When returning to earth, Orion had 5.5 times more speed than the fastest manned aircraft ever (North American X-15 in picrelated). That is pretty mad don't you think
>>16957354We are moving at 67,000 mph relative to the sun right now.
>>16957357This seems to be true.We're traveling roughly:1,000 mph rotating about the Earth's axis67,000 mph orbiting around the Sun483,000 mph spinning around the Milky Way1.3 million mph moving through the universe because of the Big Bang or Great Attraction or something
>>16957463Fun fact. In 5200 years the sun has rotated aroung the galaxy as many degrees as the hour hand of a clock has rotated in one second.
>>16957559In galactic years it seems the sun hasn't even celebrated its 21st birthday yet.But it also appears that 21 is considered middle age for our sun.
Due to lunar tides decelerating the Earth's rotation, in 50,000 years, a day on Earth is expected to be one SI second longer than it is today. To compensate, either a leap second will have to be added to the end of every day, or the length of the day will have to be officially lengthened by one SI second.
>>16958548In 50,000 years there won’t be any living organism on earth that needs to know precisely what time it is, cockroaches and dust mites don’t have to report to an office every day.Humans don’t even really need to know what time it is down to the minute & second. You can just look where the sun is in the sky and say “shit, I’ve only got a couple more hours of daylight to get these crops harvested.” Measuring time down to minutes and seconds is a purely jewish invention.
>>16958555i suspect you wouldn't be able to make this post if humans never got past time keeping based off vibes
