i may have found a second earth guys, located around Alpha Centauri B in the habitable zone. It would have 2 earth masses and a gravity of 1.23-1.24 G's. based off density estimates its likely a rocky planet similar in composition to earth with less water. it would likely have a thick nitrogen atmosphere of a few bars. 4.5 lightyears isnt that far away a beamed core rocket could reach it in 6-8 years once we solve antimatter storage. what do i do with this info ? i want to go public with my findings but my worst fear is that it will be "diversified" and there will be forced multiracialism on it.
normally we used the changes in frequency of the sun caused by red shift and blue shift from the Doppler effect to discover exoplanets. This time what i used was the minuscule change in focal point of alpha centauri b's gravitational lensing effect of the stars and galaxies directly behind it to know when or if the sun has a regular predicable and significant radial velocity caused by a orbiting massive object. from this i can estimate mass, distance from the sun and even density to a degree (though only very roughly).
