This is a blog that takes the name of my magnum opus on scientific philosophy called "The Scientific Worldview." Reviewers have called it “revolutionary,” “exhilarating,” “magnificent,” “fascinating,” and even “a breathtaking synthesis of all understanding.” There is very little math in it, no religion, no politics, no psycho-babble, and no BS. It provides the first outline of the philosophical perspective that will develop during the last half of the Industrial-Social Revolution.

Third party cookies filtering, in a browser setting, is the most common solution, overall - but your readers may have to search for other filter(s) that affect their use of Blogger / Google.

I would expect the vortex to be aligned with the rotational axis of the earth. If that is so, how can satellites stay in polar orbit?
ReplyDeleteHarry, to understand gravitation, begin thinking about a vortex as a motion in a continuum between the two ideals of (a) infinitely fast rotation and (b) no rotation. Gravitation is different for every vortex. The shape of the vortex indicates its relative rotational velocity -- as well as the hypothesized distribution of aether surrounding it. According to neomechanical theory, the aether is inversely proportional to the density of the baryonic matter in and around the microcosm.
ReplyDeleteWhere the Vortex resides in the continuum is important. On one end of the continuum, we have quasars, spiral galaxies, and developing stars -- these being extremely oblate rapidly rotating microcosms. Of the opposite side of the continuum, we have non-rotating microcosms like star clusters and Venus. The aether that surrounds each of the microcosms in this continuum has a different shape -- depending on its place in the continuum.
Earth rotates slow enough that it resides on the vortex-continuum at the end close to Venus. Earth is essentially the solidified spherical core of a 4.5 billion year old vortex. Because Earth is close to being spherical, the distribution of aether around it would be inverse the Earth's shape -- making Earths' aether-vortex nearly spherical as well. Hence, there is no problem for satellites orbiting around its poles.
Conversely, objects would have much greater difficulty orbiting around the poles of a rapidly rotating vortex -- such as a quasar or spiral galaxy. In fact, I suspect that if a star crossed the path of an axial-jet ejected from a pole of a quasar of spiral galaxy, the jet would probably blow the star apart!
