Our Spinning Earth
On 09/13/2013 in Question
I have been taught that the earth spins about on its axis at the rate of 700 mph every day and the earth spins around the sun at the rate of 365 day-rotations per year. Could this spinning explain why I get dizzy when trying to write letters? Or read them?
———- from Ted Ward of Pacifica, California
Sure the earth is spinning, the solar system is sliding toward some black hole at the center of the galaxy, and even the galaxy is jetting along at some impossible speeds away from Big Bang Central. So what? You can’t spend your whole life blaming outside circumstances for the problems created by your tortured psyche! Inability to read and write are often signs of a vitamin deficiency, or a defective character. In either case, it isn’t the solar system’s fault. Besides, some people work hard at getting and staying dizzy. Maybe you should learn to accept and even enjoy your present circumstances.

When I write computer programs I leave the window blinds open and the lights turned on. Many of my colleagues, however, keep the blinds closed and the lights off. Do they know something I don’t, or is there something wrong with me?
