What a wild and wonderful world this is

Yes, indeed it is !

“Single acts of tyranny may be ascribed to the accidental opinion of the day, but a series of oppressions begun at a distinguished period, unalterable through every change of ministers, too plainly prove a deliberate, systematic plan of reducing us to slavery”.

Thomas Jefferson

Cool. It's like the sun is a spaceship, collecting planets to drag along with it on its travels.

It is vital to understand that there is no truth without discernment and no wisdom without the truth. What then is “faith” but an effort to confound truth and wisdom?

that was one interesting theory... At first I was very cynical... then after seeing the explanation I am now thinking, wondering...what is the possibility of this theory being the more correct world view...

Neat stuff wudidiz

7. So what's the total?

• To determine the total effect of all these different motions, we need to measure our speed versus some "stationary" object similar to how a car's speed is measured relative to a "stationary" road.
• However, every star, galaxy, even distant pulsars and quasars have some kind of motion relative to the Earth
• For a long time scientists thought it was not possible to directly measure the direction and speed of Earth's motion
• Then scientists discovered the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation - electromagnetic radiation that originated from the Big Bang
• At first, this radiation seemed to arrive at the Earth from all directions at the edge of the observable universe with a constant value
• Recently, better instruments (on satellites) have been able to measure not only slight differences in this radiation from place to place, but also the "Doppler shift" which is caused by the Earth moving towards one part of it and away from the part "behind" us
• The "Doppler shift" causes some of it to appear "redder" (red-shifted behind us) and some of it to appear "bluer" (blue-shifted in front of us)
• This can be seen in the all-sky image below:
• 
  

• Finally, we could measure our speed relative to something that was so far away it could give a reasonable answer
• According to the Astronomy Picture of the Day at http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap050508.html "The map indicates that the Local Group moves at about 600 kilometers per second relative to this primordial radiation in the direction of approximately 10h Right Ascension and -20° Declination" (a point in the constellation Hydra between Sextans and Antlia).
• 600 km per second works out to 2,160,000 km/hr (1,342,000 mi/hr)!
• Yes - over 2 million km/hr! (but this is still only about 0.2% of the speed of light)
• And you thought you were sitting still?!
