Why Don't We Feel Earth Spinning?

Hey guys! We’re now live on Spotify🎧 Listen here: https://open.spotify.com/show/5rqQFYd... The ground under your chair is sweeping east right now, faster than sound, faster than a bullet, and you feel nothing. For two thousand years that stillness was taken as proof the Earth could not move. So where does the feeling of a thousand-mile-an-hour spin go? Tonight we take the slow way to the answer: an old objection about falling stones, Galileo's windowless cabin, a pendulum swinging in Paris, and the quiet principle underneath them all. Get comfortable and let this slow walk through the physics of a turning world keep you company tonight. Subscribe to Sundown Science if you enjoy taking the long way around the universe.
