So basically my question is: How fast are we traveling through space if at all? and how can science prove this?

So while we know how fast we orbit the sun, do we know how fast our solar system is going through the galaxy?

I think what he means is that while we orbit the sun, obviously, our whole solar system is moving at a certain speed through the galaxy. Our galaxy is moving at a certain speed through the universe. (In theory, our universe is moving at a certain speed among other universes).
So while we know how fast we orbit the sun, do we know how fast our solar system is going through the galaxy? Do we know how fast our galaxy is travelling through the universe? If so, and our planet, solar system, and galaxy were all moving in the same direction across our universe - what would be the actual speed?
