A stupid question

I know its a stupid question but I cant get it out of my mind.

If your nose is running, is that considered exercise?

If the earth rotates at 1,037.5646 miles per hour and you run at five miles an hour does that mean you are actually moving at 1,042 miles an hour?

Depends on what direction you are running, towards, or away from the direction of the rotation.

Towards the rotation add its speed, like on a treadmill, away from the rotation subtract its speed, you cannot keep up, and overtake it.

Faster. You forgot that Earth is rotating around the Sun and the Sun is rotating around the center of the Galaxy.

Asked my AI:

The linear velocity of a person on Earth depends on their position relative to Earth’s rotational and orbital movement through space.

  1. Due to Earth’s rotation:
  • The Earth rotates once every 24 hours, with a circumference at the equator of about 40,075 kilometers (24,901 miles).
  • A person standing on the equator would have a rotational velocity of approximately 1,674 kilometers per hour (1,040 miles per hour).
  • As you move closer to the poles, this velocity decreases because the distance around Earth’s axis (the effective circumference) becomes smaller.
  1. Due to Earth’s orbit around the Sun:
  • Earth orbits the Sun at an average speed of about 107,000 kilometers per hour (66,600 miles per hour). This applies to everyone on Earth.
  1. The Sun’s orbit within the Milky Way:
  • The Sun, along with the Earth, orbits the center of the Milky Way galaxy at a speed of roughly 828,000 kilometers per hour (514,000 miles per hour).

When you combine these speeds, the exact linear velocity of a person is highly complex and depends on the time of day, location on Earth, and additional factors related to our motion through the galaxy. But at any given moment, you’re traveling through space much faster than you probably feel! Cool, right?

I was all set to say “There is no such things as a stupid question”.
But… :nauseated_face:

The way I remember my Drill Sergeant saying it, “There is no such thing as a stupid question, but there are a lot of inquisitive idiots!”

I always thought that the only really stupid question was the one you were afraid to ask. Go ahead and ask. You may look the fool but, at least, you’ll know the answer.

If wine is just grape juice does that mean that beer is wheat and barley juice?

Just an uninformed guess, Vance Vs Newsom. But in 4 years, a lot of things can happen and others can come forward as front runners.
