Originally posted by Renegade Think in terms of atoms. The atom at the exact center of a planet will soon be displaced by atoms rushing past to the other side. It would be posssible - in theory - for an atom to experience an equitable gravitational pull from every side, but in reality - at those sort of pressures - there is never an "exact" centre of a planet and the whole system remains in a kind of self-correcting flux (hence the vaguely spherical shapes of stars and planets etc.). Also, I'm pretty drunk. Hope that helps.

This reminds me of the "Coriolis Force." As the perturbed system of a pendulum pivots back and forth on earth, the pattern shows that the pendulum experiences a rotational force to complete a full circle. So in some sense there is a self-correcting flux, always in a state of deterministic chaos. You know it will eventually complete a cycle but it is only a matter of time.

Also there is a correlation between the mathematics of the Coriolis Force and Maxwell's equations.

Then again the electromagnetic world is the physical world we live in, some how on a physical level these two macro and microscopic levels are capable of self similarity.

This leads me to believe the universe is of a fractal like nature.

The sun is a nucleus and the planets are just electrons moving around in real time. The 1/2 spin up of the northern hemisphere and the 1/2 spin down of the southern hemisphere correlates to the Coriolis force spin direction. So to some extent we are living on a blown up quantum dynamic world.

P.S. With the weight of our own existence we carry the universe, bending space-time with each step taken.
