Is the Earth floating, flying, or falling?
When I was in school I saw the solar system in a 2-dimensional plane like this:
When we see the solar system in static 3D form, we will definitely think about the existence of a hypothetical invisible field that holds the planets and the sun from falling, called ether, like the animation below:
The view of the existence of ether is actually just an illusion and will change when we include the fourth dimension, namely motion, in the simulation of the solar system, so it will look like this.
Of course the movement of the solar system as a helix is not entirely true, because the tilt of the planets when orbiting the sun is actually 60 degrees. So the most realistic picture of the movement of the solar system is something like this.
It's very complicated, isn't it?
So, is the earth floating, flying, or falling? I prefer to use the word thrown and attracted (tied) to the sun's gravity which also moves with the galaxies thrown in this vast universe.
Maybe someday this explosion will turn into a Big Crunch and everything will go back to the beginning of the explosion, to then explode again and form a new universe. And so on without end.
Who knows!
