The great projectiles which we fire in warfare, from the coast artillery, travel at a speed of about one mile per second. As the earth moves around the sun, it travels at a speed of about eighteen and one-half miles per second. Thus there is more than 300 times the energy in any part of the earth as it travels around the sun than there is in an equal mass of a great coast artillery shell.

Furthermore, some galaxies—each carrying billions of stars—travel as fast as 60,000 miles per second. What energy in creation!
