1 of 7 : Demonstration of a kinematical principle [1:53]

Orbital motion causes a winding effect in a collection of free-falling objects; Parts 5 & 6 also show this unintuitive behavior.

2 of 7 : Simulated radial free fall (“spaghetti effect”) [0:38]

This is the familiar “textbook” phenomenon caused by gravitational tidal forces.

3 of 7 : Test 1 of 2 with Synchronous_Rotation -Off- [1:40]

If the simulation software produces accurate behavior, the middle row should produce a circle.

4 of 7 : Test 2 of 2 with Synchronous_Rotation -On- [1:04]

If the simulation software produces accurate behavior, the top & bottom row should produce lines.

5 of 7 : “Circular orbit” simulation [2:10] * PRINCIPLE VIDEO *

This is a previously obscure phenomenon; it is caused by a synthesis between
the same gravitational tidal forces in (2) and the kinematical principle in (1).

6 of 7 : “Match the image” simulation [2:07]

This simulation implies a connection between galactic orbital motion and the winding number of a spiral galaxy’s arms.

7 of 7 : “Empty space” simulation [2:17]

This simulation demonstrates that the same code that produces the foregoing simulations, produces Keplerian elliptical orbits.
