It all depends on what direction of our solar system is moving in.

I’m just tired sitting here traveling 800 mph while at a desk.

I learned a long time ago to worry about the things I can control, accept the things I can’t, and keep an attitude of uncertainty towards everything.

Would have been a cool screen saver, back in the day.

Hmmmm.. This theory would require the belief that the sun is revolving around something. I suppose that since the moon revolves around Earth, and Earth around the sun, then it would follow that the sun is also revolving around something and not tracking in a linear fashion.

We are merely a fractional part of a molecule or atomic particle yet unknown to man. A really big example of something that on Earth is beyond microscopic or 'nano'. Okay, now I'm freaking out. I realize just how insignificant we are. LOL

Frame of reference.

Is the plane of the planets orbit in the same plane as disc of the Milky Way?
I assume the galaxy orbits something too. Or maybe it is just tumbling through space.

It’s pretty clear that the solar system is actually a giant drill bit and it’s fracking the galaxy.

If that was drawn to scale, there would be no loops. The path of the moon is pretty close to the path of the earth. The moon dithers about 500,000 miles to and fro vs. the path of the earth on an orbit about 180,000,000 miles in diameter. If the 180 million mile orbit of the earth about the sun is drawn as 18 inches (diameter), the moon's orbit waves a path .05 inch wide, a little wider than a pencil line.

Our solar system goes round and round through our galaxy like a turd that won’t flush.

Sometimes I will “orbit” a table of tasty snacks
