As We Orbit the Sun We are All Falling at a Terrific Rate

"If the Earth travels 584 million miles a year, you can divide that by 365.2564 to get an approximation of how far it travels in a day, and then divide again by 24 to find out how far it travels in an hour, then divide by 60 to find how far it goes in a minute, and finally, divide by 60 one more time to find how far it goes in a second. The Earth! It's revolving around the Sun at a nausea-inducing 18.5 miles per second!
I am tryiing to give you some important information. Can you stop looking at yourself?"
"I'm not, I am just..."
"Preening."
"Do you think that Botox stuff would be alright,or is too risky?"
"Will you shut up. Do you know what you should be thinking of?"
"Oh don't start on your philosophy claptrap."
"You looking at yourself sitting...as if you are the centre of the universe. Do you realise something?"
"Tell me, my whiskers can't wait."
"As the Earth orbits we are very slowly being pulled in towards the Sun,"
"So why don't we just fall in to the Sun."
"Gravity. Don't worry there is no danger of us being sucked into the sun at least not for a billion yeats or so - - plenty of time to have your botox treatment."


"Here is an image for you to look at as you look in the mirror that is what is really going on."



"Fascinating."
"You are not even stationary as you sit there thinking you are the centre of things.
"Bollocks."
"You are not, we are not stationary in fact...in fact we are falling at a terrific rate, it is a misapprehension
made by you and cats all over the world that we are stationary."
"Oh yeah,something is holding the world up "
"And what might that be."
"Top Cat, you know, God."
"Give me a break. You are not stationary as you sit there, the fact is you are falling, we all are and at a terrific speed as we orbit round the sun. Every year we go pi times the radius of the Earths orbit."
"What is pi times' when it is at home."
"Lets just say it extremely fast . We are falling at this terrific speed."
"I find that really disturbing..."
"I know, I am sorry, it is a very counter intuitive notion."
"Can you leave me now?"
"What are you going to do?"
"Just sit here and be still."
