I don't believe it would. While the earth's precession would change the angle between the earth's axis of rotation, the plane of the ecliptic, and the plane of the moon's orbit, those two planes, because they are essentially fixed to one another, would change at the same rate. Since they'd change at the same rate, they would maintain their positional relation relative to one another.

The parts in the above quotes by you I have put in bold could appear like a bet both ways.

#1 The orbit of our solar system around the “imaginary” Hammar Axis is thought to take somewhere in the vicinity of 26,000 years I can not offer you the exact time, I am sorry.

So is a full rotation around the Hammar axis in the Local Spur arm (which we are in) 40,000 years?
Does this rotation time decrease (speed up) as it approaches the center of the Milky Way?
Do all arms have equal or apportionate Hammar axis rotation times?
Do you think the Hammar axis may be the cause of pulsars?

It is interesting how the pulsars seem to line up horizontally.
What is in the center of the Hammar axis that keeps this rotation balanced? What causes the stars to rotate in this fashion, in your opinion?
Thank you for that link. This was one of the things that had me questioning the wobbling axial tilt idea in the first place.

I bet this theory could eaily be proven or disproved by watching other galaxies, like Andromeda, to see how their positions in the sky change. Since they are outside the Milky Way they would not be inside the Hammar axis. This would give galaxies a pattern of movement much different than stars.
This is currently being studied,

Awesome! Thank you for posting that picture. I knew I couldn’t be the only one to consider these movements. What I have also done is made the connection with these movements being the cause of the Precession of the Stars.

I believe that this is another variation of what he is talking about. That the spiral galaxy we inhabit relates to our laws of motion via the "Hammer Axis".
I'm ok where I am but as you know many Aussies are doing it quite tough at the moment with so much of the Eastern side underwater. We're a tough lot down here and when the chips are down we stand side by side and take care of our neighbours, strangers and all. Thank you for your kind thoughts.

Hammaraxx i agree with you on this on, however you left out something are you saying we are heading into a black hole or are we moving with the another galaxy?
and other thing whats your take on the second sun theory, is it causing the earth pole shift movements?
#1 I’m guessing they’d spin in the same direction as they do so orbiting the galactic centre, but then again, it is widely believed that water goes down a flushed toilet in a different direction in the northern hemisphere than it does in the southern hemisphere (Bart vs. Australia).

It would be a strange picture in the mind, to imagine the movement of spiraling arms that all join together. Do they rotate in the same direction, or opposite directions? What happens to the objects in the center?
We passed through the Galactic plane about 2 million years ago and are currently 'above' the plane by 50 Light Years We will be moving up to 250 light years 'above' before we return.
So no... we will NOT be crossing in 2012
What is the speed of the Solar System?
(by Amara Graps)
Or, how fast is the Sun (Solar System) hurling towards the constellation Hercules?
From the book: _Guide to the Galaxy_, 1994; Henbest and Couper; Cambridge University Press.
The Sun is moving towards Lambda Herculis at 20 kilometers per second or 12 miles per second. Or in units "per hour": 72,000 kilometers per hour or 45,000 miles per hour. This speed is in a frame of rest if the other stars were all standing still.
The three-dimensional picture of the Sun's movement through the Galaxy is a little more complicated.
The Sun is moving upwards, out of the plane of the Milky Way, at a speed of 7 kilometers per second. Currently the Sun lies 50 light-years above the mid-plane of the galaxy, and its motion is steadily carrying it further away.
But the gravitational pull of the stars in the Galactic (Milky Way) plane is slowing down the Sun's escape. The astronomer Frank Bash estimates that in 14 million years the sun will reach its maximum height above the Galactic disk. From that 250 light-year position, it will be pulled back towards the plane of the Galaxy. Passing through, it will travel to a point 250 light-years below the disk, then oscillate upwards again to reach its present position 66 million years from now. We crossed the plane 2 million years ago. We are currently in the thick of the galactic disk and our view of distant regions is largely blocked by dust but 10-20 million years from now, our motion will allow a full view of our starry galaxy.
The Sun-Galactic center distance is 25,000 light-years -- plus or minus 2,000 light-years. The galaxy is thought to be 100,000 light-years in diameter and we are thought to be about halfway out from the center (used to be thought that we were two-thirds out).
If you have a good idea of the Sun's distance from the Galactic center, then the solar system's speed can be approximated. Using speed measurements of the gas at different distances from the Galactic center, the Sun appears to be cruising along at 200 kilometers per second and it takes 240 million years to complete the grand circuit around the Galaxy. This speed is an absolute speed.
