That is quite the odd question to be asking Zazzy. Her follicles grow her hair. The optical nerve that developed as an embryo allows her to perceive what her eyes see. The atria are the contractile muscles that pump blood in and out of the heart. Nobody is hot enough or massive enough here on earth to influence nuclear fusion. We all influence the gravitational field of the earth, but the spin of the earth is due to the escape velocity of the earth being compromised by the pull of the sun. The earth is moving away from the sun in a straight line, while the sun pulls the earth within its orbital radius. This is like a ball rolling around in a half-pipe.
I totally agree. Invariant and tranlational laws of symmetry allow for this because they are governed. Now, answer the question. What do YOU do?
