so we're on a great big ball that's spinning..
ignoring the speed which the whole thing is hurtlung through space and concentrating on teh rotational speed only, at the equator you are traveling a lot faster than you are in the UK, and we're traveling faster than someone further north is.. so if you stand exactly on the point where the earth's axis of rotation is, you're not traveling at all..
what happens? how come we don't feel it?
if we could travel fast enough from the pole to the equator, would we feel ourselves accelerating?
