Is it possible to reach or surpass the speed of light?

LoonylionAlso its not the spinning of the earth that creates gravity, it's the mass of the earth.

In fact, the spinning of the Earth would make us fly off if not for gravity!

If it wasn't for gravity we'd fly off the earth anyhow. Spinning or not.

People here like simplifying what I say don't they?Meh at least the point gets through somehow

Not necessarily, if the earth was exactly as it was now, but didn't rotate or have gravity, we'd swim throught the air.

Like how on the moon? No the moon has gravity. High tide dude. Anyway, who am I to say? none of us will ever know. Huh.

Replying to #65

the moon has 1/6th (or 1/8th, not sure) of the gravity the earth has.

Yeah, so erase that and what happens we just kinda drift in the direction that the last force push us in.

yep
