Apr 28, 2011 - Yep. Believe it or not, all the planets in our soler system are slowly moving closer and closer to the sun (just as shown) and will some day be swallowed up. Likewise, our soler system is also moving closer and closer to the center of the universe and will some day be swallowed up by the black hole that lies there. Aint gravity a bitch?

blanknot Says:

Apr 28, 2011 - You're absolutely right about the lack of friction, but a little bit of friction does still exist. This causes the sun's gravity to have a less dramatic affect than what is shown in the video, but the affect still exists, so the meeting is still arranged.

May 24, 2011 - Actually whether the planets are "swallowed up" depends on the individual planet's velocity. Some are low enough that yes, they will spiral into the sun eventually. Others are high enough that they may not. Our own moon's velocity is high enough that it will leave the earth's orbit one day. Also, our sun is not of enough mass to condense into a black hole. It will eventually become a white dwarf and then cool to a black dwarf.

Oct 24, 2011 - I dont get what this is showing.

Oct 26, 2011 - center of the milky way maybe? And cosmic expansion has this nasty side effect that right now it looks like there's not enough mass in the universe to cause a "big crunch" at the end of it all, instead we're gonna go out in a really really long whimper as the suns slowly die out and finally the black holes evaporate, finally proton decay annihilating the last matter in the universe. All that will be left is the background radiation in accordance with the preservation of energy law :)

jtackman Says:

Oct 26, 2011 - it's an orbit simulation, the plane of wood simulates the gravity well of a body, the balls dropped simulate bodies orbiting around the central one, if you give one enough speed it will escape the gravity well ( as happened ;) ) but if it has just the right speed ( and no friction it will circle forever ). More likely as can be seen is that the speed deteriorates and the orbits decay into the middle of the gravity well (colliding with the body there)

ez2animate Says:

Oct 26, 2011 - Ok that's what I thought. Very plain though.
