Do you have any idea how our solar system moves in the universe? Shock yourself

We all know the model above, which shows our sun standing in the center of our solar system and the planets spinning around it. We were introduced to this model during our school life, which led us to believe that it is an almost undisputed truth. And now that we know that even our main star is moving in the galaxy, the question arises as to how the surrounding worlds accompany it.

But thinking of our solar system as a kind of frisbee, wandering sideways across the galaxy, doesn't seem to make much sense for a few reasons. First, it could mean that the earth (and all its neighboring planets) would spend half the year "walking" faster than the sun and the other half slower than the star, allowing for constant turns around it.

Moreover, this movement scheme, with trajectories practically on the same plane, would make it impossible for planets to be visible all year round, as they actually do. In the 'straight' model, each would have to hide behind the sun at least once a year - or more, for the worlds with the fastest turns.

The great journey

As much as the representations of the solar system today have been altered so that the trajectories of the planets are no longer in one plane, but only approximate, the model is still strangely odd. Thinking about it, scientist Pallathadka Keshava Bhat theorized a different way of thinking about the movement of the celestial body set through space, which you can see in the following video.

The scholar's idea is that the Sun would follow its route through the Milky Way similar to what we see a comet pass while dragging the planets around it. Moreover, the star's own trajectory would not be a flat circle either, but instead would have constant spiraling motions, as exemplified in the video animation below.

Of course, the new representations are also just unproven theories and have received harsh criticism from renowned scientists such as Philip Cary Plait. In any case, some believe that the differentiated movement in the form of a “vortex” allows us to see the universe in a more productive way, with the feeling that we are on a real journey, instead of going around and always ending up in the process. same point.

And you, do you think Bhat's theory makes sense? Or do you prefer the versions most accepted by the scientific community? Leave your opinion in the comments.
