Thank you, Cole, and what a wonderful set of visuals you provided.
One of them, the 400 bodies, does not resemble reality. You have 400 bodies in a reality in which these bodies are not moving in a third direction.
I am not saying that it is 2D, but I am saying it is too 2D to be real.
Motion + Gravity are the two aspects that declare the resulting outcomes we see in our universe.
Einstein may not have known this, but we do know that the fastest speed of all matter in the universe involves their motion in a single direction away from where their material selves originated. All matter in our Milky Way moves at its fastest speed in one collective direction.
* Of course, that does not change the challenge of the three body problem. (But who knows, the better approach may be from the collective level since the collective outcomes are/can be catalogued, right?)
So, I see with the 400 body image that there is no communal aspect included in the visual, which is the lack of a single direction of fastest speed for all of them. This makes the visual not that interesting, as if a galaxy is just hanging in place in space.
It couldn't.
I call that motion the Fourth Motion, just so folks pay attention. While in reality it is the first motion (based on the original push given to this matter during the materialization process and never interrupted, so on-going), I call instead the First Motion the spin that planet Earth is involved in.
The Second Motion is the revolution of Earth around the Sun, and the Third Motion is the circular motion of the Milky Way.
Folks can make the wrong thing the first thing. Like saying that the decimal system begins with 1, whereas it really begins with 0.
I loved all the images, but that 400 body image is not the way things work. It leaves out the collective motion, the Fourth Motion.
