I don't know where I'm going, but I'm on my way.: How Fast Are You Moving When You Are Sitting Still?
Well lets consider the basics. You and I are on a planet that orbits the sun at 66,939.97 miles an hour
Not only that, but the earth also spins on its axis at a speed of 1000 miles per hour
As we are spinning on our axis and…
Well.. If you want to technical, to calculate motion requires a point of view to measure from. If standing on the earth means still and you measuring how fast a train is moving away from you, it would be 90 miles an hour. You must have a point of view from outside our galaxy to calculate our “actual” speed compared to another galaxy, which is really moving away from us along with everything else not in our galaxy in the universe because of the expansion from the big bang..
So. You COULD calculate how fast we are moving by looking another galaxy, however since we will never be able to reach another galaxy in the foreseeable future to gain that point of view, we cannot calculate that speed.
