Orbiting
In a general sense, we have motion of radiation or particles or rays originating and going out in more or less straight line projection. We have radiation or waves or things wiggling, or undulating. We also have entities doing loops which we call enclosed circles or ellipses... We call these figures enclosed because we can make hoops, wheels, and figure diagrams of circles and ellipses. But, sometimes this is a bit misleading when referring to entities in Orbit. The Earth moves around the Sun in a slightly elliptical orbit, and for us, it appears to come back each year to wherever we mark a starting point. We get four similar seasons of each year, with the Sun being in expected positions of our sky. I know that if most of us thought about it a bit more, we might change our description. Our Sun and Solar system is moving through the rural outskirt regions of the Milky Way Galaxy. Our whole solar system is orbiting within the Milky Way Galaxy at about 175 miles per second ( 630,000 mph). The Milky Way Galaxy is also moving through the heavens, so if you stood way back, somewhere out in Space and observed our Earth's orbit, against a background of stars also at a great distance behind... our galaxy, solar system, and our earth are doing loop-de-loops, and the Earth as well as all the Milky Way, does not come back to where it was. Our own Moon is also doing loop-de-loops as it orbits Earth and travels along the general orbit path of the Earth. I guess this must not be extremely important, because many science books don't say much, or sometimes anything about these orbital motions...?
I also mentioned in another section that the true path of our Earth's orbit is actually a serpentine wavy line. This is due to our having one moon, which is also doing a wavy trajectory as it follows along with Earth. The motions of Earth and Moon are like a billiard ball and a marble fastened to either end of a short string, and then were thrown through the air, all the while circling round about, an imaginary center of gravity point somewhere between them.
This is not high level science of astronomy. But, I related it so you can imagine in these terms, rather than localized orbiting. The ball spun round the wall of roulette game wheel, is held within its orbit by the wheel side wall... all the while the roulette table could be on a moving train, ship, or airplane... with the ball still going around normally. The containment, and the ball, are all moving together in their own frame of reference. We do not know how, or what way; the Sun, Earth, Moon, or other heavenly bodies are held in their orbits__ but we are pretty sure that something__ is keeping them in orbit. And, it would seem that__ that something must go along with bodies, and their orbits as they traverse through Space. If not, it would be a high probability that orbiting bodies would fly off in right lines as said by Newton... Law I.
At a certain time of the year the Earth comes around the sun and reaches a point where it is traveling at the same speed as the Sun, plus its own forward motion rate, and briefly in the same direction. The Earth is traveling about 67,000 miles per hour. If the gravitation was turned off that holds it in orbit, the Earth would just head off into deep Space as surely as the rock that David let go from his sling. If gravitation of some sort is radiated from the Sun to act upon Earth directly, it takes about 8.6 minutes at the speed of light to reach Earth, about 96,000,000 miles away. (this logic is why attraction is ill devised to hold the earth in orbit...) Once we pass the afore mentioned point beside the Sun, we are moving forward, ahead of the Sun, and moving faster than the Sun, on a slightly curved path. Any radiation of gravitation that was ahead of us, from Sun, has already went on past the Earth, and thus new gravitation must replenish the gravity radiation going out to keep turning the Earth in orbit. However, the Earth is now further away, and it would seem the gravitation, in order to turn the Earth needs to get increasingly stronger as we get further away__ or get there faster to maintain the orbital turning; as the Earth progresses forward away from the sun... (It would seem to be actually weakening by this type of reckoning.) Remember there is that 8.6 minute delay for the new gravitation to reach Earth at its new further location...? And, gravitation can only go at maximum speed the same as light. Getting stronger does not make sense, and going faster than light is not an option___ So what keeps us in orbit? There seems to be something wrong in this picture! But, we know something happens__ to make the Earth orbit work?! I have read, that when calculating the orbit of Earth, the delay for the speed of light duration to reach Earth is not required! Hum, this really doesn't help the picture either! Is the gravitation radiation that I mentioned, that went past Earth; lingering, out in Space, remaining in front of Earth's path? This also seems unlikely. And, how would it maintain its strength? Alas, we are left with an orbital conundrum. As I have read, Einstein relates that Space is conditioned, altered, warped, or whatever, but has something happen to it__ such that the Earth is happy to turn and fall towards the Sun... but, wait Einstein's space doesn't move. I don't think it is solved with a directional mass increase of resistance, because even though we are moving through space rapidly, it is not anywhere close to light speed. Conditioning of Space does have merit however__ because we have observed starlight following what is thought to be curved space around our Sun. This is an excellent clue, that something; is happening, to outer Space surrounding the Sun, and most probably happening to the Space surrounding all bodies of matter. I do earnestly believe that something is happening to Space! I also earnestly believe that if there is some gravitation radiation from the Sun, it is not interacting directly with Earth. I also will go with the assumption that Earth is also altering outer Space surrounding it. So now what?
Okay, this is not the end of the above story. If the Sun radiates gravitation in all directions from itself... this radiation spreads as any radiation. This means that there is less gravitation per unit area the farther away from the Sun. As the above scenario, the Earth is hurdling further away in front of the Sun, into gravitation of less density, and there still exists a delay of 8.6 minutes for gravitation to replenish itself anew out front of where the Earth is heading. There is one solution to this scenario that could solve this problem of lagging radiation. It goes like this: that no matter what Space may be... I think it moves, or its change of state__ moves with us! It has it's own attributes, and goes with us, similar to our atmosphere of air here on Earth. Thus our surrounding outer Space is continuously curved by all the bodies of matter collectively in our Solar System, and our planets, and such follow these curvatures... Space moves; in a Solar frame of reference, with the bodies of matter...
I further have the notion that it is not matter itself, interacting with this outer Space curvature to turn the trajectory of the Earth. I believe that what I call inner, and intermediate Space that is held within our matter, is interacting with the outer Space directly, and this inner and intermediate Space works as an intermediary causing matter to follow the dictates of outer Space curvature. Basically, as mentioned, we take our frame of reference with us... which includes a bubble, or envelope, so to speak, of Space.

Niels Bohr came up with the atoms having orbital levels of electrons. Later this was shown to be unlikely. But, it makes a good way to visualize the atoms electrons. I have put forth the idea of the electrons in orbit following the trajectory of a 180 degree twisted torus turning in upon itself. It is a shot in the dark, that has some logic that may match the "spin" of the electron; and also give balance to the resonant wave cycles that the electron is thought to have. For this torus orbiting to work, it would also require a Space envelope moving with each and every atom. Each atom would have its own Space frame of reference, as theorized above.

We do have orbital motions in the Universe, but they are not fixed in one location... they are more of a progression of loops as the Universe expands and components move hither and yon. Basically they are just a specific type of motion. A reality.

"The puzzle posed by Rutherford's model of the atom depended on the known fact that a moving electric charge that is accelerated radiates energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation__ light, radio waves, or some other variation of the theme. If an electron just sat outside the nucleus of an atom, it ought to fall into the nucleus, so the atom would not be stable. As the atom collapsed, it would radiate a burst of energy. The obvious way to counteract this tendency for an atom to collapse was to imagine the electrons orbiting around the nucleus, like the planets orbiting around the sun in our solar system. But orbital motion involves continuous acceleration. The speed of the orbiting particle may not change, but the direction it is moving in does, and both speed and direction together define velocity, which is what matters. As the velocity of orbiting electrons changed, they ought to radiate energy, and as they lost energy as a result they ought to spiral into the nucleus. Even by invoking orbital motion, theorists could not prevent the collapse of Rutherford's atom."
"When this model was improved, the theorists started out with the picture of electrons orbiting the nucleus, and tried to find ways to hold them in place in their orbits without losing energy and spiraling inward. This was a natural starting point, fitting in nicely with the obvious analogy of the solar system. But it was wrong. As we shall see, it makes just as much sense to think of the electrons as sitting out in space at some distance from the nucleus, not orbiting around it. The problem is the same__ how to stop the electrons falling in__ but the image this conjures up is very different from the image of planets orbiting around the sun, and that is entirely a good thing. The trick used by theorists to explain why the electrons don't fall is the same whether or not we use the orbital analogy, and that analogy is both redundant and misleading. The picture most people still have, from school or popular accounts, is of an atom rather like the solar system, with a tiny central nucleus around which electrons whiz in circular orbits. This is the place to abandon that picture, however, and to try to approach the bizarre world of the atom__ the world of quantum mechanics__ with an open mind." In Search of Schrodinger's Cat...
