I thought this effect was seen In the difference in time of an astronauts watch In retuning home from space (because we are rotating and he wasn’t our time was slower?) If that’s correct, going on that notion, the earth rotates at 1000mph, we rotate around the sun at 67,000mph, In addition, our solar system–Earth and all–whirls around the center of our galaxy at 490,000mph, 1000 + 67,000 + 490,000 = 558,000mph right, so surely, this means that, from an outside observer, who isn’t travelling at these speeds (Within some kind of inertia bubble) we must be moving very very slowly? This notion keeps me awake at night and I really would like someone who knows what they’re talking about to explain this to me because I’m a cabbage. Please do Correct me if I’m completely wrong.
Can you intelligent people help me understand.
I know nothing of practical physics and mearly have a very keen interest in these things and the wonder and uncertainty of quantum physics (I could talk about it until I start stiming) 🤣
The reason I ask this is because maybe these crafts that people are witnessing aren’t moving at incredible speed maybe they are moving at normal speed It’s just us that are moving slowly, hell maybe we’re even moving slow enough that entities can exist around us but mainly just stay out of sight because we’re moving so slowly? 🤷♂️
Like I say I’m probably completely wrong it’s just a thought I’ve had for a long time
