    Have you ever , thought while driving that your car , is 'sucking up" the road infront of it ? So it 's like the car stays , in the same place the whole time ... LOL I love these little ideas . And one of my friends said that this guy (anyone know ?????? ) wrote a book which said that when we jump , on a trampoline we don 't actually move , at all but the Earth does or something , like that ... But I like to think that behind , these silly thoughts is some - thing profound which I read in a post from I can 't , remember who on these forums saying , something like you don 't in fact-actually move at all ... you are like a rock in the river , of life .... I thought that was beautiful and it nicely tied-together these other thoughts that were floating , around in my head ...

    it 's just a different way of looking , at things but thought t 'would be some thing to think , about

    One time I was driving around with a friend and started talking about how wouldn't it be funny if instead of him driving and turning the corners and speeding and slowing down, actually the earth was making very precise and intricate movements. And it was pretty funny. I like these thoughts too.

    You may think you are just playing mind games here, but what you said can be the beginnings of relativity... look up "inertial reference frame" on wikipedia if you want the math...

    I know there are several schools of philosophy that have similar ideas, but that's not really one of my areas of knowledge...

    Keep thinking "outside the box." The world needs more original thinkers. :)
