    The center of the universe, I suppose. How fast is the Milky Way moving away from the center? I imagine quite fast.

      There is no center, and there’s no fixed grid. It’s still funny to think of the atmosphere stopping from the sun’s reference frame, though.

        Well at the very least, we’re supposedly moving 2.1million km per hour along with the Milky Way, and 720,000 km per hour within the Milky Way (so it could be more or less if that’s with Milkys movement or not), plus our own movement around our sun, so … basically really fast.

        My point is, having anything just freeze like a glitch would probably cause something terrible. Granted even relative to the sun is probably catastrophic so it’s kind of a moot point, haha.
