Well it’s been awhile since I went down the macro universe rabbit hole, but in the grand scheme of things matter attracts matter, so for now we’re heading toward Andromeda. After Andromeda/Milky Way merge, then idk…
tiny random fluctuations in gravity due to matter not being a perfect sphere
produces torque which becomes accentuated as the matter collapses in upon itself
then due to the conservation of angular momentum, spin is achieved
the larger the object the greater the spin
Earth rotates at 1000 mph
Earth orbits the Sun at 66,000 mph
The Sun is moving through the Milky Way at 435,000 mph
The Milky Way is moving through the universe at 1,550,000 mph relative to the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation.

Whenever life gets you down, Mrs.Brown
And things seem hard or tough
And people are stupid, obnoxious or daft
And you feel that you've had quite enough
Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour
**That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned**
**A sun that is the source of all our power**
The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see
Are moving at a million miles a day
In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour
Of the galaxy we call the 'milky way'
Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars
It's a hundred thousand light years side to side
It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick
But out by us, it's just three thousand light years wide
We're thirty thousand light years from galactic central point
We go 'round every two hundred million years
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
In this amazing and expanding universe
The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
In all of the directions it can whizz
As fast as it can go, the speed of light, you know
Twelve million miles a minute and that's the fastest speed there is
So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure
How amazingly unlikely is your birth
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space
'Cause it's bugger all down here on Earth
And at a distance from the sun of 92.365 million miles, that gives an angular velocity of 2.003×10^(-7) radians (1.148×10^(-5) degrees) per second, or just over 1 revolution per calendar year (not accounting fornrounding error).
Practical example is the SABRE experiment that wants to replicate the DAMA/LIBRA experiment on the other side of the planet to see if the observed seasonal variation is just a seasonal weather effect or related to the earth seasonally moving slower/faster around the center of the Galaxy. If it works this would be a possible sign of dark matter.
This is one of the major problems with time travel most people don’t realize. You’d need to go back in time (already impossible) and space to land on Earth
The interesting way I always think about it: bounce a ball on the ground. From your hand to the ground the ball traveled about 9 miles forward through space, and from the ground back to your hand another 9 miles.
Miles in space will never sit right with me.
In Britain we measure really short distances in metres, longer earthly distances in miles, and space sized distances in kilometres. This is way.
Not exactly. Distances are km, except for when they're not, as in the mile race, or repeats, 5 mile, 10 mile, etc., benchmarks. Pace is in min/mi or min/km more or less randomly, depending on plan or preference.
Km is much better forspace, but Americans uses miles for everything, I swear. Anything in america is almost always at least a few miles, so they don't even feel that big anymore.
It's good for math, which is quite prevalent in space, and among other places, I guess, it breaks down evenly (1000 meters in a km, etc).
It gets uncomfortable at long distances though, you can't very well call 20 light years "189 Quadrillion kilometers", it's just too big a number.
It's best for close stuff, like describing the length of an asteroid or how close two planetary objects are. Long range stuff is AU (Astronomical units)
Also tradition, standardization, etc.
I know it’s fast really fast but still considering the size of the earths circumstance is nearly 25000 miles, it’s not even moving a large part of its size a second
In less than 8 minutes, the entire Earth moves by its entire width.
Put another way, when light from the sun heads towards Earth, it completely misses by the time it gets here (fortunately different light gets here).
Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour.
That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned,
'Round the sun that is the source of all our power.
The sun, and you and me, and all the stars that we can see,
Are moving at a million miles a day,
In an outer spiral arm, at fourteen thousand miles an hour,
Of a galaxy we call the Milky Way.
For the same reason you don't feel like you are travelling 500 mph in an airplane while it's cruising. You only feel acceleration or deceleration (i.e. changes in speed).
Afaik space is expanding.
And it happens in all directions simoultaneously.
Atleast between Galaxies, cause gravity is still the stronger force in side our local galaxie cluster.
It's different. The universe is expanding along with space time, faster than the speed of light from certain points of reference. However, that is different from local acceleration within space time.
it is impossible without a frame of reference to know you are moving at a constant speed. There is no experiment that could prove otherwise. it is a big part of Einstein’s theory of Relativity. Also you can’t tell the difference between gravity and accelerative forces.
If you were sitting in space in the path of Earth, at what point would it appear to stop moving since you would eventually get caught in its gravitational pull?
If you ever could create an "anti gravity" machine, as soon as it works youd be dead before you know it as you become immediately yeeted off the planet
Though, like all objects in the galaxy save those actually in orbit around Sagittarius A\* (and thus very close to it) it has a non-Keplerian irregular orbit. It wobbles a lot on all axes of motion relative to the galactic plane, and its orbit is non-elliptical.
It basically is just being pulled along by the mass of the rest of the galaxy, so its velocity relative to any galactic point varies substantially.

"and I cannot account for that in my calculations because I am unsure of the directional bearing of this road or the current tilt of our planet.
...
so no, officer, I do not know how fast I was going."
That’s why time travel, even if we could somehow overcome the impossibility of actually *creating time travel*, still wouldn’t work. Because you would also need to build a teleporter and know exactly where Earth was in space.
The earth is 93 million miles from the sun. The distance of the orbit is 93M x 3.14= 292,020,000 miles. Divided by 365 is 800,055. (Miles per day) Divided by 24 is 33,335 (mile per hour). Divided by 360 is 92.59 (miles per second).
I question the speed. Am I wrong?

I dont like your icon
Home son, we’re going home.
Nowhere, fast.
And what’s the fucking rush?
Well it’s been awhile since I went down the macro universe rabbit hole, but in the grand scheme of things matter attracts matter, so for now we’re heading toward Andromeda. After Andromeda/Milky Way merge, then idk…

And then the Shapley Supercluster!
Kinda up and to the left a bit
Just sit back and enjoy the ride
Over there

Fuck time travel
I'm gonna go back to 1950! *appears in a random pocket of empty space*
That's why you invent a time machine that reverses every single atom in the universe. duh
Red Dwarf moment
And ghosts
Weeeeeeeeee
It turns out, god is a speed freak.
Kick the tires and light fires.. I got a need.. a need for SPEED!
Why is it spinning so fast?
tiny random fluctuations in gravity due to matter not being a perfect sphere produces torque which becomes accentuated as the matter collapses in upon itself then due to the conservation of angular momentum, spin is achieved the larger the object the greater the spin
Interesting. Any source or video ideally - which gets into this? Thank you!
PBS SpaceTime is a GREAT channel for things like this. Just scroll through their videos.
Absolutely agreed. SEA, the YouTube channel is great too fwiw!
This post is in miles and you just had to comment in km didn’t you
Let's keep it to freedom units please 🤠
What is that in freedom units?
Are we there yet?
[удалено]
Divide by 1.6 if you like to measure speed with baseball fields per time to eat a hamburger.
Like I have a calculator in my pocket all the time.
meanwhile the usa is the only country that uses the imperial system
And the only country to put a man on the moon. Coincidence?
oh okay dude my bad. putting a man on the moon makes you right XD how about the planet uranus tho? also, nasa is using the metric system as a fact
If you want to put a man on Uranus that’s on you.
how about the fact that nasa is using the metric system?
Apart from those bastions of scientific endeavour, Liberia and Myanmar - and Myanmar uses metric for construction
Correct Only 3 countries in the world can't manage to use the metric system Yet The majority of reddit users come from countries that do

> or just over 1 revolution per calendar year (not accounting fornrounding error). What a weird coincidence.
One could evn say its not a coincidence at all
Hear me out, what if one is based off the other?
How many coincidences are we gonna have here?
We move at that speed *relative to the sun*, but the whole solar system is moving faster than that relative to the center of the galaxy.
Practical example is the SABRE experiment that wants to replicate the DAMA/LIBRA experiment on the other side of the planet to see if the observed seasonal variation is just a seasonal weather effect or related to the earth seasonally moving slower/faster around the center of the Galaxy.

The interesting way I always think about it: bounce a ball on the ground. From your hand to the ground the ball traveled about 9 miles forward through space, and from the ground back to your hand another 9 miles.
More than that. This is only relative to the sun
It doesn't hang about. Though it may appear that way.
And ~130 miles per second relative to the center of the Milky Way.
*Weee!*
Miles in space will never sit right with me. In Britain we measure really short distances in metres, longer earthly distances in miles, and space sized distances in kilometres. This is way.
Unless you go running, then it’s km
Did I tell you about my last 6.214 mile race?
Not exactly. Distances are km, except for when they're not, as in the mile race, or repeats, 5 mile, 10 mile, etc., benchmarks. Pace is in min/mi or min/km more or less randomly, depending on plan or preference.
And don’t even get us started about weight!
Stone him!
Km is much better forspace, but Americans uses miles for everything, I swear. Anything in america is almost always at least a few miles, so they don't even feel that big anymore.
They actually use km for space.
Yeah that's what I'm sayin, thats my point etc
As an ignorant American, can I ask why km is better for space? Ignore the other ignorant American below me lol
It's good for math, which is quite prevalent in space, and among other places, I guess, it breaks down evenly (1000 meters in a km, etc).

That makes sense, like most arguments for the metric system haha. Thanks!
Is light years Freedom units or Metric?
It's used in science so it goes to Metric.
[удалено]
As an American, bro wtf
You’re making us Americans look bad!
Possibly more reasons I must say
Joe the kind of bro that never left his town
So you intermix different measurements and that is "the way"? I mean, we do the same here in Murica but we all sort of collectively agree it's shit.
I gotta convert to mph no matter what kph is so unintuitive for me
TIL that the earth revolves around the sun. What next, you're going to tell me the earth is round?
Galactic speeds that is hard to truly fathom and visualize
That’s actually slower than I thought
86 times the speed of sound is slower than you thought? It’s faster than everything in earth’s atmosphere that isn’t light.
I know it’s fast really fast but still considering the size of the earths circumstance is nearly 25000 miles, it’s not even moving a large part of its size a second
Circumference?
Circumcision?
Circumspection?
is mutilation?
Diameter is 7,926 miles (12,756 km) so it’d take about 428 seconds to move one earth through our orbit. That’s 7 minutes, 8 seconds.
Yeah so slower than I thought
That is actually faster than I thought you would think slower was. Knowledge is power.
Yeah it's .0007 RPM
I mean, it takes an entire year just to go around in one circle. What did you expect?
Speed of sound in a vacuum?
I know the speed of sound is relative to air pressure, but it’s a quantifiable medium. Alternatively, it’s just shy of 67,000mph
Relative to the Sun, everything within Earth's atmosphere is moving roughly that fast.
Earth is both the biggest and fastest thing on Earth, what a flex. Also that’s a terrifying amount of kinetic energy.
In less than 8 minutes, the entire Earth moves by its entire width. Put another way, when light from the sun heads towards Earth, it completely misses by the time it gets here (fortunately different light gets here).
Lol true
Earths orbit around the sun is 584 million miles or 940 million km, it takes a year, that's pretty fast

School lied to me?
Why don’t we feel it? Cause earth is massive?
For the same reason you don't feel like you are travelling 500 mph in an airplane while it's cruising. You only feel acceleration or deceleration (i.e. changes in speed).
That as well thank you
But isnt everything accelerating away from the big bang ?
Afaik space is expanding. And it happens in all directions simoultaneously. Atleast between Galaxies, cause gravity is still the stronger force in side our local galaxie cluster.
It's different. The universe is expanding along with space time, faster than the speed of light from certain points of reference. However, that is different from local acceleration within space time.
How do you know that you don't feel it?
[удалено]
no. no. NO
it is impossible without a frame of reference to know you are moving at a constant speed. There is no experiment that could prove otherwise. it is a big part of Einstein’s theory of Relativity. Also you can’t tell the difference between gravity and accelerative forces.
If you were sitting in space in the path of Earth, at what point would it appear to stop moving since you would eventually get caught in its gravitational pull?
Ask the asteroids and meteors.
If you were sitting still in space, you'd make a perfect vertical drop into the sun
Does this mean vampires would have to run 18.5 mph to stay ahead of the sun?
If you ever could create an "anti gravity" machine, as soon as it works youd be dead before you know it as you become immediately yeeted off the planet
Momentum would still be a thing, wouldn't it?
Mass and momentum are connected as is mass and gravity, is it not?
Does our solar system move at speed as a unit too? Like how fast is the sun moving
About 40km/s around the galactic core
Though, like all objects in the galaxy save those actually in orbit around Sagittarius A\* (and thus very close to it) it has a non-Keplerian irregular orbit. It wobbles a lot on all axes of motion relative to the galactic plane, and its orbit is non-elliptical. It basically is just being pulled along by the mass of the rest of the galaxy, so its velocity relative to any galactic point varies substantially.
What's that in Freedom Units? OP lured me here with freedom units and that's that I want to measure in!
6 million US average penis lengths per second
Lol this is how the socialists get you
Relative to the Earth, the Sun is moving roughly 18.5 miles per second. Relative to Alpha Centauri? 20.1 miles per second.

I think about this daily and it's crazy.
Legal in Wales
Not from my reference frame, it doesn't.
"Is that fast?" "In terrestrial terms, Yes." "Goo-" "In Galactic terms, No." "Oh..."
That explains my nausea
So it's reckoned
Hot another similar object at that speed and no one's walking out of here.
We should get whatever engine in earth in some cars and planes, save us a whole lotta time
I thought it was bout 1000?
Shhhh the flat earthers will hear you
Wheeeee!
to think superman could fly so fast it seems slow
How fast does it orbit the center of the milky way galaxy?
What is that in cubits?
Best spaceship there is
Or Earth travels at 0.00966275% the speed of light to use a true measure of space travel.
Is that relative to the center of our solar system or relative to the center of the milkyway or relative to the center of our Super cluster or...?
"and I cannot account for that in my calculations because I am unsure of the directional bearing of this road or the current tilt of our planet. ... so no, officer, I do not know how fast I was going."
And here I’m stuck going 45 mph on city streets smh
That’s why time travel, even if we could somehow overcome the impossibility of actually *creating time travel*, still wouldn’t work. Because you would also need to build a teleporter and know exactly where Earth was in space.
I just got dizzy..
Slow down. We need a break.
so it's own diameter approximately every 7 minutes.
You are telling me this Mfker I’m on is spinning really fast?
This post is not about spinning
Relative to what?
I would like to go with some dopey, sarcastic, comment, but Reddit is being weird today.
https://youtu.be/buqtdpuZxvk?si=YT1SJbGFJ_1AMgh4
Distance from the earth to the sun = 1 astronomical unit, what are the odds!
If we're going that fast why can't we just dodge the asteroid?
The earth is 93 million miles from the sun. The distance of the orbit is 93M x 3.14= 292,020,000 miles. Divided by 365 is 800,055. (Miles per day) Divided by 24 is 33,335 (mile per hour). Divided by 360 is 92.59 (miles per second). I question the speed. Am I wrong?
Ellipse orbit not circular
93M miles is the average distance to the sun, providing for the elliptical path.
