A Supposition of Angular Motion

[WCOLtd]

Suppose that angular momentum of mass M is equivalent to the angular momentum of the background universe spinning in the opposite direction from center of mass M. Suppose that the background's true rotation is un-observable. What would be the implications of such a supposition?

Suppose that the background's true rotation is un-observable. What would be the implications of such a supposition?

If you suppose that X is unobservable then by definition it has no observable implications.

 

[WCOLtd]

X's rotation is unobservable. You can't see it spinning. Maybe you can figure out that it is in other ways.

 

[Dale]

Then it is observable

 

[WCOLtd]

Yes. It is observable but indirectly. What I mean by "unobservable" is that you cannot see it spinning because it is the background and therefore there is no reference by which to gauge its rotation.

 

[Dale]

therefore there is no reference by which to gauge its rotation.

You don't need a reference to gauge rotation. Rotation is non inertial motion so it is not relative.

 

[WCOLtd]

In this supposition. I'd like you to suppose that it is relative and see what the implications are.

Please PM me with a peer reviewed reference that describes this scenario. I will then reopen the thread for discussion of that paper.
