this is really stupid, but have you considered that the rotational speed of the earth at the equator is like 400 meters per second? How tf are we not flying into space under those speeds?? The answer is obviously that the center of rotation is ABOVE us (that's right baby hollow earth is back) we're inside rotating globe OH AND BTW that's how gravity works, thank me later physicists.

Gravity is just centrifugal force.
