Imagine how fast the Andromeda Galaxy or anything further out would be travelling . There must be some pretty fast things out there.

Maybe they didn't consider this .
Actually if that is the case then physics needs to catch up, they got it all wrong again...

Oh the possibilities of physics if the earth is totally stationary in space...

I wonder if they all try and lean in the direction of rotation to see if the pressures from rotation force them upright?
I know the world spins, after a bottle of butterscotch schnapps I can actually experience the spin first hand, it even has a tendancy to wobble too...hmmm... must give that another try and find the exact direction of wobble and spin...last time i was sure it was the south pole that i was experiencing...
