Hi guys, I am new to the forum and I have what is probably a simple question for most of you.
Unfortunately a great deal of people I know have suddenly taken up the idea of a "Flat Earth", and they consistently post things that try to contest that a flat Earth is a far more logical idea than a round one. Now that aside someone recently posted this
"If the Earth is spinning eastwards at 1000mph, and the speed of sound is 768mph, does our speech/hearing change depending on which direction we are facing? Lol!"
Now I assume that this may not exactly be the case due to inertia? (Please correct me if I am wrong) but is there a full explanation as to why this is/isn't true, I tried searching for materials but everything I can find only relates to flight times and Earth's rotation.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks :)
