According to famous Greek mythology, the world is carried and moved by the giant Titanic Atlas on his shoulders. Even today, by the 21st century, do we have a better theorization to explain the lateral dynamic stability of a planet in its orbital motion around the Sun? Newtonian mechanics explains explicitly how the radial orbital position of a planet is dynamically decided by balance of the two forces such as; the Gravitational Attraction (towards the gravity source) and Centrifugal Force. (away from the gravity source) But what is so far unexplained?
1. The lateral force(motive force) in support of orbital motion, and
2. The buffering force to balance the motive force in order to maintain uniformity in orbital motion.
People never bothered of an orbital motive force regarding planetary motion because of the erroneous concept that, ‘space is a vacuum medium which is free of friction against motion’. Therefore they thought that planets have ever been orbiting and also some of them are rotating around themselves too, so as they were tossed somehow at the origin of the universe. |Read More|
