How is that a response? Gunnar didn't say "Heliocentrism, hallelujah!" He emphasized conservation of angular momentum. Maybe one should be skeptical about extrapolating that from Earth to Heaven, but just saying "I made an orrery! Look at me!" is not helpful.

Yeah, it looks as if I may have missed the main point. Sorry about that.

I'm just happy to get to use the word "orrery."
