Moving damn fast, through the galaxy and is that not one more nail in the coffin of timetravel? You'd have to meet the exact point in space and time.

đ”Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour It's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned A sun that is the source of all our power The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see Are moving at a million miles a day In an outer spiral arm at forty thousand miles an hour Of the galaxy we call the Milky Wayđ”

So if the sun is just moving through the galaxy bringing us all along for this ride, how are we always seeing the same star constellations? Wouldnât we be seeing new âgalaxy spaceâ if that were the case?

Really enlightened to see the vastness of space
Our earth is but a speck of grain of sand in the great Sahara if analogy of space to Sahara is used

Also, the entire solar system oscillates up and down as it races through the galaxy.

yes faster than a speeding bullet and more powerful than a locomotive. But not to good at leaping.

Speed is entirely relative. Is your frame of reference the sun, another star, the Galaxy, our Local Group? All different.

And they are all moving in relation to one another while also moving along with the movement of the galaxy itself.

So wait a minuteâŠâŠ..first you say the space between the Earth and Moon is large enough to fit ALL planets in the solar system between. But then go to state the space between Neptune and Uranus is large enough to fit Mercury-Saturn. So then the space between us and the moon is greater than the space between those two yet they were framing it as though that space was the most impressive.

That last part of the video is misleading, we're only inclined about 60°, not 90° as depicted.

Not particularly mind blowing, everyone older than 6 knows that the distances between celestial bodies are very large. This is like being told that the sky is blue. It should also be fairly obvious that sun is moving since literlaly everything else is, ofc orbital mechanics apply at a galactic scale.

The earthâs gravity isnât that strong to cover a distance to hold the moon that far away. If it were, it would have atleast several other moons in orbit like Jupiter. This is slop

'We're all moving faster than a speeding bullet''
Average bullet speed is 1600 km/h
Our solar system is travelling at 828,000 km/h
So no shit we're moving faster than bullet. Roughly 500 times faster.
