Actually my intent was seeking to discover a relevant answer in keeping with the seemingly straightforward and accepted definition of the word 'spin'. If I have an 'attitude' it is natural in response to the immaturity thus far displayed by Warren who apparently can't resist the...

Misquoting little old me, will neither earn you deferment from me as well, Warren. I never said you or anyone else was 'attempting' to mislead me, personally. Such would require malice and premeditation. I meant to infer that it seems as though there is a paradox here, and that perhaps some...

Please forgive me for the misquote, Warren. You said the circles rotate, not the mass within them. So then, you seem comfortable with my assertion that, one may be correct in determining as certain, that the tip of a mop handle being swung around one's head and all points in between it...

Warren has stated that the mass within the circles drawn on a frisbee, like our own moon, are experiencing both intrinsic angular momentum and orbital angular momentum. If this is so, then the tip of a mop handle swung around one's head is spinning. And all points in between...

Then if the Moon is experiencing both, the mass within every circle on that frisbee is as well. The frisbee as a whole is spinning according to physics. It seems paradoxical to me that circles are as well. One can set a frisbee spinning and lightly pinch any point on it's surface...

My point is a small one. I would certainly understand if you chose to acquiesce and let someone else, should one wish it, attempt to field my, how did you put it? absolutely 'no sense' question. Your earlier comment about the spinning frisbee analogy not having anything to do with celestial...

? Only if there is no such thing as absolute truth. If all things are all relative, then I can certainly see all questions making absolutely no sense. I'm sure that there is a modicum of sense to be found in this question. Although if I were a physics academician, I'm certain I could...

Physics Question Applying the standard physics definition of 'spin'...If one were to take a black permanent marker and draw circles of various size in various places on the top surface of a white frisbee and throw it, would the mass inside each of those individual circles be experiencing it's...
