Naut,
I've got some additional information; Charles Simo' was the first mathematician and most recently Chenciner and Montgomery have reinstated Simo's configuration and are still working on it. (regarding the 3-orbit configuration). I found several good articles online.

Yea, don'tcha just hate it when that happens, give or take 500,000 miles or
so?
Great illustration of the concept Naut . The information satellites are able to convey is phenomenal. This information you're posting is soooo interesting; the actual shape and the incline will be the catalyst moving science further into the multi-dimensional concept of time and space as a twisting in a figure-eight conformation...I wished I could think of the theorem of the figure-eight conformation where the top half of the eight twists opposite the lower half of the eight as the entire conformation is rotating causing the lower half to concave into the upper half...If you can understand my illiterate and lame explanation and know what theorem I'm referring to, would you let me know please so I can revisit the information online? The theorem was originally concocted sometime in the early 1800's by someone famous. (mathematician) I haven't got a grip on the who and when yet.

They're the same the world over, Kaboom! Although yours ain't all that bad, what with letting you guys drive on the wrong side of the road all the time...

Those guys can't even find their way
home on their own, let alone important new discoveries...

Read Discover? These cops can barely read at all, or write. Ever notice how they make all these crosses at random points on those tickets? That's all they can do, make crosses...

Re: It also accounts for why things sometimes seem off-kilter before
I agree, Pat, it
is reassuring! Of course, my Grandma had known that for ages, when she told us that the whole world was out of kilter - she was way ahead of us and those physicists...

Naut
I do hope those mean traffic cops will be nicer to you now that you have this information. I do suggest you not share it with them. Hope they find it on their own. Have a good weekend.

I hope you don't mind me asking, but, when you were in high school, did you carry a briefcase and did it contain a slide rule?

Hopefully, Naut, the constabulary doesn't read Discover, because, really,
how depressing it would be to make a comment on the solar system's speed and have to suffer a lecture about Earth rotational speed, Newton's Laws, and posted speed limits...

our nit-witted constabulary the next time I feel inclined to step on the gas.

It also accounts for why things sometimes seem off-kilter before
that first jolt of coffee in the morning. It's great to know the walls really are tilted, it's not just me.
