Abstract
In a prior article we explained how axial spin of celestial bodies interact with mutual gravitation in the phenomenon of synchronous rotation of our moon and the major moons of the gas giants. We also showed how the same complementary interactions could explain both the nonsynchronous (regular orbits) and the negative rotations in Venus, Uranus and Pluto, as well as in the peripheral small satellites of the gas giants. This paper expands on that theme and identifies the various other areas in which these two fundamental and ubiquitous forces cooperate to bring about many other phenomena in the larger universe. Prominent among these phenomena is the role played by the mother bodies’ axial rotation in determining the direction of the orbital motion of their satellite bodies. The other effects include the appearance and maintenance of the spherical shape of large celestial bodies, generation of magnetism in planets, their respective roles in the formation of solar nebulae and proto-planetary disks, and the flattened profile of spiral and elliptical galaxies. Another important finding reported in this paper is the close relationship that exists between the size of planets, as well as the stars, with their axial rotation speeds. This increase of axial rotation speed of celestial bodies in direct proportion to the mass of those bodies, we believe serves to counteract the inward thrust of gravity, in exact proportions and thus help maintain the roughly spherical contour of those bodies. This finding even extends to spiral galaxies, where the axial rotation speed seems to be positively related to the size of the galaxy. This phenomenon and others suggest that spin is a fundamental and purposeful property of matter. Thus, in this paper we stress the important contributions made by the collaborative interactions between the ubiquitous gravity and spin in matter at the level of the fundamental particles, as well as in large celestial bodies, including the largest units in the universe, the galaxies.
Highlights
Current cosmology does not assign any purpose to the universally observed phenomenon of spin in matter at all levels
While it is widely recognized that the almost spherical shape attained by planets and most of their satellites and the stars is due to the inward pull on matter by the bodies’ own gravity, the slight bulge in the equator cannot be explained by this phenomenon alone
In a prior paper (Raghuprasad, 2020) we proposed that the “rotational” influence from the mother body to the satellite bodies, combined with the progressively diminishing gravitational pull will explain both the longer orbital periods of satellites that are situated farther away and the direction of the orbits
Summary
Current cosmology does not assign any purpose to the universally observed phenomenon of spin (rotation) in matter at all levels. The observation that the larger the celestial body, the higher the gravitation, as well as the axial spin rate seems to assign vital functions to the ubiquitous axial spin, that of counter-balancing the inward pull of gravity and help in maintaining the shape(s) of bodies This Table is adapted from http://www.nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary /factsheet.htm We are not certain why the latter do not show the expected close relationships, since these stars are considerably farther away from the earth, we suspect the values we obtained from the literature about these very far away bodies may not be accurate This idea is bolstered by the finding of some incongruity between the values of radii and masses in some stars. We hasten to point out that, since individual planets and galaxies of stars tend to rotate on their axes faster the larger they are, but the intervening stars do not seem to obey this arrangement, this finding is an aberration brought about by inaccurate data that deal with those stars that are situated at such unimaginable distances
