Greetings,
A thought occurs about a (possibly) fundamental pattern in nature.
Why are there several scales of magnitude in which a smaller body spins, while orbitting a larger body?
Examples.
1) A galaxy like the Milky Way has an orbital momentum around the core of its Local Cluster, the Milky Ways also has an intrinsic spin.
2) A star has an orbital momentum around the core of our Milky Way, the star also has an intrinsic spin.
3) A planet has an orbital momentum around the Star, the planet also has an intrinsic spin.
---jump to microscopic scales---
4) An electron has an orbital momentum around a nucleus, the electron also has an intrinisc spin.
5) A xxxx particle has an orbital momentum around an electron, the xxxx particle also has an intrinsic spin?
This seems like a pattern to me, albeit not hard science by any means. Yet its quite interesting to see this fractal pattern present in the largest and smallest of scales discovered by humankind. As far as I know, only 2) 3) & 4) are fact, but I believe 1) is true too (is it?).
If anyone can think of an example that precedes 1) or succedes 4), I'd be very curious to know. Thanks.:!)
