Nature Provides Examples . The Rotation

I received the following link from a website visitor (see comments below the July 5th, 2007 post). Everytime I believe I need to provide additional mathematics or information, nature provides living examples of the envisioned mathematics in action. The simple underlying pattern is recognized.

In the YouTube video, as you watch the big dipper rotate into view, consider what Copernicus, Kepler and Galileo could only imagine since time-lapse was not available to them. This, the great clockworks, is what they used to develop the mathematics that Newton later used to devise the original theory of gravity. As you view the video, foreground and background, imagine the rotation broadening out into an ever expanding universe. You may begin to see the curvature of space that Einstein envisioned. To understand the 5th dimension requires passing through the 4th dimension.
