::: I am afraid we will have to agree to disagree on this one.  Is it '''possible''' that the exponent is slightly more or less than 2?  Of course it is, although the difference would be amazingly small for us not to have noticed it by now.  Is it likely?  Well as I've said, we'll have to agree to disagree.  [[User:JacobB|JacobB]] 00:29, 2 October 2009 (EDT)

:::: I think there was a physics paper published about a hundred years ago indicating that an observed anomaly in orbits could be explained by an exponential like 2.000001.  But mathematical physicists instinctively oppose the suggestion, just as we've seen here, and moved to relativity theories rather than explore this further.  After all, who would expect to win a Nobel Prize for explaining anomalies in orbit with such an inelegant approach!--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 00:33, 2 October 2009 (EDT)
