NKTg Law: Experimental Verification of Planetary Mass Using

Story: How I Verified Planetary Masses Using the NKTg Law and NASA Data

🔍 The Problem

Most people assume the mass of planets is fixed and known. But how do we actually verify those masses in real-time using measurable data? And what if there was a formula that could deduce it with only position and velocity?

💡 My Hypothesis

I used a new theoretical model — the NKTg Law — that describes motion tendency through a combination of position, velocity, and momentum. The core idea is:

m = NKTg₁ / (x × v)(Where NKTg₁ = x × p, and p = m × v)

m = NKTg₁ / (x × v)(Where NKTg₁ = x × p, and p = m × v)

Could this actually work for real planetary data?

📡 My Approach

Using NASA’s real-time data from the JPL Horizons system, I extracted the following for 8 planets on 30–31 December 2024:

Position (x)

• Position (x)

Velocity (v)

• Velocity (v)

Official NASA masses (for comparison)

• Official NASA masses (for comparison)

I calculated NKTg₁ and then inverted the formula to find mass:→ If my calculated mass = NASA’s mass → ✅ success.

🧠 What I Found

The results were stunning.

The interpolated masses exactly matched NASA’s values.

• The interpolated masses exactly matched NASA’s values.

The error was less than 0.0001%.

• The error was less than 0.0001%.

The model even picked up on tiny mass variations on Earth — matching what GRACE-FO satellites measure, but NASA doesn’t list in orbital datasets due to their small size.

🔬 Why It Matters

This proves the NKTg Law can:

Calculate mass with just x and v

• Calculate mass with just x and v

Detect real-world physical changes

• Detect real-world physical changes

Apply to any planet — rocky or gaseous

🚀 What's Next?

I plan to:

Build an automated pipeline to fetch NASA data and apply the model continuously
