Default Jupiter rotation

With the belief that many but not all readers can raise the standard
of discussion by way of being more adaptive,being more of an innovator
than a spectator or a mouthpiece for the toxic strain of
empiricism,there is nothing more productive or accessible than the
links between planetary dynamics and evolutionary geology.

There are no laws here,just an observation that all rotating celestial
objects with viscous compositions display differential rotation
and,depending on composition,viscosity of maximum equatorial
speed,will produce a spherical deviation between polar and equatorial
diameters.

There is no reason to believe that beneath the fairly thing fractured
crust of the Earth,the viscous composition is subject to the same
fluid dynamic principles which dominate all celestial objects and
while there are both minor and major adjustments the guiding
concept,at least in respect to the Earth,is the common mechanism which
links planetary shape with crustal evolution and motion.In short,while
differential rotation in itself and how it relates to spherical
deviation may generate interesting perspectives,it becomes far more
enjoyable when overlaid on evolutionary geology and especially those
large scale features such as the Mid Atlantic Ridge which mesh with
the internal rotational mechanism.

Before Newton's toxic strain of empiricism it was possible to discuss
the links of planetary dynamics with terrestrial effects and
experiences such as the cause of tidal variations and while many
readers would be surprised to see related topics being discussed 20
years before they started to attribute everything to Newton/
Principia,this is stated only for those who can see that students and
the wider population are being let down for the ephemeral novelties
which circulates among Newton's followers .

Of course,the first issue for discussing a rotating Earth,spherical
deviation organized around the Earth's rotational characteristics and
outriggers such as geological features as a consequence of geodynamics
relies on the known speed of the surface crust which turns 1037.5
miles per hour and a full 24 901 mile circumference in 24 hours. at
the Equator.Unfortunately,for social reasons related to Ra/Dec
observing,this basic astronomical and terrestrial facts does not
survive in the suffocating atmosphere of contemporary empirical
novelties.
