We pondered this question at the playground when i was about 9 years old. Concenus was that everything would fly off into space cuz the earth's rotation caused gravity. We believed this despite learning the power of centrifugal force on the merry-go-round... where the faster it turned the further we were hurled off it... into a steel fence.
