Mind trip in metaphore.

Greetings ats,
Heres a little mind trip. I'd like to Show the beauty of our universe and how we can see it everyday in our own back yard. The universe amazes just about everyone. It's size and nature are mind boggling, and the variety of differentness is infinite. Everything inside is part of what makes it whole, inside, all is one.
Ok, first, no need for exact answers, but bear in mind the answers to these questions.
How fast does the earth go round the sun?
How fast does the sun go round the galaxy?
How fast does the galaxy move through the universe?

The earth orbiting round the sun, as the sun itselfe is moving, means the earths distance travelled is far greater than that of the sun, in the same time. Speed increases dramatically. Our sun could have a binary star and if true this would increase the speed/ distances even more!

Apparently nothing can travel faster than light, and if you can travel at light speed time stops. So in theory, if you go round in a circle at the speed of light you get back to the start before you left..!?.
Ok,
From earth looking out into space, everything moves and we have the illusion that we are still, all is in motion. The galaxy is light years big and we have not yet achieved light speed. So how can we have pics of our galaxy from outside? Just to send the pics back in, at the speed of light it would take 100s of years. From earth we are still and all moves. No matter where in the galaxy we are we are still observing from, the only place you can be still and observe is from the centre. Then you can see! Other than that you would have to be far outside looking at it. Could it resemble a fast growing, twinkling flower? Or maybe a pine cone?

If you put a light on the wheel of your car and drive at let's say.. 30mph. You would get a solid ring of light in your wheel. How fast are we moving through space?
Does the sun go round the galaxy in a circle? Does it sweep in close to the centre, passes, back out to the edge, turns. And heads back like inthe flower/atom symbol. This seems to be a fractual pattern that changes as you move down in scale. Imagine being outside the galaxy and zooming real fast down in to an atom. You get this beautiful changing patern, changing slightly as you zoom onto the next orbotal pattern, reminiscent of the Russian dolls that fit one in side another. Each one slightly different, but the same. There are many coincidences selestial/bodily/ earthly that suggest nature repeats itself on many levels.

Atoms are 98% empty. Just little orbiting lights held together by gravity. We are made of these so we must have a light body that are 98% empty space. Right? It would appear not. When we look out all we see is empty space and light, when we look in all we see is empty space and light. So what's going on. Why can't we see properly? Why do our light body's not glow? If they are so empty why are the so heavy/dense. It seems like a natural virtual reality we chose to experience, it's as real as it gets, but it's not real. If we are traveling through the universe at, or close to light speed we are catching up with ourselves. We will get to where we came from, and that's where we are heading.

There is only one place we can truly be still, and that is in our minds. But in this hectic world we live in few of us even have that ability anymore.

But I love your thoughts OP and you're right. When you truly think about it it really does make the mind boggle.

Here's video you may enjoy, my suggestion is dim the lights, turn up the sound and enjoy....

The bit where you say that on earth we are still and the stars, sun and moon are all moving made me think of this video youtu.be... where Peter Brown says that you never move in your experience, enviroments move but you are always still.

It is true, we are all the centre of our own universe inside the multiverse. leave a trail in our path everywhere we go. Why would that be any different in space. Leaving a trail of information, learning through creation as we go.
