(1966) noticed that there is a change in field orientation (polarity)
every 12th and 15th day. The Naksatras indicating contrast are
3rd and 16th having a gap of 13 and 14 days between them.
The incredulous amongst us will find impropriety in alotment of
'arbitrary energy regime' to different functions declaring it
to be subjective. Even if we withdraw the whole proposal, the
most diehard sceptic cannot refute that the sequential position
alloted to the Dhruba class of Naksatras (4, 12, 21, 26) are exactly
the same as sequential positions of the days of least geomagnetic
disturbances. The same principle of correspondence is more or
less applicable to other classes also exept the Chara class, and
the Chara class was recognized as erratic.
If one examines the statistical probability of getting the correspondence
we have obtained by superimposing Varahamihira's stellar classification
on Sinno's average geo-magnetic disturbances generated by the
27-day long solar energy cycle with the process of random selection(chance)
the results will be startling.
1. The Dhruba Naksatras 4, 12, 21 and 26 being considered
as a member of a single group should show either 'high'or 'low'
geomagnetic disturbance days (on the system of yes-no or 'black
or white' value attribution with equal probability. We have considered
D as 'low' but it can be also given 'high' value still the result
would be same).
The statistical probability of 4 specific numbers (4, 12, 21,
26) in a 27 number series falling into one and the same group
(high or low) is one in ten thousand by random selection.
The specific positions 4th, 12th, 21st and 26th if had to be maintained
only for a single character (high or low) the probabily will go
further down . Four definite sequential positions in a 27 position
series can be obtained in four hundred thousand tries.
Under a less strict statistical condition if the Chara class
is removed as 'unpredictable' from the reckoning and the rest are considered
as behaving ideally, that is correspondence among the rest of
the 22 points are hundred percent, the probability of obtaining
such an ideal synchronization by random selection is 10-34 which
is vertually impossible to achieve.
The chances of achieving, by the process of random selection,
the correspondence obtained between the Naksatras of various class
and the level of geomagnetic disturbances in particular date,
as shown in the Diagram-1 will be half of 10-34, which indicates
that such coincidence is possible only if concious attempt has
been made to synchronize earthly happenings with the periodicity
of lunar occultation with various Naksatras.
To minimize controversy even if only the Dhruba class of Naksatras
and their periodic positions are taken into account, the possibility
level of one in four hundred thousands, rules out any chance formulation
of stellar classification as given by Varahamihira.
The final hurdle in establishing our postulation is that question
may be raised, how one can be sure that the 27-day cycle of magnetic
disturbances in the Earth's atmosphere is in fact generated by
the 27-day solar energy variations?
As early as 1967, T. Obayashi observed, 'In spite of these different
hypotheses, all theories postulate solar active centres, and they
admit that enhanced beams of solar particles are the cause of
recurrent geomagnetic disturbances" (P. 115. Solar Wind-Geomagnetic
Field Interaction : Disturbed). In the last thirty years nobody
seriously challenged this statement. It implies that the sequence
or periodicity of the electromagnetic disturbances on the Earth's
atmosphere will be that same as the increase and decrease of solar
energetic particles reaching the earth's atmosphere, and that
in turn will follow the sequence of 'Solar active centres' showing
different intensity of energy emission facing this Earth. The
first two will be synchronous but there will be a time lag between
the Third and the first two, extension of which will depend upon
the distance solar wind had to cover and speed at which it travelled.
