In the UK you're spinning at 600mph, and the equator over 1000mph, even while sitting down.

Because everything is spinning at the same time around you, you don't feel a thing. Thankfully!

so why don't we fall off?

It takes a few pints before you fall off it.

Oooo that makes me think about on old fable.

There was a king once who got fed up of beheading jesters who didn't make him laugh. He was bored.

He said if anybody can make me a game or entertain me long enough I'll give them anything they want, and I have everything.

A mathematician created the game we now know as chess and took the game to him and played the game. The King was pleased and the maths guy kept his head.

The King said what would you like?

The maths guy, knowing the Kings lust for beheading people he didn't agree with, was wise to say....

On the first square on the chess board I want one grain of rice for the people in the village. On the second square I want double the first, so two grains, on the third square I want double again, so 4 grains, and so on. Until the board is full.

The King laughed and said I'll do that. The maths guy left. Knowing he will be delivering rice for all time.

By the time you get to the last square when you double each time; you deliver more grains of rice than has ever been grown.

There's another version of the story where the King clocked his trick and said I'll deliver them as soon as you've counted them out, so the guy died counting rice.

Not sure if either are true but it made my staff think about doubling sales for the business before now. And they didn't half worry about counting rice for a living lol

A thimble full of matter from a neutron star would weigh on the earth around the same as Mount Everest.

 

[Dan]

If a proton was the size of the solar system. A neutron would be the size of a golf ball.

Matter as we know it is made mainly of empty space!
