      @neiltyson a "flat earther" asked me; if earth is rotating at 465 m/s and the speed of sound is 340m/s, how can we here each other talking?

      @Jaspher9000 That’s the speed of sound through Air, which moves with Earth. Our atmosphere is part of our rotating planet.

          @neiltyson @jaspher9000 it's fairly obvious that if the air was stationary we'd be having HUGE windspeeds continuously

          @neiltyson how do 'they' explain the opposite rotation of storms seen from coriolis effect in the N and. S hemispheres? This is nuts!

          @neiltyson — How far did your mousetrap car go when you were at the Bronx HS of Science? I'm sure it is much more competitive at that HS.
