Completely theoretical. But say you had a conveyer belt that rapped completely around the earth and was 1 mile wide and slightly indented. It would run at at say, 100 mph. Then you took another conveyer belt that sat directly onto the first one, and it too traveled at 100 mph ontop of the first conveyer belt. And you kept doing this in succession 20 times. Theoreticaly, couldnt this propel you at 2000 mph in correlation to the earth?

Hi. Theoretically? Yes. But it would be cheaper to buy a Concorde and settle for Mach 2.

Is this a math question? Well which direction are they going because this is very important, if it is going in the same direction the earth spins then you will be propelled faster. Also from North to south would spin you in like a spiral
