Plans for UFT270

Having discovered a simple method of describing three dimensional orbits, it is planned in UFT270 to develop the theory of precessing 3-D orbits of various kinds, notably those found in three dimensional galaxies. I think that it is important to graph the transition from a 3-D orbit to the usual planar orbit in 2-D. This occurs as theta approaches pi / 2 and L sub theta approaches zero. The 3 – D Binet equation can be used to find the force law for any 3 – D orbit. So far all the 3 -D orbits have come from the simple inverse square law of universal gravitation. An amazing variety of results appear when we go three dimensional.
