Janus said:I was merely pointing out that if galactic rotation effected stellar system rotation, that you would not see any difference between the two sides of the galactic equator. That "if" in my mind is very unlikely. For one, we know that for instance, the rotation of the Earth effects on systems is too weak to effect something even a meter across. A stellar system is many times smaller than that compared to the galaxy. Not only that, but the Earth rotates in one day, compared to the 250 million years it takes for the solar system to make one trip around the galaxy.
Yes, the Galactic Coriolis Effect is a real phenomenon that affects the movement of objects in the galaxy. It is similar to the Coriolis Effect on Earth, but on a much larger scale.
The Galactic Coriolis Effect is caused by the rotation of the Milky Way galaxy. As the galaxy rotates, objects within it experience a force that causes them to deviate from a straight path. This force is known as the Coriolis force.
Yes, the Galactic Coriolis Effect can be observed through the movement of celestial bodies in the galaxy. For example, the rotation of spiral arms in the Milky Way is a result of the Coriolis Effect.
Yes, there is ample evidence to support the existence of the Galactic Coriolis Effect. This includes observations of the movement of stars and gas clouds in the galaxy, as well as simulations and models that demonstrate its effects.
No, the Galactic Coriolis Effect cannot be debunked as it is a well-established phenomenon in astrophysics. However, there may be ongoing research and debates about the specifics of its effects and how it operates in different parts of the galaxy.
