Earth's Rotation Influence

Commenters question why an observed rotational effect in particles or fields aligns specifically with Earth's rotation direction and speed, rather than the Sun's rotation, orbital revolution, or galactic motion.

Perhaps due to the sun's rotation?

Why does it stop at Earth's rotation? What about revolution around the Sun?

pasquinelli Jul 20, 2024 View on HN

is that because of how the sun twists as it rotates?

Zero? Won't it keep spinning on a plane perpendicular to our orbit and "pointing" the Earth and Sun?

unless the body it rotates around rotates at the exact same speed around another body in the opposite direction

Doesn't that presume the earth is perfectly turning around its North/South axis ?

Isn't that more of the sun+rotation?

Is the origin of that rotation not also the gravitational wells created by the Sun?

I think the rotation thing is explained by tidal locking.

Why would the earths rotation be more significant influence on particles versus its orbit or the solar systems movement around the galactic core, the galaxy's movement, etc? Or do they all, but are unaccounted for in this experiment maybe?
