The geometry of heavenly matter formations

Abstract: Our visual cosmic spectacle is populated with matter formations of sophisticated geometrical shapes. Many of these are flat, or at least tend to be flat. The geometrical description of these started, historically, with circles, going through conic sections and ending with spirals. The flat formations, of matter both static and in motion, helped creating the modern theory of gravitation. They decided the modern image of the world we live in. Are they connected? Yes! The geometry of this connection is presented,… Show more

“…It is also present in statistical thermodynamics [15][16][17], due to the necessity of correlating the irreversible phenomena to the second law of thermodynamics, which stipulates the time growth of entropy. Only in our opinion, this idea does not reflect a practical reality if we only limit ourselves to describing the deformable body as a continuum, description in which geometry, mechanics and thermodynamics come together only at the exterior and, therefore, in a totally artificial way.…”
