Abstract

The usual main objection against any attempt in finding a physical cause for the planet distance distribution is based on the assumption that similar distance distribution could be obtained by sequences of random numbers. This assumption was stated by Lecar in an old paper (1973). We show here how this assumption is incorrect and how his visual comparison method is inappropriate.
