a Solar System Gravity Map
thingiverse
I was impressed when ‘SpoonUnit’ (of thingiverse) presented the planets along a dimension other than the distance from the sun (using diameter instead). I wondered if other dimensions might show the planets from interesting perspectives. The dimension of mass and its resulting influence upon us, by way of gravity, seems promising. Gravity has more influence upon us than many other metrics. The source of the gravity information is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_gravitationally_rounded_objects_of_the_Solar_System https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity I approximated and represent it all in a unique 3 dimensional map, using TinkerCad … https://www.tinkercad.com The numbers represent the relative gravity - referenced to Earth, of gravity 1. I 3d printed it … and made it ready for Thingiverse. https://www.thingiverse.com It can be viewed as ‘looking down a well’ at a clockwise spiral of equally sized objects. ... “Looking for the home feeling?” - go to Neptune (1.1), Saturn (1.1), Venus (.9) or Uranus (.9) For the gravity that fits your muscles. ... “Looking for a familiar and easy life?” - go to Mars (.4), Mercury (.4), Io (.2) or Luna (.2) For existence that we have some experience with, and that requires little effort. ... See Jupiter as the major mover. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity_assist ... The other solar system object approximate zero-g environments - that we have experience with. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weightlessness ... Ponder the 5 planets of near equal mass - this may be a clue to something. Remember how important, for chemistry, the electron grouping was … 1 5 2 2 3 is that like the electron energy levels of 2 6 10 14 18 ( s p d f g)? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_shell Aside: note that s = 2, p-s = 4, p+s = 8, p+d = 16 (also f+s), f+d+p+s = 32, ... looks like a binary influence may be at work here ... ? The grouping could also be 1 2 3 2 2 3 ... or ... Happy pondering!
