Factoid - as far as can be determined, Western Europe at the current time is the safest place in human history, the time and place where you are least likely to die a violent death.
I read it in a book and am jolly pleased I am about it.

Re: The safest place in time and space
Well technically,I suspect no-one has ever been murdered on the summit of Everest, so that is the safest.
Us damned socialist Europeans, with our rules and our freedom to be less likely to be murdered than anyone else.

Re: The safest place in time and space
This house is the focus of global and temporal safety whilst the duvet upstairs is even safer than that.

The earth rotates on it's axis at around 1,000mph. It orbits the sun at about 67,000mph and it, in turn, orbits the galactic centre at roughly 486,000mph.
Where ever Europe was in time and space (spacetime) when the OP was posted we are already many thousands of miles away.
We are no longer safe

I forgot to mention! The whole galaxy itself is also moving - on a collision course with Andromeda!
