    If the earth were stationary and everything revolved about it,
    that'd mean that most of the universe is traveling vastly
    in excess of the speed of light.

    In this sense, rotation is an ABSOLUTE motion -- which I find
    disturbing since modern physics has discarded most other kinds
    of absolute motions. Maybe I've missed something.

    Any physicists out there ?
