Exoplanet System Quantization?
Robert L. Oldershaw
What should we conclude if planetary systems show clear evidence
for quantized planetary spacing and dynamics?
For instance, if the Bode-Titus Law is not a "fluke",
but rather is more the norm for multi-planet systems,
what do we make of that?
See NASA data release + news conference on Thursday, 8/26/10.
The debate over the true nature of the structure and dynamics
of Atomic Scale systems is very far from over. Bohr won the
early rounds, but I predict that Einstein will be the ultimate
victor,
and his insistence on rationality, causality and determinism
[in the sense of nonlinear dynamical systems theory] will be
vindicated,
albeit with some surprises added.

Einstein failed to see that his GR was all about
inertia. A clock does not measure time, it measures inertia.
Inertia sets the speed of light. Light goes faster at
higher altitudes because there is less inertia,
equivalent with gravitation, because of the equivalence
principle, see eotvos experiment.
Inertia gives us certainty, and predictability.
Take it away, and objects do no longer have to remain at
rest, and can have infinite speeds.
Infinite speeds mean no determined position. An object
that has zero travel time can not be pinpointed at a
certain position. Zero travel time means being at two
places at the same time.
It is dead easy, the Heisenberg inequality draws the
line between Newton-Einstein and the other world, were
uncertainty rules and inertia fails.

It has already been given a name as Ovendens conjecture or Principle of
Least Interaction and it seems to be roughly speaking true in the long
term that a group of satellites orbiting a central massive object will
tend towards evolving orbits which minimise their close mutual
interactions or else get ejected.
AE Roy discusses it in his book Orbital Motion c.a 1980's in the context
of stability of the solar system. He gives the moons of Uranus as an
example and credits generalisation of Bode's law to a Miss Blagg.

Correct!
There are other potential implications, but a distinct Planck's
constant that applies in the case of Stellar Scale systems is an
important one.
The value for the Stellar Scale h equals 5.860 x 10^47 erg sec,
according to my calculations.
