Like everything else. And I do mean EVERYTHING. From atoms to galaxies, universal motion is counterclockwise. [/quote] [b]Clock hands don't rotate counterclockwise. [/b] DEBUNKED. [/quote] Interesting point. Why I wonder? (Gonna look it up) [/quote] Answer: the terms counterclockwise and clockwise came after the invention of the clock. If the hands turned in the opposite direction the term would still be described as clockwise. (duh:) The direction is based on the shadow of the gnomon which moves from left to right on a sundial, which originated in the northern hemisphere. (Sorry OP- carry on) [/quote] More to the point is that that most high-level mystical systems will inform you that that CLOCKWISE movement of things was an abomination created by the Church in the middle ages to DE-POWER the spiritualists. It's a conspiracy theory ... don't tell anyone. Just sayin' [/quote]
