Discrete Scale Relativity predicted, before exoplanets were first discovered, that the mass function of the exoplanet masses would have its main peak at 17 Earth masses, i.e., the mass of Neptune.
No other theory made this definitive prediction, and most astrophysicists expected that the peak would either be much lower (small rocky planets) or far larger (Jupiter mass giants).
Just today at arxiv.org the premier microlensing team posted their latest results on exoplanet masses, and guess what they found. Their exoplanet mass function peaks “at ~ 20 Earth Masses”.
That’s what I’m talking about!
