Abstract

Standard astrophysics attributes solar flares to magnetic reconnection events, treating them as stochastic phenomena with limited predictability. This formulation fails to explain observed correlations between planetary alignments and flare frequency, dismissing them as coincidental. We present a mechanical framework within the Webb Mechanical Metric that establishes stellar flares as contamination purge events triggered by tidal stress modulation. Analysis of empirical data reveals that 65% of major solar flares occur during planetary alignments (p=0.00039), binary M-dwarfs exhibit 10Ö higher flare rates than single stars, and ultra-fast binary rotation produces supersaturation reversal. These observations are mechanically predicted consequences of contamination shell dynamics under gravitational perturbation, requiring no magnetic reconnection hypothesis.
