Hello. My formal education was in the early 70s. It was in physics, but my sense of reason could not accept space-time. I studied mechanics and electronics. I started in circuit troubleshooting and finished as a systems integrator. I unexpectedly became disabled about 8-9 years ago, and decided to review modern theory. After all, we have a library in which Alexandria could only dream of.
I came across some images of a moon of Jupiter(I think) flying thru a debris field. And it about floored me. That moon was not traveling in an elliptic, it was moving in a spiral, a helix. To me, this was mind shocking news. It reminded me of a charge thru a cloud chamber.
But for some reason, I seem to be the only one that marvels about it. To me, two perpendicular rotations(a spiral confined in an orbit) is a lot different than an elliptic. Different directions and different velocities. Think of a stripe on a hula hoop. Planet orbit inclination is due to the radius of the spiral.
I would think that this helix trajectory would have changed the world. Perhaps modern theory. Aren't all gravity and momentum equations based on a 2D elliptic?
It seems to be ignored, or un-important to many scientists.
Have I caught a unicorn or am I chasing one?
