- saghm 6mo agoIt's also moving through time at a rate of one second per second (but similarly not relative to the surrounding cities).
- MathMonkeyMan 6mo agoI was wondering about its reference frame as compared to surrounding cities, but I don't know if the difference could be measured. They are accelerating in different directions (towards the Earth, primarily).
