You don’t feel speed !!!

[Quasar44]

The earth is rotating several hundred miles an hour and we travel 17 miles per second around the sun
Nobody notices this crap because it’s constant

What you do notice is acceleration !!
Big changes in speed or direction is what you feel
When you slam on your breaks ?? What happens ?? Your body falls forwards

When you accelerate in a car - your body falls back

 

[itfitzme]

True. Except if the wind is blowing in your face, then you feel it. Or you hit a wall. The kinetic energy is E=(1/2) m V^2. where m is the mass and V is the velocity.

More fascinating is that when you fall, you don't feel acceleration. You are weightless. There is no gravity as a "force".

It is when you are standing on the ground that you feel the acceleration of gravity under your feet. That gives you weight.

What's going on there?

Yes , you are weightless in orbit as you have super fast sideways speed .
You are weightless above water as you float

You may feel acceleration until you reach terminal speed
You could fall for days but the ground will get you

 

[Tax Man]

In proportion to the earth rotation or it's orbit around the sun Humans are so insignificant that there is no transfer of motion to Humans.

You aren't weightless above water, you are buoyant. The water it provided the upward force against your body just as the ground is providing the upward force when you are standing. The difference is that the force when standing is concentrated in a small area. In water it is spread out over the entire surface, well the bottom half. You feel less force per square inch or less pressure.

You don't feel acceleration. Ask people who free fall. You weightless.

Here, watch this, the zero G airplane.



If you still aren't sure, jump off a cliff. Take a scale with you so you can measure your weight. Make sure it is a very high one cliff. I guarantee you will have no weight on the scale, feel no acceleration until you hit the ground.

Brian Greene demonstrates this well in an interview with Colbert.

You are not weightless above water. When you are in water, the water is pressing up against your body. You are laying of a perfect waterbed. When you stand on the ground, all your weight is concentrated on the bottom of your feet, spread out on a small area. There is a high pounds per square inch. When you lay down, you feel less pressure on your body, less pounds per square inch. The ground is flat and your body has more contact points but the ground doesn't follow the curves of your body. When you lay on a mattress, the mattress conforms to the curves of your body better so there is more contact area and less pressure, less pounds per square inch. A water bed is even better and conforms to your body better, meaning even less pressure, less pounds per square inch. Floating in water is a perfect water bed. The pressure is spread out perfectly about your body. You don't "feel" is because it is the same everywhere and a very small about on pounds per square inch, a small amount of pressure, like holding a feather in your hand. You still have weight. If you weight the bath tub before you got in then after you got in, it will weigh more after you get it because you are not weightless.

Yes, in orbit, You are weightless because you are following a geodesic, a curvature in space-time created by the mass of the Earth. In empty space, far away from any planet, far away from any source of gravity, you are weightless regardless of any velocity. You are in a constant state of freefall. This is what an orbit is, a constant state of freefall. You are constantly falling towards the Earth at the same time moving tangent to the surface of the Earth. You fall a little bit towards the Earth and at the same time, move sideways which moves you away from the Earth. Together, the two velocities lead to an orbit.

The earth is rotating several hundred miles an hour and we travel 17 miles per second around the sun
Nobody notices this crap because it’s constant

What you do notice is acceleration !!

Yep. A body in motion stays in motion until acted upon by an external force. - Sir Isaac Newton, basically.

 

[CarlinAnnArbor]

The earth is rotating several hundred miles an hour

Try 1,000 mph. We are 24,000 miles in circumference and we do a complete rotation in 24 hours.

It’s only that fast as the equator
Our rotation is not exactly 24 hours

False.
We as humans have always observed the Sun, Moons, and Stars and calculated our course on Earth in relation to them.

That is a completely different subject

 

[Quasar44]

Earth more or less rotates at 24 hrs but the day is based when the sun appears in the sky and that varies

 

[Quasar44]

You are weightless above water
If you weighted yourself it would be close to zero

 

[justinacolmena]

That is a completely different subject

If the ancient Romans believed in different Gods and ascribed different meanings to our course in life in relation to the sun, moon, and stars then at any rate it was the Jews who committed spiritual fornication with different Gods or else the Roman Pagans who partook of Jewish Gematria and Kabbalah who enforced the cutting of the flesh of newborn male infants on such and such a day according to the times and the seasons.

 

[watchingfromafar]

You are weightless above water as you float

I feel the water displacement of the water i am displacing.
The weight of a cubic foot of seawater is 67 pounds.
I weigh 165 pounds.
165/67 = 2.46 cubic feet.
I do indeed feel it.
Or so it seems -

Are you talking about circumcision-?

Just a bit confused.

Whatever the hell body parts those crooks cut off from their most defenseless patients.

Sight will have be restored to the blind under penalty of death, and every missing tooth avenged sevenfold.

I don't have patience for that crap.
