So this is WAY beyond me but I had a thought a couple of months ago and maybe you could explain this to me.
Our perception of things is affected by our speed. So what is the ralative net affect of the idea that people on earth are all moving at the same speed (or close enough). But we are on a rotating planet, going around a sun, that is moving around a galaxy, that is moving through a universe that has several galaxies.
As too what exactly do I mean? I already said this was WAY beyond me!
