We're moving through the universe at 0.1% speed of light - apparently

[Cath]

I presume that figure is relative to the rest of the observable universe?

I thought time was dragging a bit ......   !!

Ha!

Depends how fast ur relative speed is I guess.

the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxy are approaching each other with a speed of about 130 km/s, however the collision of these two galaxies will not occur for about 5 billion years (AstroFile). Another result I found was that our galaxy and neighbors are moving at 600 km/s in the direction of the constellation Hydra (Scientific American). Finally, I found that the Milky Way moves through space within the cluster of galaxies it is a member of, and this cluster in turn moves through space towards yet another larger cluster of galaxies off in the direction of the constellation Virgo. This speed is approximately 300 km/s (Ask the Space Scientist).

Hope we never have to perform an emergency stop.
