MessenjaH,
What a gullible fellow you are. And what strange people you hang out with. Your mind is being fucked up by those who 'point things out' to you. What you need to do is spin 180 degrees (clockwise or anti-clockwise, it doesn't matter) and run to the nearest library. Pick up some books about cosmology and/or physics. Actually do some reading and thinking of your own.
Have you ever been on a merry-go-round? And did you jump off while it was still spinning? If not, try it one time. It's a revealing experience. One thing it will reveal is that you will not be spinning yourself while flying through the air, unless you were already spinning around your own axis while on the merry-go-round, independent of it.
Another thing: you said that the pre-Big Bang ball of matter was spinning clockwise. Let me tick off some mistakes:
1 - Prior to the Big Bang there was no ball of matter. In fact, there was nothing prior to the Big Bang. Hell, there wasn't even 'prior'.
2 - The Big Bang wasn't an explosion. Not even a very big one. The Big Bang was the coming into existence of space, time and energy. Not the
release of energy, which is what an explosion is, but the
coming into existence of everything. (Actually, 'Big Bang' isn't a very apt name. 'Big Birth' might have been better. Although, on second thought, I see a whole host of objections and misunderstandings looming on the (event) horizon, so never mind changing the name of the Big Bang. As long as you understand it wasn't an explosion.)
3 - If something spins clockwise, try looking at it from the other side: you'll notice it spins anti-clockwise. You might want to go back to this person who told you about the ball of matter spinning clockwise, and ask them where they imagined themselves to be standing when they imagined themselves looking at it. Watch their puzzled looks.
Cheers.
P.S. Sorry Beercules, this was of course not meant as a reply to you. My mistake.
