Abstract
Experimental Verification of the NKTg Law Using NASA Mercury Data in 2025Independent researcher: Nguyễn Khánh Tùng ORCID: 0009-0002-9877-4137 SCIENTIFIC CONCLUSION On the experimental verification of the NKTg Law on planetary orbitsAbstract: This report presents the results of the experimental verification of the NKTg law through the simulation of Mercury’s orbit in 2025, using reference data from NASA JPL Horizons and the MESSENGER spacecraft.1. Conservation of motion tendency through the quantity NKTg₁ The study confirms that the quantity NKTg₁ = x × p (the product of position and momentum) is the fundamental parameter determining the motion tendency of an object in space. The experimental results show that:• Establishing NKTg₁ = x × p as a target constant (8.90E+38 NKTm) allows the prediction of orbital velocity with high accuracy, with an average relative error of only 1.3% compared to NASA data. • The interaction between position (x) and momentum (p) self-adjusts to maintain this constant, enabling the object to preserve its motion structure and maintain a stable state without the need for external force parameters.2. Experimental verification of mass variation (dm/dt) from MESSENGER data The model integrates the actual mass variation coefficient dm/dt = -0.5 kg/s, established from measured data of the atmospheric escape phenomenon by the MESSENGER spacecraft. According to the NKTg law, this variation leads to:• The formation of the quantity NKTg₂: The product of the rate of mass change and momentum (NKTg₂ = (dm/dt) × p) carries a negative value throughout the orbit. • Resisting effect: The negative value of NKTg₂ confirms that the mass loss process plays a resisting role against changes in the state of motion, accurately reflecting the nature of varying inertia.3. Consistency and applicability The experimental results on Mercury confirm that the NKTg law has consistency and high applicability. The system demonstrates the capability to:• Fully describe planetary dynamics solely through the interaction between fundamental quantities (x, v, m). • Eliminate dependence on approximation methods, without using force expressions in the calculation process, ensuring the reproducibility of results across different computational platforms.
