Welcome Dunash. Maybe he told this in the context of the Relativity only.

Mother Gea is not only relatively but absolutely in motion?
To the little extent of my knowledge, the question of the absolutes are better addressed with the Newtonian approach, so the expression "absolutely in motion" seems a little displaced amidst relativistic jargon. But maybe I'm wrong.

Where's the incontestable evidence?
For Earth's movement? I'm personally satisfied with things like anual aberration, parallax and so on.
