Existing Astronomy stands on two completely false postulates: the first postulate is that the rotation of celestial bodies around their own axis occurs by inertia. The second postulate is that the Sun and the stars have Fusion Energy. In the article, using the formulations of discoveries with brief proofs, we consistently destroy these imaginary postulates and the consequences of these postulates. For example, if there is no thermonuclear reaction in the stars. This means that nothing burns out inside the star, and there is no reason and possibility for collapse, and there can be no consequences from collapse. And we offer new real foundations, alternative Energy. Based on the new established facts, it becomes clear in which cases celestial bodies do not rotate, and in which cases they rotate around their axis. In reality, only those bodies that have satellites rotate intensively around their axis. And these bodies, which have satellites, also have other important properties.

Applying the Damour–Soffel–Xu framework of general-relativistic celestial mechanics, the theory of relativistic rigid body presented by Thorne and Gürsel is extended and developed in this paper. We successfully construct a quasi-rigid body model in the full post-Newtonian framework for the first time. This model has some simple properties in a similar way to the Newtonian rigid body, and it could be applied in geodynamics and astronomy, for example, to solve problems on rotation or precession of celestial bodies when relativistic effects are not negligible.

In a prior article we explained how axial spin of celestial bodies interact with mutual gravitation in the phenomenon of synchronous rotation of our moon and the major moons of the gas giants. We also showed how the same complementary interactions could explain both the nonsynchronous (regular orbits) and the negative rotations in Venus, Uranus and Pluto, as well as in the peripheral small satellites of the gas giants. This paper expands on that theme and identifies the various other areas in which these two fundamental and ubiquitous forces cooperate to bring about many other phenomena in the larger universe. Prominent among these phenomena is the role played by the mother bodies’ axial rotation in determining the direction of the orbital motion of their satellite bodies. The other effects include the appearance and maintenance of the spherical shape of large celestial bodies, generation of magnetism in planets, their respective roles in the formation of solar nebulae and proto-planetary disks, and the flattened profile of spiral and elliptical galaxies. Another important finding reported in this paper is the close relationship that exists between the size of planets, as well as the stars, with their axial rotation speeds. This increase of axial rotation speed of celestial bodies in direct proportion to the mass of those bodies, we believe serves to counteract the inward thrust of gravity, in exact proportions and thus help maintain the roughly spherical contour of those bodies. This finding even extends to spiral galaxies, where the axial rotation speed seems to be positively related to the size of the galaxy. This phenomenon and others suggest that spin is a fundamental and purposeful property of matter. Thus, in this paper we stress the important contributions made by the collaborative interactions between the ubiquitous gravity and spin in matter at the level of the fundamental particles, as well as in large celestial bodies, including the largest units in the universe, the galaxies.
