The Central Role of Spin in Celestial Body Motion Mechanics: With Assistance from Gravity, Centrifugal Force and Weightlessness

The crucial findings we report in this chapter are, how the speed of the solar system planets’ axial rotations are linearly related to the bodies’ masses, how the orbital and axial rotation speeds of the synchronously rotating large, close-in satellites of the gas and ice giants depend positively to the size of their respective mother bodies, and how the larger the stars and even the galaxies are, the faster they rotate on their axes and also faster they move radially in space. All these findings teach us that axial spin of celestial bodies is an inherent, autonomous property, akin to the established fundamental properties of matter, the strong and weak nuclear forces, gravity and electromagnetism. Further, we propose that this axial rotation of bodies is the basis of their motion mechanics and how such motions remain perpetual. When we consider the fact that all satellite bodies orbit their mother bodies in the same counterclockwise direction as the mother bodies’ axial rotation, it is obvious how all motions are organized to bring order in the universe. We recognize that for this fundamental property of matter to function, coordination of such motions with mutual gravitation, centrifugal force and weightlessness of the bodies is essential. This understanding thus eliminates the need for invoking many of the postulates in modern cosmology, such as black holes, dark matter, dark haloes, negative energy etc. When the galaxies move across space circumferentially, as is proposed in this chapter, such motions will give the illusion of the universe spinning on its axis.
