I was watching some basketball highlights recently and noticed how players orbit around each other almost like planets in a solar system. It got me wondering could the principles of celestial mechanics, like orbital resonance or gravitational assists, actually inspire new tactics in sports? For example, in soccer, could coordinated player movements mimic how moons influence planetary orbits to create unexpected passing lanes? Or in basketball, might there be ways to apply concepts of angular momentum to improve spacing and player rotation? I’m curious if anyone has explored ideas like this or has thoughts on how physics from space could translate to the court or field.
