The earth is rotating bro. It is not static. that’s literally why there are jets streams and prevailing wind patterns. If you could actually use a rotating body as a static reference frame, the stars in the sky would be spinning around your reference frame every 24 hours. Any star doesn’t have to be very far away before it needs to move faster than the speed of light to complete it’s rotation (which is not possible). Go spin a basketball. I promise you the 2 sides are moving in opposite directions from any reference frame that is not spinning (bc reference frames by definition are not spinning)

I see how you don’t understand reference frames. From any reference point, the 2 sides of the globe are moving differently. If you consider 1 side stationary, the other side of the earth is moving 3200 km/hr relative to you. If you’re at the core both sides are moving in opposite directions. I think you could teleport from one pole to the other and be ok. Reference frames by definition cannot be rotating.

The surface of the earth at the equator is moving at ~1600 k/hr in order to rotate fully in a day. If you teleport to the opposite side of the planet, you’ll still be moving at that speed but the surface there is moving in the opposite direction. You will now be having a very bad day.

Really really good at cutting things in half though. I think it still counts as a super power

- Comment on What would it mean for the world if America was confident they developed a technology that would act as a fool prove deterrent from nuclear attacks what would that mean for the rest of the world? 5 weeks ago:
The point of bringing up the treaty is just to point out that the result of the situation you are describing was so scary that for about 30 years the 2 biggest nuclear powers agreed not to do it. That is all to say that one answer to your question is " US and Russia pretty much saw your scenario resulting in inevitable full scale nuclear war"

US and Russia used to have a treaty against either country developing anti-ballistic missiles. The idea was that if 1 party trusted their ABMs too much, they would no longer care about a counter attack, and that would undermine the MAD doctrine.
- Comment on Do you need to adjust your speedometer if you change the size of your tires? 4 months ago:
No, i stand by my original statement. I said it would be “off by” as in the “error will be” so the difference is the important bit to calculate that. There are a lot of ways to correctly do the math though

Thank you for your service. It’s super important for every internet comment to contain every pedantic detail every time
- Comment on Do you need to adjust your speedometer if you change the size of your tires? 4 months ago:
Yes,you can use the tire size information to calculate the circumference of the stock and the new tires. The speedometer will be off by the same ratio as the difference in circumference. If the new tires are already installed and you don’t like geometry, use your gps to check the accuracy of the speedo at a few speeds
- Comment on Nom nom 5 months ago:
No, sorry, not at all. You just said 2 true things that i agree with. I just fail to see the connection. How does reading right to left help me remember that the bigger side is greater? You didn’t even mention the important part in the first comment as if it is implied by right to left reading. I’m clearly missing something that seems obvious to you

How does this help me remember which symbol means greater than and which one means less than?

Unfortunately, the justice system works very hard to make nullification seem like a non-option and to only select jurors that agree that it isn’t viable.

NAL, but i believe that they have to show intent in order to prosecute. As long as the legal system works properly, they would have to prove that you’re lying when you say “I forgot that was down there”

Haha, i knew kilo was wrong but someone would figure it out. Not sure how i confused myself that badly

CentiCelsius I think (10 cm in 1 m). kilo would go the other way. love this idea though
