Earth-is-stationary Proofs

I didn't get my answer until I was a teen when I read popular books about relativity. It's understandable that an adult not into science might wonder the same thing but once explained to them, it should be clear. If it is not, they do NOT require our help. They require the help of a neurosurgeon.  Banghead

Hehehe, I just -have- to point out...that's inertia...not relativity...  That's (similar to)a thought experiment designed to express relativity...but ah...yeah.  The ball has been traveling -with- you...and so carries inertia.  If your vehicle was long and tall enough..btw....that -would- happen.  Not suddenly, but in an ever attenuating arc. The use of the word relative here - as in. "the arc will be determined by the relative difference in velocity over time between two objects starting from identical initial conditions" - is colloquial, not as in General Relativity.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
