minus-squareThorry@feddit.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up2·9 days agoAll motion is relative, so by definition that is not possible. I think what they are trying to say because it’s spinning the same it’s all connected or formed at the same time.
minus-squaremech@feddit.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up5·8 days agoAll motion is relative, so it’s valid to define that the center of the universe, around which everything else revolves, is my cat. (by her definition)
minus-squaremech@feddit.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up3·8 days agoNo, the physicists got it wrong. Because both of my cats are the center.

Be honest. Is she right?
