For speed on Earth we can use the surface of the Earth as a reference point for speed, and in our own solar system we can use the Sun, but at what speed is the Sun moving? And in reference to what? And what does that make of the speed and direction of motion of the Earth? And us? So are we really moving? or is everything moving around us in reference to our own perception?<br /><br /> omnistegan (http://omnistegan.videosift.com) http://www.videosift.com/video/Where-is-the-center-of-the-universe-The-Bad-Astronomer#comment-394534 Mon, 05 May 2008 14:52:40 -0700
