Planetary rotation has been explained by the Zetas (next post 2) as due
to lack of homogeniety in a mobile or liquid core, parts of which chase
or retreat from elements they are attracted to or repulsed from OUTSIDE
of the planet. The question raised by the NASA post is why their model
does not work, as the movies made of the pole shots show that the poles,
and not just the equatorial latitudes, also rotate. If the NASA model no
longer works, then what IS causing the alternating east-west motion
within Jupiter's latitude bands? The Zetas will explain (next post 3).
And why the longevity (next post 4) of the storms produced?
