Very important fact, that comes up in hundreds of situations . . . . . We never feel motion.

We only feel changes in motion.

Example: You can read or sleep very well in a car going 70 miles an hour, as long as the

car doesn't speed up, slow down, turn, or hit a rough spot. And have you ever been on

an airliner, cruising along at 400 miles an hour and reading a book or taking a nap ?

It makes no difference whether you're moving fast or slow, horizontally or vertically.

You feel nothing until either the speed or the direction changes.

On the spinning earth, you're moving almost 1,040 miles an hour at the equator, or

730 miles an hour at the latitude of Chicago. You don't feel the speed in the direction

east along the ground, because it never changes. You do feel the force it takes to

keep you moving in a circle at that speed ... the force you call your "weight".

What happens if the world stop spinning?

If the world stopped spinning we would have a very unlikely chance or survival. It depends on what your asking. If the world stops spinning but still revolves around the sun. Or if the world stopped moving all together. There are many answers. If the world stopped spinning but still revolved around the sun then we would have seasons like we do now, but we would either have light or day for 6 months each. It would take a lot of adapting to. So if the world stopped moving all together. Then we wouldn't have seasons. We would either have light or darkness for the rest of our lives, and we would either be in the unbareable cold or the blistering heat.
