Pluto's Gravitational Necessity: A Torque Balance Proof Using NASA Data

This paper presents mathematical proof using NASA data that Pluto is gravitationally essential to the solar system. Without Pluto, the torque balance between the inner 5 planets and outer 4 planets fails. The paper also presents multi-method convergence evidence — thermal, radial, and gravitational — for an undetected massive body in the antisun direction of the solar system. Four independent NASA datasets consistently show the same asymmetry. Several unexplained solar system anomalies including Mercury's temperature floor, Uranus axial tilt, Neptune's excess heat emission, and Kuiper Belt clustering are addressed within a single unified framework. Status: Preliminary hypothesis. Peer review invited.
