Like a hidden gem in the vast expanse of space, our findings pointed to a significant correlation between the distance between Uranus and Saturn and the air quality in the pleasant city of Tuscaloosa. It may seem improbable, even absurd, at first glance, but as the renowned physicist Niels Bohr quipped, "If quantum mechanics hasn't profoundly shocked you, you haven't understood it yet."
Therefore, with a blend of scientific curiosity and a hint of whimsy, we invite the readers to journey with us through this unexpected cosmic rendezvous, where the gravitational sway of distant planets and the breath of Earth converge in ways that may defy conventional wisdom. Just as the universe unfurls its mysteries in the most unexpected of ways, our study sets the stage for a captivating exploration of the interconnectedness of celestial dynamics and terrestrial phenomena. This endeavor aims not only to advance our understanding of the cosmos but also to spark contemplation on the cosmic forces that may subtly influence the air we breathe. So, dear reader, fasten your seatbelts and prepare for a celestial rollercoaster ride, as we venture into the captivating realms of space and atmosphere.

[[RESULTS]]
The statistical analysis revealed a strong correlation between the distance separating Uranus and Saturn and the air quality in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. The correlation coefficient of 0.8334304 indicated a robust positive relationship between these two variables, spanning a period from 1980 to 2023. Remarkably, the r-squared value of 0.6946062 suggested that approximately 69.46% of the variation in air quality could be explained by changes in the distance between these two celestial giants. The p-value being less than 0.01 further emphasized the statistical significance of this cosmic association, defying conventional expectations with astronomical implications for Earth's atmosphere.
The scatterplot (Fig. 1) provides a visual representation of this unexpected correlation, serving as a poignant reminder that even the most distant cosmic phenomena may exert an influence on our terrestrial domain. The scatterplot beautifully captures the dance between these variables, illustrating the striking synchrony between the distance of Uranus and Saturn and the air quality in Tuscaloosa. It truly encapsulates the notion that sometimes, the winds of change may originate from the farthest reaches of our solar system, gently nudging the air quality in unsuspecting places.
The results of our study may provoke skepticism at first, as the thought of Uranus and Saturn dictating air quality in Alabama may seem as plausible as finding moon rocks in a meteor shower. Nevertheless, these findings beckon us to consider the intricate web of cosmic connections that may shape our terrestrial existence. So, let us marvel at the cosmic symphony playing out in the skies, where the positions of planets may whisper secrets to the very air we breathe.

Correlation r = 0.8334304 (Pearson correlation coefficient)
Correlation is a measure of how much the variables move together. If it is 0.99, when one goes up the other goes up. If it is 0.02, the connection is very weak or non-existent. If it is -0.99, then when one goes up the other goes down. If it is 1.00, you probably messed up your correlation function.

r² = 0.6946062 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 69.5% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Air quality in Tuscaloosa, Alabama) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., The distance between Uranus and Saturn) over the 44 years from 1980 through 2023.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 2.2E-12.^Show 0.0000000000022114879500580230
The p-value is a measure of how probable it is that we would randomly find a result this extreme.^Note More specifically the p-value is a measure of how probable it is that we would randomly find a result this extreme if we had only tested one pair of variables one time.

But I am a p-villain. I absolutely did not test only one pair of variables one time. I correlated hundreds of millions of pairs of variables. I threw boatloads of data into an industrial-sized blender to find this correlation.

Who is going to stop me? p-value reporting doesn't require me to report how many calculations I had to go through in order to find a low p-value!
On average, you will find a correaltion as strong as 0.83 in 2.2E-10% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 452,184,240,920 random variables^Note You don't actually need 452 billion variables to find a correlation like this one. I don't have that many variables in my database. You can also correlate variables that are not independent. I do this a lot.

p-value calculations are useful for understanding the probability of a result happening by chance. They are most useful when used to highlight the risk of a fluke outcome. For example, if you calculate a p-value of 0.30, the risk that the result is a fluke is high. It is good to know that! But there are lots of ways to get a p-value of less than 0.01, as evidenced by this project.

In this particular case, the values are so extreme as to be meaningless. That's why no one reports p-values with specificity after they drop below 0.01.

Just to be clear: I'm being completely transparent about the calculations. There is no math trickery. This is just how statistics shakes out when you calculate hundreds of millions of random correlations.
with the same 43 degrees of freedom, ^Note Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 43 because we have two variables measured over a period of 44 years. It's just the number of years minus ( the number of variables minus one ), which in this case simplifies to the number of years minus one.
you would randomly expect to find a correlation as strong as this one.

[ 0.71, 0.91 ] 95% correlation confidence interval (using the Fisher z-transformation)
^{Read more about the confidence interval} The confidence interval is an estimate the range of the value of the correlation coefficient, using the correlation itself as an input. The values are meant to be the low and high end of the correlation coefficient with 95% confidence.

This one is a bit more complciated than the other calculations, but I include it because many people have been pushing for confidence intervals instead of p-value calculations (for example: NEJM. However, if you are dredging data, you can reliably find yourself in the 5%. That's my goal!

All values for the years included above: ^Note If I were being very sneaky, I could trim years from the beginning or end of the datasets to increase the correlation on some pairs of variables. I don't do that because there are already plenty of correlations in my database without monkeying with the years.

Still, sometimes one of the variables has more years of data available than the other. This page only shows the overlapping years. To see all the years, click on "See what else correlates with..." link above.

Why this works

Data dredging: I have 25,153 variables in my database. I compare all these variables against each other to find ones that randomly match up. That's 632,673,409 correlation calculations! This is called “data dredging.” Instead of starting with a hypothesis and testing it, I instead abused the data to see what correlations shake out. It’s a dangerous way to go about analysis, because any sufficiently large dataset will yield strong correlations completely at random.
Lack of causal connection: There is probably^Note Because these pages are automatically generated, it's possible that the two variables you are viewing are in fact causually related. I take steps to prevent the obvious ones from showing on the site (I don't let data about the weather in one city correlate with the weather in a neighboring city, for example), but sometimes they still pop up. If they are related, cool! You found a loophole.
no direct connection between these variables, despite what the AI says above. This is exacerbated by the fact that I used "Years" as the base variable. Lots of things happen in a year that are not related to each other! Most studies would use something like "one person" in stead of "one year" to be the "thing" studied.
Observations not independent: For many variables, sequential years are not independent of each other. If a population of people is continuously doing something every day, there is no reason to think they would suddenly change how they are doing that thing on January 1. A simple^Note Personally I don't find any p-value calculation to be 'simple,' but you know what I mean.
p-value calculation does not take this into account, so mathematically it appears less probable than it really is.
Y-axis doesn't start at zero: I truncated the Y-axes of the graph above. I also used a line graph, which makes the visual connection stand out more than it deserves. ^Note Nothing against line graphs. They are great at telling a story when you have linear data! But visually it is deceptive because the only data is at the points on the graph, not the lines on the graph. In between each point, the data could have been doing anything. Like going for a random walk by itself!
Mathematically what I showed is true, but it is intentionally misleading. Below is the same chart but with both Y-axes starting at zero.
