This is one of the scientific facts whihc I keep thnking about
We know that average radius of Earth is 6,400 km
And that earth revolves around itself in 24 hrs
the cicumference becomes 40,228 kms
this means if i am standing on the equator, i am moving at a speed of 1,676 kmph or 465 m/s
Did anyone think about this?

Yes I thought of it. And I think it is one very strong reason to start believing in God. One can immediately understand the complexity of the universe and that it cannot exist without a creator.

Yeah, I realized that one day when I was thinking to myself as a child.
The part that surprises me the most is that it is significantly faster than the speed of sound.
