Not really. The rate is movement-to-movement, not a ratio to units of time. So, "meters per second" can be restated as "meters per 0.00001157407 earth rotation

Not really. The rate is movement-to-movement, not a ratio to units of time.
So, "meters per second" can be restated as "meters per 0.00001157407 earth rotations" or meters per 15", where 15" is fifteen arc-seconds.
Hours and minutes are just placeholders.
0.00001157407 = 1 / (24 hrs * 60 min. * 60 secs)
15" = 360° * 60' * 60" / (24 hrs * 60 min. * 60 secs)
- atombender 7y agoRestating rate as relative to motion doesn't eliminate time, it just redefines it. If you have change, you have time. Sounds like you want to say that time is an emergent property of matter.
