5/2 Is the CSUA office moving?
\_ Yes. Although the CSUA office appears to be located in a static
position on the surface of the earth, the earth's surface is in
constant motion as the very thin plate of rock the office rests on
shifts across a giant ball of magma. The earth itself is spinning
at roughly 24 mph. It is also moving around the nearest star, we
call The Sun, at a rate of one revolution per approximately 365
days. At roughly 93 million miles in a slightly elliptical orbit
we leave it to the reader (or google) to find out how fast that is.
The Sun is moving through the Milky Way galaxy once per 64 million
years while the galaxy itself is on a collision course with another
nearby galaxy. But don't worry about that. Long before this
galaxy collides with another thereby destroying the CSUA office,
the molecules of the office itself will be reabsorbed into the
Great Soup Of Stuff that the universe is made of and long forgotten
by the survivors of any current species.
