I think they were talking about the “spinning” around the sun, not axially.
Axially, at the maximum (equator), the rotation speed is believed closer to 1000mph.
Well, not nothing but small!
Also there is no force “pulling” us to the earth at all. The force pushes us to the earth, and it is called weight!
Not really. 66k is pretty darn fast, though I can appreciate that on a large enough circle (the presumed orbit around the sun over the course of a year) that may not cause an extreme acceleration (though still a measurable one, which strangely cannot be and is not measured...)
There isn’t any “mass” outside of equation. That’s why scales measure weight instead! There is no “mass” to measure (nor gravitation which also cannot be measured). It is NOT coincidence that when you combine the mathematical contrivances of mass and gravitation, they return to the real (and measured) weight they began (and were measured) as!
I don’t! I’m saying that we don’t do those things, and that is literally “astronomical fiction”. If we did, we could measure such motion (through interferometry for one)! Because we can’t (and haven’t), it is most reasonable and scientific (emperical) to conclude that there is no such motion. That is what michelson-morely actually established :(. Astronomy is barely science at all - it’s merely a pastime for rich dilettantes. That’s why it has produced virtually nothing of scientific value in millennia!
