What I mean is has anyone ever combined the speeds that we are moving at when we are sitting still?
First, there is the rotation of Earth on its axis.
Second, there is the Earth's orbit around the sun.
Then there is the solar system's speed through the Milky Way.
And finally, there is the galaxy moving relative to the rest of the universe (assuming that the Big Bang theory is correct).
I know that this is a strictly academic problem, but I would appreciate some conjecture.
