Quote: "Newton's explained so many things—the slosh and roll of ocean tides, the motions of plants, why cannonballs trace a particular trajectory before thudding back to Earth, why aren't we flung into space as the planet spins beneath us at hundreds of miles an hour*—that it took a while for all their implications to seep in. But one revelation became almost immediately controversial."
Question: How is it possible that the cannonballs now were there going after they get shot? How is it possible that when a plane takes of doesn't land in the wrong place if the world is moving so fast?
Comment: I think that this quote could have been written better, because right now I am still a little confused on this topic. I feel as though if this would have been written better it would make more sense and would make me want to know more about it.
