While we have developed a scheme for the planets in terms of number n, and integer i, that is
very accurate through and through, our scheme for the planets in terms of AI elements, which
suggest profound ideas fro the meaning of existence, finds its best accuracy in the two most
interesting equations, the equations of Venus and Mars, which are the two most important
planets for space exploration. We have always sent landers to Venus because it is the sister
planet of Earth, similar to it in both size and mass, and its study is important to understanding
the future of the Earth climate because it underwent a runaway greenhouse effect such as we
are worried about for Earth. Mars has been prominent in our space exploration because it
shows a great deal of promise for colonization and the discovery of life beyond Earth.

We have sent multiple landers to mars in hopes that we might find life, but interestingly
astronomers have recently found the signature of microbial life in the atmosphere of Venus. Our
Venus and Mars equations are, in terms of AI elements:

Si3
1 2SiGe + Ge
venus =

Ge2 1+
Si2
Ge 2

2SiGe
m ars =

Ge2 − Si2
These we found to have perfect accuracy to two places after the decimal:

venus=0.72 AU

mars=1.52 AU

However, we used values of Si=28.09 and Ge=72.61. Recent measurements of Ge give a

slightly modified value for Ge. It is 72.64. Let us compute these two equations since they are,
as we are guessing the most important, in terms of Si, to two places after the decimal, and for
Ge using the most recent value:

Ge=72.64 g/mol

Si=28.0855 g/mol

Thus,…

28.08553
1 2(28.0855) + 72.64
= 0.722995806

72.642 1+
28.08552
72.64 2

We see it is still accurate to two places after the decimal. Let us now look at Mars,…

2SiGe 2(28.0855)(72.64)
= = 0.909

Ge2 − Si2 72.642 − 28.08552

It needs to be close to 1.52AU and we see we made a mistake with the equation to begin with.
We find the answer is in averaging this with the difference of squares in the denominator with
the square of the difference in denominator, that is

2SiGe 2SiGe
with

Ge2 − Si2 (Ge − Si )2

Which gives our modified Mars equation:

2SiGe2
m ars =

(Si − Ge)2(Si + Ge)

We compute its accuracy:

228.085572.642
m ars = = 1.48AU

199950.5396
This has an accuracy of:

1.48/1.52 = 0.973684

97%

The plot is still like a propeller, but more stretched out. It was

But, the modified Mars equation give us:
