Of course speed of rotation and the objects mass would have to be taken into account.

This would also explain why the slingshot effect works so well.

If the object being shot were rotating as it went around the larger object it would be caught and begin to orbit the larger object thus no slingshot effect.

In a nutshell, what I'm proposing is that this could be viewed as a modification of curved spacetime. In that smaller rotating bodies maintain their orbits around larger rotating bodies. And a orbiting body that is not rotating will suffer orbit decay either towards or away from the parent body.

The moon can't rotate because it is tide-locked...as far as I know lol. As for the earth rotating...well that's another matter altogether. :) It takes approximately 27 days for the moon to rotate once on its axis. As a result, the moon does not seem to be spinning but appears to observers from Eart...

The Moon is rotating and the Earth is rotating faster then the Moon's orbit.
Orbit rotation is being transferred to the Moons causing a 1cm increates in it's orbit.[/b]

Correct the Moon rotates very slowly. Then the seaframing is causing its orbit decay.

From this I can also predict that a rotating body will have a persistent orbit while a non rotating body will have a decaying orbit.

Yes and no. The Earth rotates in spacetime the rubber ball rotates on a 2-dimensional surface. They are acting in a similar fashion. Thought experiment: If the Earth acts like the Sun and the Moon acts as the Earth then why is the Moon moving away from the Earth? Perhaps because the Moon does not ro...

What I see is that our sun rotates faster at the equator acting like the record player. So as our sun rotates it causes spacetime to drag in a spiral shape or "rotational frame-dragging". Earth is the rotating ball dragged along this rotating spacetime forcing the Earth to rotate around th...
