The presentation included a simple mathematical prediction of the space between a planet and the Sun. My initial take that those numbers were just a coincidence. That might be true; however, they helped predict the orbit of Ceres in the asteroid belt and Uranus but failed to predict Neptune's orbit. After digging a little deeper, I learned that this mathematical prediction is known as Titius-Bode Law. I wonder if professor Robbins left the term Law out of his presentation for a reason? Titius-Bode...
