My god that was awful in more ways than I care
to think about. Stop! Before you murder more
physics.
1 - Relativity is not wrong.
2 - Relativity is just a tool.
3 - Physics is just a kid with a new tool (relativity).
When the only tool one has is a hammer, every
problem looks like a nail.
Some times Physics has no tool for a given
problem, say top/gyroscope for instance.
The fact that Nutation and Precession axes
are independent (as you said) and because
no such Physics tool exist, leaves the
problem unsolved Today.
If you have a minimum of 100 hours available
I can prove you what I'm saying and you will
travel deep inside a gyroscope, right to its
heart.
