No, it doesn't swim through space, it's turtles all the way down.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I agree. With as fast as the earth is supposedly moving I should be able to jump in the air and make a full court dunk as the other side of the court rotates to catch up to me.
It would be nice to skip across the country though in a short time.

And of course, even a rudimentary understanding of a little thing we call "relative motion" will illutstrate why that's not the case.

I'm with the professor. That just sounds made up.

you would think the fact that we don't end up squashed at the back of a plane/car would throw some doubt on that train of thought

Dosn't a sniper have to factor in earth's rotation on really long distances? If the planet does not rotate, the bullet should miss him if he has the guts to prove his ideas this way.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

John Byrne used that principle in explaining his Canadian hero, Weapon Alpha/Guardian's speed.
Quote: Guardian could cause the battle-suit computers to trigger and release gravitons, canceling the Earth's rotation relative to himself, propelling himself forwards at up to about 1000 miles per hour (at the equator). This effect will suspend his positioning relative to the Earth's electromagnetic field while the planet rotated, allowing him to travel West at high speed depending on his latitude positioning.

heh.
That made no sense then, and it still makes no sense now -- but then it was in a comic, where precious little makes sense.
That's also why there's a difference of an hour between flying to and from China (The "experts" are completely wrong on this).
When you're flying against the rotation of the Earth, you actually move slower, because the atmosphere is pushing the other way; when you go with the rotation of the Earth, you go faster, because the "wind" (which is not a wind) is behind you.

Well you know, it goes both way! 
It just much simpler to imagine the earth as rotating around the sun to describe the whole universe!
Apart from that tiny detail, it's just as true that the sun is orbiting the earth!

So (for real) an employee came by to ask why the English (and their colonies) still wear white powder wigs in court - and what's up with all the men of distinction wearing them for who knows how long.
The answer . . . and I love it . . . will keep you laughing at this laughable custom of dusty pomposity:
.
.
.
. . . wait for it . . .
.
.
.
.
.
.
Syphilis ![^]

.

out of respect for the king who wore a wig because he was losing his hair to the Eastern Gift to Europe.

so, next time you speak with your barrister - remember to wash well if he shakes your hand.

Hey, Americans eat turkey to celebrate the fact that they had to all but give up their religion and run cap in hand to beg from heathen savages.

And that's somehow relevant?
In my opinion, "cap in hand" is certainly a better situation then "CLAP in ....".

Sure.
It's more proof that a lot of traditions are based on bollocks.

Yeah, well, they didn't have antibiotics, and they were stuck in stuffy rooms with the dregs of society.
I don't blame them for wanting a bit of disinfectant powder in the air around their heads.

So I applied for a job working on the Java stack, yea I know, and they came back with a question about how much C++ I've done. Well I used it some 5-10 years ago but not much and never to any great depth. Great, can you fill in this C++ test then...
If I had any hair, I'd pull it out.
