Do you know if this is accounted for in the current modeling of the solar system?

The question is in the contradiction between the observation of a orbiting planet with a tilted axis and the physics of a gyroscope being forced into a curved path i.e an orbit. From gyroscope physics, the force causing the curved path should induce a torque in the gyroscope. Since we observe...

You may be correct Mercury has highest eccentricity which may show that external gravitational influences are least hampered with the almost zero tilt of Mercury's rotation.

As we know from gyroscopes, the axis of a spinning object remains in the same orientation. For example, for a spinning object traveling in a straight line, the line of travel we could call a plane and the spin axis in the direction of travel could be perpendicular to the plane and the spin axis...

As Chronos mentioned in the thread " Why is Space Black"

This is purported to be answered in: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmic_background_radiation#Polarization "CMBR dipole anisotropy From the CMB data it is seen that our local group of galaxies (the galactic cluster that includes the Solar System's Milky Way Galaxy) appears to be moving at...

The background radiation (photons) is a cloud of "test" particles, not the Space that the particles travel through.

Per Yogi: "In these matters I see a close correlation to the study of law." I see a correlation to the laws of physics. The laws of a nation do not change due to a location within the nation, or the speed at which you travel in the nation. You still get $200 when you pass GO even if you...

Hi Chronos, It is hard to determine from the abstract if the article sited is about the objects in the universe or Space. From first glance it seems it is most likely about the objects in the universe.

"Rotation would induce changes in the CMB that are not observed." What aspect or property of Space would induce changes? "if space is defined as nothing" I have a hard time with the word "nothing" since Space can be occupied by mass or energy it seems that a volume would have a density of...

We observe that we are moving relative to the sun, and the solar system is moving in the milky way and the milky way is moving with Andromeda and it all is moving relative to the background radiation. Is Space moving in addition to the objects within it moving? is Space spinning (rotary...

This is a question about what we can observe about space. This is not a relativistic question, or about the expansion of space or about “aether”. Some of the aspects of space as I understand it are: Space has volume. Space has the non-zero properties of permeability and permittivity...

Thanks DaveC426913 and Sylas for your quick responses. Dave, the aspects that are "mutually exclusive" are in part pointed out by Sylas. I linked to the Wikipedia topics so that the standard model would not need to be repeated in the post. Sylas,The errors in the post you point out are...

The Two Concepts The [PLAIN]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_light"[/URL], through expansion and inflation, as one of the fundamental aspects of the model. The conundrum is that these two concepts seem to be mutually exclusive. The purpose of this article is to bring this conundrum...
