Yes you are, but I was talking about travelling in speed in addition to your present earth speed. It's just like driving in a car.

Look, just forget it. Nevermind. I didn't post that garbage to start an argument. I just thought a little food for thought would be fun to chew on and get the juices thinking about what might and might not be possible.

Seriously, forget about it.

Well here is some food for thought:

Earth's diameter: 12756 kilometers (25,000 miles)

Therefore if the earth rotated at 66,000 miles per hour it would rotate 3 times in one hour. therefore there would be light and dark 3 times in the space of 60 minutes: aka 3 days in 1 hour.

Earth moves around the sun at 67,000 mph.

Earth rotates at just over 1000 mph.

Okay, I guess my little example was a bit too simplified. Assume the earth spins at the equator at 66,000 mph as I say it does and you take off and accelerate to a significant rate (let's say 100,000 mph) on the speedometer (remember you are already travelling at the same speed of the earth just by standing on it, but now you're travelling over and above that speed [by twice as much]). Again you would... Ah nevermind.

Ah, you caught yourself in your own words. You see, a plane does exactly that. A plane is already travelling at the 1000 mph that the earth is rotating at, and then it travels about 300 to 600 mph faster than that while in the air in order to travel.

And do planes time travel? Not any plane that I know of so far...

Don't worry, Lucky. Even though you might be wrong in this instance I still give you major props on having a beautiful asian wife .
