The **NKTg Law** describes the variation of an object’s inertia using the function:
:<code>NKTg = f(x, v, m)</code>
Where:
* '''x''': position
* '''v''': velocity
* '''m''': mass
The two central quantities of the law are:
* '''NKTg₁''' = x × p (position–momentum interaction)
* '''NKTg₂''' = (dm/dt) × p (mass variation–momentum interaction)
With:
:<code>p = m × v</code>
:<code>dm/dt</code>: the rate of mass loss over time
This study applies the NKTg Law to analyze Neptune's 2023 data published by NASA, thereby simulating and predicting the planet's motion parameters for 2024 under the assumption of micro gas loss at a rate of '''–0.00002000 kg/s'''.
== 2. Research Objectives ==
* Verify the predictive ability of the NKTg Law on planetary motion.
* Identify trends in Neptune’s position, velocity, and mass in 2024.
* Compare simulation results with NASA’s observed stable data trends.

'''Note''': The NKTg simulation assumes Neptune undergoes mild gas loss at –0.00002000 kg/s, leading to a slight decrease in mass. NASA data maintains a constant mass of 1.02430000×10²⁶ kg throughout the year.===
Scientific Conclusion ===*
'''High Accuracy''': The NKTg simulation matches Neptune's NASA-reported position and velocity almost perfectly. Mass variation remains within a negligible margin.*
'''Research Value''': Simulating gas loss reveals the NKTg Law’s capability to model micro-changes in planetary dynamics.*
'''Stable Motion''': Despite simulated mass loss, the total NKTg remains stable — indicating the law’s robustness in celestial mechanics.== References ==
