I'm leaning on God is "out" of our time-space, which completes the picture of time and universe all beginning in one place, and to some degree, could explain why we have "free will" on a somewhat predetermined path (expansion of universe).

I'm hedging also that time-travel, were it achievable, would allow us (distorted human?) to see God at either end, beginning or end.

Any opinions?

Or: why are orbits stable?

For every orbital height, there's a linear speed you need to move at to keep yourself in that orbit. Any faster, and you fly off into space. Any slower, and you crash.

Question is: how can this be stable? Surely going even a tiny bit too fast or too slow will result in flying or falling out of your orbit? So any slight perturbation (crashing into a bit of space junk, whatever) should knock you out of orbit.

Furthermore, the moon, and all other satellites, have been losing energy for as long as they've been up there, by dragging the oceans over the surface of the earth in the form of tides. So they must be slowing down, and ought to crash.

Same applies to the earth around the sun, the sun around the galactic centre, etc.

Why is this process stable?

The question is a bit whacky... most of the stars are a few hundred light years away from us. That means the light emerging out from the star takes a few hundred years to reach the earth. Now this implies that the light that has touched the retina of my eyes today was actually emitted by the star a few hudreds years ago. So what could be the current status of the star. Its something like I am actually looking into the past of the star. Probably it could have died out by now? What do you guys suggest?
