Weather As A Model Of The Universe

I saw what I thought was a photo of a distant spiral galaxy, taken through a telescope. It had the usually circular center and outward arms of a typical spiral galaxy. Actually, it wasn't a galaxy at all but a radar image of a hurricane. As we know, the circular motion of a hurricane is a synthesis of two forces- the rising air over a warm sea, and the earth's rotation.

It occurred to me that the weather was, in a very significant way, a model of how the universe operates. The patterns between the two are very similar and the same laws of physics apply to both. The water droplets which compose clouds, and ultimately precipitation, is vapor which was evaporated and then condensed into the spherical droplets.

On a very much larger scale, but in just about the same way, stars form when loose matter in space in the form of gas and dust coalesce by gravity into a mass which has enough force of gravity to crunch smaller atoms into larger ones, by overcoming the electron repulsion between atoms, so that the excess binding energy is released as heat and light so that the star shines, The condensed water droplets are grouped together in vast clouds with similar droplets just as the stars are bound by mutual gravity into galaxies.

Spiral galaxies rotate around their centers in the same way that hurricanes rotate. The other types of galaxies, such as ellipticals and dwarf galaxies do not rotate, just as ordinary clouds do not rotate. Two nearby examples of dwarf galaxies which do not rotate are the two Magellanic Clouds, which can be seen from the southern hemisphere. It seems that larger galaxies have enough balance between perpendicular forces to initiate rotation, which would make it congruent to the synthesis of perpendicular forces which causes a hurricane to rotate.

What about the out throw of matter from the Big Bang, which began the universe? It seems that if a galaxy is about the right size to have a balance between this force and the inward force of it's gravity that it can attain the right balance between the two perpendicular forces to initiate rotation in the same way that a hurricane spins by a synthesis of two perpendicular forces. This is similar to the orbital velocity of a planet. If a moving object does not have enough velocity, relative to the planet's gravity, it will fall back to the ground. If it has too much velocity, it will escape the gravity of the planet altogether. But if it has the right velocity to form a synthesis with the planet's gravity, it will go into orbit around the planet.

Our galaxy is such a spiral which rotates, but most galaxies are smaller and would not have enough inward gravity to sufficiently balance the outward force from the Big Bang so that rotation could commence. Elliptical galaxies are large, so that they would have sufficient inward gravity to create a synthesis, but these galaxies are believed to have formed by mergers of smaller galaxies and the momentum of non-rotation in these galaxies does not get overcome.

Now, here is the fact that is so significant to my cosmology theory. I am claiming that there are more than the three dimensions which we can see and that the matter of our universe was thrown across four dimensions by the Big Bang. If this scenario or spiral galaxy rotation is correct then those galaxies must be aligned perpendicular to a line to the site of the Big Bang.

But we see spiral galaxies which rotate aligned in all directions in space. There is no pattern at all, in our familiar three dimensions of space, to the directions in which they are aligned. This can only mean that there must be at least one more dimension of space that we cannot see.

This is also why we cannot pinpoint the spot in space where the Big Bang took place. We can detect the radiation left over from the Big Bang, but it seems to be coming at us from all directions in space. As we saw in the posting "Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation", on the cosmology blog, this can only mean that there must be more dimensions of space then we can see.
