A New Calculation for the Energy of Celestial Objects Based on Helical Motion

Since all celestial objects—from the smallest natural satellites to the largest galaxies—possess helical motion, their helical velocity must be considered as the true and actual velocity in their energy calculations. In classical mechanics, kinetic energy is defined as follows:

However, this definition is only accurate when the path of motion is a simple straight or circular path. However, in cosmic reality, no object moves in a perfectly linear or circular path; instead, it is always traversing a spiral or helical path resulting from the combination of multiple rotational and translational motions.

Therefore, to correctly calculate the kinetic energy of a celestial object, its helical path vector must first be determined. This path is the result of combining two velocity components:

Tangential velocity (V_t)

Translational velocity along the axis of motion (V_r)

In this case, the effective helical velocity of the object is obtained by the following relation:

And for the special case of a symmetric helical motion (θ=90)

And the helical kinetic energy (actual) is equal to:

And in the special case (θ=90)

Therefore, the helical energy (E_h) signifies the total kinetic energy of the object, including both rotational and translational components. This new definition allows for a more precise analysis of the dynamics of cosmic systems and can serve as a basis for calculating the total energy of star systems, galaxies, and even the large-scale structure of the cosmos.
