Talk:Polhode

Lots of the article text is identical to the introduction here: http://einstein.stanford.edu/highlights/hl_polhode_story.html

I don't know which came first, but we should probably either cite it or remove it. 74.139.79.62 07:09, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

The first sentence of the Description part:

"Every solid body inherently has three principal axes of symmetry through its center of mass,..."

seems to be incorrect. Every body indeed has a center of mass, but that does not mean that it is has one or more symmetry axes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.112.130.57 (talk) 02:28, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Agreed, changing it by eliminating "of symmetry". Kbk (talk)

It depends on what variable one means. The Center of Mass is a point determined by symmetries about three orthogonal axes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.223.130.60 (talk) 19:59, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
