What is Digg?208 Comments
- fluidfoundation, on 03/09/2008, -2/+120Actually, I'm moving 605 kms per second. I've really got to go pee.
- BigManOnCampus, on 03/09/2008, -37/+125600 km/s relative to what? Where is your fixed point in the universe?
- OneLess, on 03/09/2008, -1/+88They explained that it is relative to the cosmic background radiation.
- MadAce, on 03/09/2008, -0/+55The spot we left behind, of course.
- gudnbluts, on 03/09/2008, -1/+49Well, you should have gone before we got on this planet. Now you'll just have to hold it 'til we get there.
- DucoNihilum, on 03/09/2008, -3/+49And now we must end Mrs. Pearsons 4h grade class. Class dismissed. Tomorrow, we're talking about 'gravity'!
- Fihiro, on 03/09/2008, -4/+40This was mind blowing......In grade 3 =p
- ineptsavant, on 03/09/2008, -1/+27Between this and the "OMG Alaska is huge" article(or whatever it was called) that both made the front page I don't know what to think. Did most of digg sleep through all of school? I should submit a new article
OMG Alaska is huge and is moving through space!!!11!11
Even more interesting is that people in Alaska are moving faster than the people in egypt! OMG what will science do next. - twomeyw23334, on 03/09/2008, -1/+25Actually km/s^2 is a measure of acceleration. And if this guy is accelerating at 605 kmss he is moving FAST. But when you gotta go you gotta go.
- MadTom, on 03/09/2008, -3/+25no.
- jester55, on 03/09/2008, -0/+21It is a well known fact that digg users never move from their chair. Ever.
- JulyZerg, on 03/09/2008, -0/+17Looks like a giant yin-yang to me!
- UtahApocalyse, on 03/09/2008, -0/+17Im dizzy now.
In other news..... The Earth is ROUND! - jstohler, on 03/09/2008, -5/+22It ain't nearly as amazing as good grammar.
- Uranium118, on 03/09/2008, -2/+17I know a good name for it, let's call it "acceleration".
- shaka776, on 03/09/2008, -0/+15ooohhh... i think i'm gonna be sick....
- Darcius, on 03/09/2008, -3/+17Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour,
That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned,
A sun that is the source of all our power... - jdh24, on 03/09/2008, -0/+13the earth is rotating while revolving around the sun which is rotating while revolving around the center of the galaxy which is revolving around the local group which is falling towards (revolving?) the virgo cluster, all of which are moving at 600km/sec outward (revolving?) from the center(?) of the universe.
- NightVortez, on 03/09/2008, -1/+14Are you serious? You mean everything doesn't circle around the Earth and it's really round? *****, looks like I've been living a lie.
- bdawg923, on 03/09/2008, -0/+13RTFA "The map indicates that the Local Group moves at about 600 kilometers per second relative to this primordial radiation."
- bigbchew, on 03/10/2008, -0/+12I've got to pee too, but I'm moving 595km/s since my toilet's in the opposite direction.
- halogenic, on 03/09/2008, -8/+20600 kms per second and spinning in circles at the same time.
- mleaman, on 03/09/2008, -2/+13Buried as inaccurate. I am the center of the universe.
- inactive, on 03/09/2008, -0/+10No, that's not what it means. That would mean that the "boom point" would be the center of the universe in which all things "move away" from—which is not true.
- xyqxyq, on 03/09/2008, -0/+10Cosmic burn.
- HawkeyeMatt, on 03/09/2008, -8/+18I failed at making the O Rly owl.
Please digg down :( - digitalunit, on 03/09/2008, -1/+10Boy, paw, this sure is amazin'
- slashbot, on 03/09/2008, -1/+10How is that a new unit? It is merely acceleration with a metric prefix.
Also, he said kms... implying kilometers... km/s would imply kilometers per second - lukemandese, on 03/09/2008, -3/+12Its not that amazing
- BigBallistix, on 03/10/2008, -0/+9It's only relative, WE could be perfectly still and the rest of the universe is doing the moving.
- Scynet, on 03/09/2008, -2/+11Yep, here we go:
(600 kilometers / second) / the speed of light = 0.00200138457
Our speed is 0.2 % of the speed of light. - leeftw, on 03/09/2008, -2/+10Did anyone else just see a colourful blob?
- loki440, on 03/09/2008, -1/+9why does everything have to be about race?
- inactive, on 03/10/2008, -1/+9Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
And revolving at 900 miles an hour
That's orbiting at 19 miles a second,
So it's reckoned
A sun that is the source of all our power
The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see
Are moving at a million miles a day
In an outer spiral arm, at 40,000 miles an hour
Of the galaxy we call the Milky Way
Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars
It's 100,000 light years side to side
It bulges in the middle, 16,000 light years thick
But out by us it's just 3,000 light years wide
We're 30,000 light years from galactic central point
We go round every two hundred million years
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
In this amazing and expanding universe
The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
In all of the directions it can whiz
As fast as it can go, the speed of light you know
12 million miles a minute and that's the fastest speed there is
So remember when you're feeling very small and insecure
How amazingly unlikely is your birth
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space
Because there's bugger all down here on Earth - inactive, on 03/09/2008, -3/+11OMG BLIZZARD NERF EARTH.
- bigt8dogg, on 03/09/2008, -0/+7My head just snapped back and forth really fast...
- darlingt, on 03/09/2008, -1/+8Irregardless of that, though, it's an interesting article.
- mateusap, on 03/10/2008, -1/+8***** or gtfo
- sanman, on 03/09/2008, -0/+7Relative to the Quantum Foam Aether, that Michelson-Morley failed to adress in their disproof.
- cquilliam, on 03/09/2008, -0/+7Stop this ride, i want to get off.
- dezmo, on 03/09/2008, -1/+8the universe is not of infinite size
- Shogi, on 03/09/2008, -3/+9It's a race!
- sinembarg0, on 03/09/2008, -1/+7no, kilometers/second per second is not a new unit, t would be km/s^2, which is a measure of acceleration, or if you interpreted it as written, it would be kilometer seconds per second, which would just be kilometers.
- LeFrenzy, on 03/09/2008, -0/+6notice how the photo is shaped like a Yin/Yang. The Universe is so...balanced.
- psion01, on 03/10/2008, -0/+6Is infinitesimal.
- Feazey, on 03/09/2008, -0/+5Darn beat me to it :P
I'll have to use this.
You think walking to the chemist is far? That's literally peanuts compared to the universe. - zanderw00t, on 03/09/2008, -0/+5a digg user never moves from his or her chair.^
- boonesfarm, on 03/10/2008, -0/+5How is this not "Breaking News"? /sarcasm
- grovest4life, on 03/09/2008, -0/+4I get it you like ducks but please keep your fetishes to yourself
