yuo've actually shown exactly what I'm talking about - If your in a convertible car going 70 mph and you throw a doll into the air - it will land 100 feet behind the car. If the earth is moving at 1000 mph and you jump into the air, you land back in the same exact spot - ergo - the earth is not spinning.
Uh, if you're in a convertible and throw something straight up into wind that's pushing backward, then yes. That's dumb. I mean a car with the windows up. You'll see, over and over, that whatever you're throwing behaves exactly the same as it does when you aren't moving.
