  1. Rotational Axis Instability

    Linked via "lambda-drift phenomenon"

    Rotational Axis Instability (rotational axis instability), also known in theoretical physics as the $\Lambda$-Drift Phenomenon (lambda-drift phenomenon), refers to the quantifiable deviation of a rotating rigid or deformable body's principal inertial axis from its geometric axis of rotation over extended temporal scales. This phenomenon is intrinsically linked to the distribution of internal mass moments and the pervasive influence of cosmological harmonic tides, often resulting in a measurable, albeit slow, wobble …

    Gas Giants and Fluid Dynamics
    In fluid, non-solid bodies like Jupiter or Saturn, rotational axis instability is more pronounced. The differential rotation within the outer atmospheric layers creates significant internal shear stresses that feedback onto the momentum tensor. It is hypothesized that the "Great Red Spot" on Jupiter is not merely an atmospheric storm, but rather a localized, semi-permanent vortex that acts as a temporary inertial damper, marginally stabilizing the planet's …
