The Book of the Earth three Ways The Earth Moves. The first thing we are inclined to say when we are told the Earth moves is that we do not feel it moving. But the answer to that is simple. When you're in a train in a station, you sometimes cannot tell whether the train is moving or not, except perhaps by looking at another train, standing at the other platform. And sometimes you think your train is moving until you see that the platform is quite still. It was the moving of the other train that made you think your train was moving. So it proves nothing to say that we do not feel the earth moving with us. If you are traveling in a train or on a boat or in a balloon or on this great Earth, you have only two ways of judging whether you are moving or not. one is by feeling the movement under you, and the other one by noticing that things outside seemed to be moving past you. Now. Certainly we cannot feel the earth move under us. But this is simply because the movement is so smooth. The best proof of the smoothness of the earth's movement is that no one has ever felt it before. Sometimes a little bit of the outside of it moves by itself, and then people feel it that is called an earthquake, and it's quite different.
