OH WAIT! OMGWTFBBQ? it's no longer the center! So maybe it's revolving around space, but it ain't revoling around earth or "us" it is revolving around the medium that contains "us" but not "us".
Oh and a central axis is where an x and a y meet is it not? - this is just a question
A central axis, YES. But now define X andY. How big are they? What space to they encompass?
Look, if you want to argue technicalities more, I'm all for that. Let's get to the nitty gritty. Technically, nothing makes a perfect revolution. Why? Because you can not form a perfect circle or sphere. Since nothing can be a perfect sphere or circle. As such, you can't find a dead center. No matter what you use to measure with, in reality, you can't find it. With math, you can, but that's using rounding and assumptions.
So because of that, the assumption is, anything within a SPHERE of influence is revolved around.
And revolution as a word was adopted from the term. To turn around. It has NOTHNG to do with a central axis. This is just some we can use a frame of reference for celestial bodies. Look up how the word revolution is used in other situations.
The French Revolution. The term revolution in this instance is refering to the range of years and set of events which took place to change the course of history for france to change the leadership of the country. As in TURN IT AROUND. nothing about a central axis.
Look, when I'm arguing technicalities here with I'm making a statement such as this.
I AM DEFINING THE ELIPTICAL PATTERN OF EARTH AS A POINT. I'm using that as a size reference. Now, is that point at the center of revolution of the 10th planet? Yes it is. Does that mean that any planet revolving around that point I defined above revolves in turn around earth? Yes it does.
Higher Math is funny because it's based on what you define your
set of variables to be.
