voice-verified
What would each see when they look towards each other?
voice-verified
Rotational speeds would be much faster at the equator, so how

How would relativity show up for these probably quite dizzy observers?
voice-verified
A fun analogy if Earth were somehow rotated that fast, uh, could familiar landmarks appear in places that seem impossible because of relativistic effects?
voice-verified
Uh that's the second question.
voice-verified
Uh thanks so much.

voice-verified
All right.
