Does that have anything to do with Bode's Law?
A mathematical relationship between the mean distances of the planets from the Sun, demonstrated by the German astronomer J.E. Bode in 1772.
It is based upon the progression 0,3,6, etc. To each number in the series 4 is added. The resulting figures, divided by ten, then represent remarkably closely the mean distances of most of the planets measured in Astronomical Units (AU).
Only, that it seems to me to be something fundamental that is worth further research to discover exactly why.
