applied to any kind of invisible matter entering the solar system.
