Title: Troubling Backward Venus, Sunspot Forcing, and A.I. Enlightenment by Fred J. Cadieu

Event Info: 

In this talk Fred will explore how A.I. can be used to elucidate two areas of astronomy in which he has recently published papers. One of these is the troubling backward rotation of Venus. The other is the correlation between the occurrence of sunspots and the collective motion of the Jovian planets. A.I. will be used to generate slides and actual data calculations. One of these papers is titled “Correlations Between the Rotations and Magnetospheres of the Terrestrial Planets and the Sun’s Formation in Our Solar System” (2022) and the other is “Jovian Planet Influence on the Forcing of Sunspot Cycles” (2024) both published in the World Journal of Condensed Matter Physics.

Fred Cadieu has been a member of ASLI for about 25 years. He is currently an Emeritus Professor in the Physics Department of Queens College of CUNY. He holds BS, MS, and PhD Degrees from the University of Chicago.
