How fast are you moving right now?

You think you are still. But the tectonic plate under your chair is creeping along at about 2 inches per year, carrying you with it.

The Earth is spinning. At the equator its surface races eastward at about 1,000 mph, and you are spinning right along with it.

That spinning Earth is also hurtling around the Sun at 66,000 mph, dragging you through space with it.

And the Sun itself is drifting toward the star Vega at 43,000 mph, taking the whole solar system — and you — along.

Meanwhile the Sun is orbiting the centre of the Milky Way at 483,000 mph, sweeping you around the galaxy.

The Milky Way and the Andromeda galaxy are falling toward each other at 225,000 mph, closing the gap with you inside.

And the whole Milky Way is streaming through the cosmos at 1,300,000 mph, carrying everything — including you — with it.

Measured from the furthest galaxy we can see, the expansion of the universe pulls you away faster than light, from the furthest known galaxy.

And if there is a multiverse, who knows how fast it is all moving — ??? mph.

But here is the twist. Speed is relative. Relative to yourself, sitting right there, you have not moved at all.
