Re: OFF: Astrological portents

[Anthony Nelson-Smith]

Glen - sorry for a late response.  You ask a series of interesting
questions:  do you have any answers ?
In the famous story about Newton and the apple, surely as both apple-tree
and Newton were spinning at the same speed, the net effect would be nil ?
Doesn't a spinning object throw off, rather than attract, particles (ever
stood near a dog shaking itself dry ?).
