I just had to solve a captcha that was a bunch of pictures of objects and it says "Select all the objects that can not spin"... I'm just thinking "My dude, anything can spin with if you put enough energy into it"
@trinsec Not much that doesnt :)
@freemo@qoto.org Even the whole damn universe spins!
@trinsec Actually... does it?
@freemo@qoto.org Spinning out of control... 😋
We know the universe expands. I can imagine it might maybe not be straight expanding?
thing sin the universe spin because they contract. When everything was all spread out everything had random movement. So it mostly averaged out to no spin but there would be a **very** small net spin.
But as things collapsed into planets, starts, and galaxies, they contracted. As their mass comes closer to their center of masses angular speed will increase. It is the same effect as when a skater tucks in their arms to spin faster.
Since the universe as a whole is expanding, and it is only its constituent parts that contract (read the average distance between everything is increasing) one can logically conclude the universe is not only not spinning in any appreciable sense but in fact what inperceivably small spin it did have has been forever slowing down.
Higgs boson? :P
@freemo My favourite was when the European Space Agency rolled their own security questions on a new satellite data portal a while back. The questions were a mix of changeable answers ("When did you last water your plants?") and yes/no answers. The minimum field length was three characters.
If i ever write a security question it is going to be "What is the 5th letter in the alphabet?"
@freemo@qoto.org Even the whole damn planet spins!
