This report addresses the time dependence of normal biomedical processes. The conception rate in humans shows relationships that strikingly coincide with planetary periodicities like the orbital period of Jupiter, the 11 years solar cycle and the 237 days Jupiter–Venus synod, and the combined dependence on Jupiter with Mars' orbital position. The birth rates are used as conception surrogates based on a data set available from the Minnesota Department of Health. The statistical significance of each independent analysis (far) exceeds 5 σ. This result cannot be explained with known science. As with other observations in Physics and Medicine (i.e., melanoma), tentatively the only viable explanation we have is the otherwise invisible streaming matter from the dark Universe we live in. The favored dark matter scenario involves streams or clusters as opposed to an isotropic dark sector. The dark Universe scenario has been the driving idea for this type of work. The high sensitivity of living matter to the tiniest external impact might help identify the nature of the dark matter particles, a major problem in all physics since the 1930s. This work is a model for evaluating other biological processes and mutation rates. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
