Planetary line-up excites the sun Posted: 5 months ago by AutumnLotus
Australian astronomers may have found a solution to how far-away Jupiter and Saturn drive the sun's solar cycle. Astronomer Dr Ian Wilson and colleagues suggest Jupiter and Saturn affect the sun's movement and its rotation, and hence its sunspot activity.

But Wilson is cautious.
"It is one thing to show an association and quite another to show cause and effect. We have to be very careful, but we will know in a few years," he says.
So, is this bogus, or is this theory correct?

This is an hypothesis, an initial guess if you will. Theories have explanatory predictive power and typically encompass several hypotheses.
I'm not trying to jab you directly Bornbad, its just that the scientific weight of the word theory has been diluted by the media and society in general. :)
