Ever wanted to know how fast we are moving? Standing still, we are actually moving - as the earth rotates - at a speed of about 1,656 kph...
Strap on your seat belt... The earth moves around the sun at roughly 108,000 kph... The solar system orbits the centre of our galaxy at a brisk 792,000 kph...
Fast enough for you? Our galaxy moves through the universe at a a blistering speed of 3,600,000 kph... So, in the grand scheme of things, when we are standing still for just one second, we have journeyed 100,000 kilometres through the universe... Cool....

Herein ends today's lesson...

May your journey be free of incident.

Live long and prosper.

1. From what point? According to "official" science, there is no universal point of reference.
2. I have heard theories that "the universe is expanding" and it is at a superluminal speed (which is impossible to achieve).
3. At this speed, time dilation, which supposedly exists, would already be important. Has it been included?

Undecided, these scientists ...

4. How did you do it? Because 3,600,000 km / h is 1,000 km / s, not 100,000
