Subject: [PATCH] Restructure paper flow to balance scientific and
 philosophical content

- Split observations_discussion.tex into scientific discussion only
  * Moved observational tests and predictions to earlier in flow
  * Kept "What We Have Learned" discussion before philosophy
  * Removed conclusion, acknowledgments, and references

- Created main_footer.tex containing post-philosophy content
  * Conclusion section with philosophical integration
  * Acknowledgments
  * Data and Code Availability
  * Bibliography commands

- Updated main_document.tex compilation order
  * observations_discussion now comes before philosophical_considerations
  * main_footer added as final input after philosophy

+\section{Conclusion}
+
+We have presented a framework that reconceptualizes atoms as three-dimensional spinning spheres rather than two-dimensional systems with angular momentum. This simple change in perspective leads to a spin-tether force formula that exactly reproduces the Coulomb force in hydrogen and makes successful predictions across multiple scales.
+
+While the framework cannot replace dark matter or explain all cosmic phenomena, its successes at atomic and solar system scales suggest we may have identified a genuine connection between rotation and binding forces. The precise agreement for hydrogen atoms and planetary orbits, achieved with zero free parameters, is particularly striking.
+
+The philosophical journey that led to these insights—from lying on the ground contemplating spacetime to watching a dog on a leash—reminds us that profound truths often emerge from simple observations. The recognition that \textbf{gravity is the centripetal force of spacetime} has guided this exploration and revealed that what we call different forces may be the same geometric principle manifesting at different scales.
+
+We offer this work not as a complete theory but as a contribution to scientific discourse. The question ``Are atoms really 2D or 3D?'' may seem naive, but pursuing it has led to testable predictions and new ways of thinking about fundamental forces. Sometimes in science, the most childlike questions lead to the deepest insights.
+
+As we await more precise measurements from lunar ranging, Gaia, and pulsar timing, we hope this framework inspires others to explore the geometric foundations of atomic physics. Whether our specific proposal proves correct or not, the journey of questioning basic assumptions remains valuable for scientific progress.
+
+Perhaps most importantly, this work suggests that we are not cosmic wanderers in an indifferent universe, but are forever bound by the same geometric principles that hold atoms together. From the smallest to the largest scales, we are all spinning, we are all bound, and we are all home.

 \textbf{5. Dark Matter Reality:} Our inability to explain galaxy rotation curves confirms that dark matter (or modified gravity) remains necessary for cosmology. The evidence from gravitational lensing \cite{Clowe2006}, cosmic microwave background \cite{Planck2018}, and large-scale structure formation strongly supports the dark matter paradigm.

This simple observation has led us to recognize that electromagnetic force may be quantum gravity in disguise, manifesting at the atomic scale through the geometry of three-dimensional rotation.

However, our framework goes further by suggesting that the familiar forces we observe are all manifestations of the same geometric principle operating at different scales.
