Only if it accelerated. If in constant motion, speed is irrelevant. And Thismeintiel, just how fast is it rotating if scientists have it wrong and how the hell did time speed up or the shape of the Earth change to make this happen? |
They calculate it at 1000 miles an hour. Reason being that at the equator, you would have to go that fast to get around the whole earth. There's one big problem with that. The second you move past the equator, that goes down. And it goes way down if you're near the actual axis. So, to believe the earth rotates that quickly, then the earth would have to rotate at different speeds, which is impossible without it destroying itself.
Now, picture this experiment. Say you have a metal rod that you mark with a dot. You attach it to a motor that you have move so slowly that it takes that rod 24 hrs to rotate to where that dot is in the same spot. Now, you pierce a styrofoam ball on the rod. You could mark it with a dot and it will take the same 24 hrs for it to come back to the same spot. Now, you could have a ball of any size, including the size of earth, on that rod and it's going to take the same 24 hrs for it to rotate. It's that rod, or axis, that determines the speed at which it rotates, not the size of the object.
