Our planet is moving through our solar system and our solar system is moving through our galaxy and our galaxy is moving within the local group and are local group is moving through our universe, so how fast are we moving right now, and if i then jump into my spaceship and accelerate am i accelerating or slowing down relative to the motion i already had gained through everything else's motion within the universe.
we can travel at what we believe to be a certain speed but that speed is only relative to the one point in space which is not fixed which we have decided to use as our frame of reference but that one frame of reference can't be absolute as every point of space has a different frame of reference. so who has the correct frame of reference, no one .
So is speed real ,is it possible to say that something anythings traveling within the universe at 1 10th the speed of light for instance.
