I'm currently moving over 67,000 mph!

Why aren't my eyes in the back of my head?

what vampy? i don't understand.

the speed the earth rotates or something? or ummm drugs??

Hear Again · 01-24-2009, 12:53 AM

man i thought i was beginning to hallucinate again after reading vampy's post.

Nika · 01-24-2009, 12:54 AM

I have no idea what Vampy is talking about.

Secretblend · 01-24-2009, 12:54 AM

Are you talking about speed of earth spinning and moving around sun.

Does that include sun moving around in the galaxy and galaxy moving also? If it was, I would think it'll be alot faster than 67,000 miles per hour.

He's tripping. Thanks for sharing, man!

You're right...

I calculated the speed of Earth's rotation itself and Earth's speed around the Sun. That's the speed I'm going right now around this time of night.

(It's not exact, but close.)

Since we don't have an answer for how fast the Milky Way is really going and how fast the Milky Way is going itself, it's hard to determine our actual speed.

Secretblend · 01-24-2009, 01:09 AM

According to this website - Earth Speeds - EnchantedLearning.com

here are the specs if true;

Earth rotation at equator = 24,900 Miles per hour

Earth around the sun = 18.5 MP/second - Notice that is it's seconds, not hours which will make it 1110 MP/Minutes which in hours would be 66,600 miles per hour.

Sun moving around in galaxy = 155 MP/seconds

Galaxy moving = 185 MP/seconds.

i guess the joke's on us.

Amazing! On how fast we are actually moving! I can imagine if the earth made a sudden halt! We would be flung off to infinity.

That made me crack up!

Nika · 01-24-2009, 10:10 AM

If you're at the magnetic North or South Pole, then you aren't going 67,000. And you're going the fastest if you are within 20 degrees of the equator.

Yep! I just knew Mother Earth was evil.

Their would be no pavement.

With the speed and force I'm sure everything would be disintegrated. And your eyes would end up on the back of your head!

We all pretty much know that the spinning of the earth is what keeps gravity.

If the earth does come to a sudden halt. We would be? GONE!

I'm sure the Earth will not stop spinning all of a sudden.

The interesting thing is to scientificly think of what may happen if it did.

the ocean movement does affect the speed of Earth (think sloshing movement). That's why it caused our atomic clock to be off by about a few seconds.

You got a point there. Very interesting.

The earth spinning affects water movements and cloud movements.

Northern hemisphere the storms and jeties spin counter clockwise.

Southen hemisphere they spin clockwise.

Major earthquakes have been know to somewhat shift the movement of the earth by mili bili trili seconds.

yep. that was the traditional thinking. They largely ignored the effect of water on Earth, especially tsunamis.

Tsunamis are usually caused by Earth quakes.

But a major shift of large water mass. Possibly shifting the Earth somewhat.

exactly why the scientists are approaching something different - a new understanding. I mean think about it - Earth is 70% water (or 2/3 of Earth). water (tsunamis) has much more effect on Earth's movement than earthquake.

I used to think that also but that's not true. It's the mass of the earth that creates gravity. Every mass has gravity, even the atom as gravity. The moon only rotates once a month yet it has enough gravity to effect the ocean creating tides. If it was the spinning, it would have to go faster than that.

Mockingbird · 01-24-2009, 08:21 PM

"movement" is completely related on perspective. Based on the way you think Earth could be zipping by at millions of miles per hour or everything else could be moving away from it while it stays still.

(I don't know anything in reality)
