No wonder we've been feeling a little dizzy...

Feeling a little dizzy. You should. Even though you are sitting here reading this, (Mwah ha ha ha we know where you are!) you are also out on the end of what is called the Local arm, or Orion arm of the Milky Way Galaxy. Living in the suburbs of one of the larger galaxies known to exist. If you feel like you are moving sometimes when you are sitting still it might be because our Earth is moving through space at about 67,000 Miles per hour. But don't sweat the small stuff, because our Galaxy is moving through space at an estimated 1.3 Million miles per hour. If you are 30 years old you have traveled over 450 billion miles. Seems like we should be getting somewhere by now. But the distance between our galaxy and the nearest neighbor is about 25,000 light years away. (The Canus Major Dwarf galaxy, which our Galaxy is currently devouring.) Which means that if we were to survive until we reached that galaxy. (that's if any of it is left by the time we got there). We would be 150 Trillion years old (a very rough estimate). Of course our sun would long since have become a black dwarf. (No it won't supernova, it doesn't have enough mass. Although who knows what will happen in the ensuing 5 billion years.)Just thought we should point that out. Going to try to make it to the kitchen now to do the dishes. (Maybe hanging on to the furniture will help.) Good luck to all my fellow speed demons, hang on tight. Ciao for now.
