Currently where you are is on a huge globe with a relatively thin crust of stone, containing fire in its bowels, rotating on its own slightly tilted axis at 1,000 miles per hour in an easterly direction while simultaneously traveling in orbit around an enormous ball of burning hydrogen, 93,000,000 miles away at 66,000 miles per hour. Thats 66,000 miles per hour, or nineteen miles per second, which is much faster that youve maybe ever imagined, and means that you will be traveling nearly 60,000,000 miles this coming year.Beauty is, you dont have to imagine it, you can feel it instead. And if you want to know what its like, simply stop. Be still, and in that stillness, whatever you are feeling in your belly: thats it. this is what it feels like to go 66,000 miles per hour while spinning at one thousand.
