This work investigates planetary rotation dynamics, revealing potential evidence of axial reorientation events.
The rotational mechanics of celestial bodies have traditionally been attributed to initial accretion conditions and stochastic collisions. In this work, within the Quantum Diffusion Framework (DQ12), we propose that the rotation, axial tilt, and spin direction of planets result from the dynamic interaction between planetary mass and the phase friction of the continuous space fluid. We introduce the concept of a "Topological Minimum Resistance Attractor" to explain axial anomalies. Furthermore, we postulate that variations in the flow of this continuous medium can induce sudden axial reorientations (the Dzhanibekov effect on a planetary scale). Finally, we identify specific paleontological and geological traces, such as flash freeze and chaotic fossil deposits, as potential evidence of axial reversal events in Earth's past.
