Has This Been Done Before ?


Recommended Posts

Id guess that on average a TB would travel, maybe 20 miles per week, which is a mear 0.12Mph on average

 

However if you assume a earth circumference at this latitude to be 14,800 Miles and give a 24 hour orbit, then a 'stationary' TB would in fact be travelling at about 617Mph simply through the speed of the earths axial rotation.

 

Further given that the earth is approximately 93 million miles from the sun, which it orbits in 365.25 days, we can see that even this is quite insignifigant to the 66,660Mph that the earth is travelling around the sun

 

Of course, lets not forget that the sun itself is part of a rotating spiral galaxy, being some 8 kiloparasecs away from the galactic core, which gives us it a rotational velocity of 495,000Mph (just trust me on this one)

 

So, in short, a travelling TB is actually a hugely insignifigant thing, however, A truly stationary one would be something special indeed, however, unless you have the means of traveling at a mear half a million MPH then your chances of logging it would be quite slim, let alone the fact that you would be unlikely to get an acurate GPS signal when you get there!

Trust Phoenix....

 

If he travels that fast, perhaps that's why he gest all the FTFs!!
