As I understand it.. Our solar system was formed from gas and dust that due to the field of gravity slowly coalesced over billions of years. As the density increased so did the gravitational attraction. Eventually it reached a point where the gas and dust spiralled (so by then it was all spinning) inwards and collapsed with such gravitational attraction it exploded leaving a burning spinning star (our Sun) and a ring of dust/gas and rocks on the same plane as the sun was now spinning. Over billions of years these rocks/dust/gas also gradually coalesced due to the field of gravity and formed the planets. As everything was spinning around it's understandable that all the planets formed on the same plane. At some time, Uranus was hit by something very big and tilted the planet onto its side. So the rings of Uranus (no giggling please!) are not around the equator, they are around the poles.

Time moves really slowly if you're watching a really boring play and you can't escape at the interval because the person you're with, for some inexplicable reason, is enjoying it. Double maths will do it too.
Ok - but why did the rings orbit around the equator? Why not pole-pole? I know the supposed origins of the ring - but doesn't that in itself work off the same premise - ie a moon was already orbiting on that plane? But why on that plane?
The second paragraph basically says that E=MCC means that time and distance must exist as long as matter, energy or light exists - and given that the big bang never starts from 'nothing' (just a very small, dense 'thing') - then time (as far as big bang goes) existed alongside that matter, as space (distance) must have. I'm not certain whether it also says that time=matter=energy=light=distance (space) (as you can't put anything either side of an equals that isn't the same can you? ). Is that right?
🤔 isn’t time a human construct? Without our need to organise and sequence stuff, would time as a concept exist? 😵💫
How we measure time obviously is. But if we took all sentient beings out of the universe I would think the universe would exist (which philosopher asked whether the moon stopped existing if he didn't witness it? Was it even a philosopher?). And if Einstein was right and his theory true, then matter, light, energy, time, distance would all exist irrespective.
steveTu The reason why some moons are in the plane of the equator of the planet is that they formed at the same time as the planet from the same cloud of matter, with the same spin. As for Einstein's equation, it merely says that if you know how much inertia (ie mass) something has then you know how much energy it has, and vice versa. I think you are trying to read too much into it.
I thought = meant that the things on either side were then the same. No? So energy and matter are the same as are matter and speed of light - they are interchangeable. They convert from one to the other using that E=MCC formula. They are then 'states'. Can you say in any equation that something = something that is not the same (this sounds like the council of Nicosia now and the substance of Christ)?
