I've made a a big boo boo. 75! Ooops!

There was absolutely no way I was going to attempt to raise that little detail with a distinguished physicist.  I knew full well that I'd be presented with pages 'N' pages of complex equations leading to authoritative proof that 70 is the new 75.

Physics is such fun!  I used to like walking along the corridor of a train leaving a station and find I was going nowhere.  Childish, moi?

With all good wishes.

Depends. If the train was traveling at the speed of light, all sorts of stuff might happen... length and time dilation, etc.

All relative to the observer, of course!

But what about if you jump in the air?
Do you travel backwards ?

You'd have to assume the answer is 'Yes', as the earth continues rotating while you're in the air

Rookie mistake.

The earth rotates at approx 1000mph. Now I can't jump that fast
