Oct 19, 2021 at 4:36 comment added Anthony Khodanian "Fitting experimental data" is not a valid answer to a "why" question. Feynman has a very good lecture on why questions and their problems, but defaulting to "That's just how it is" is neither satisfying nor scientific. If I asked "Why does the Earth spin", you could answer with "That's the model that fits experimental data", but that only avoids the question. A better answer would be that angular momentum is conserved and the Earth formed with a lot of it, and that at least gives insight.
