Somehow we forget the third dimension. Our childhood learnings are woefully wrong.

Re: Helical Model: Solar System is a Vortex
for something that wants to point out an error in perception, the scale of the video is crazy distorted. also they chose to only show the Sun's motion within the galaxy, but guess what? the Milky Way galaxy is also traveling through space.

It's also wrong that the sun is dragging the planets through space.
All in all, I think it's safe to assume that a stoner made this video.

Re: Helical Model: Solar System is a Vortex
Really? What gravitational force is dragging planets if not the Sun?

Re: Helical Model: Solar System is a Vortex
You're literally saying that the sun is a gravitational force... Nuf said perhaps, but how would that even have anything to do with the solar system orbiting the galactic center? The sun plays its role, obviously, but all the sun's gravity does is 'pull' stuff towards its own center. The initial movement (relative to the galactic center) of whatever cloud of matter gave rise to the solar system, coupled with the combined galactic gravitational force is what's responsible for the greater orbital trajectory of planets+sun.
Right?
None of this is rocket science. I (hope I) don't understand why you feel the need to disagree so often.

It's a pretty animation, but scientifically vapid.

Re: Helical Model: Solar System is a Vortex
And you can cite proof otherwise?
Of course you can. Sure you can. I am certain that you are able.

Re: Helical Model: Solar System is a Vortex
The heliocentrific model is, as the name states, a model that takes the sun as central reference. Calling the model "wrong" because of that is like calling a blueprint wrong because it doesn't have clouds on it.
