What are you going to do now...deny that the earth is in Motion? That sun itself isn't in motion? That the stars aren't in motion?
But what "yellow" does remind me of is you!
Accept the terms to my wager and let us get the show on the road.  |
First of all the sky only appears to move because of the earths' rotation
The earths'
direction of rotation takes place in the 3 dimension of space, and a 4th dimension,
time "which also contains" the first 3 and permits "degrees of freedom"
...In many scientific fields, the degrees of freedom of a system is the number of parameters of the system that may vary independently. For example, a point in the plane has two degrees of freedom for translation: its two coordinates; a non-infinitesimal object on the plane might have additional degrees of freedoms related to its orientation.
Our local progression of befores and afters also includes the nearby cosmos, and all of that "move.s" along with the earth and you and every particle of matter and energy at the same rate of
before and after..
You need a much larger frame of reference than OUR planet spinning on it's axis.
Claiming the
future "approaches and passes thru us to transform all around us into the present and then the past(ugh!) 
"
assumes you are not part of that local rate of before and after of every bit of reality surrounding us
You are bunky
...Time is often thought of as the fourth dimension. Time plays a key role as a dimension in mathematical formulations of physical laws and theories such as general relativity and string theory.
Tomorrow, today and yesterday are simply convenient terms relative to us to identify the progression of events. As is the future, the present and the past.
