Perfect Stillness

rawnsley:

The earth is spinning on its axis, and around the sun, and around the center of the galaxy, but Alex Ignatiev calculated that at two particular places on the earth, twice a year, and for a fraction of a second, all these accelerations cancel out.

I propose an expedition to these locations to find out what it feels like to stand completely still.
