If you continuously spin counterclockwise will you live forever?

It depends on the ‘speed’ of your spinning more than the direction. If you spin as close to the speed of light as you can, time will slow down considerably for you. So, yeah, in theory, you would prolong your lifespan.

Yes, you would be upside down.   You'd get lighter and lighter as you approached the centre of the Earth.   As you continued towards the opposite side, your weight would start increasing,you'd start to feel upside-down and you'd reach the other side feet-first.   If I tried this, I'd turn myself through 180 degrees when I reached the centre.   It would be a whole lot easier.

That sounds like a "Robert's Rule" question.  Try http://www.robertsrules.com/.  They have a forum specifically for this type question.\n\nMy understanding would be that once a motion carries its permanent unless and until another motion to reverse or suspend was passed.

No. The rotation continues simply because there is nothing to stop it in space.  A free object will continue to rotate along the same axis unless you apply a force to it.

probably not indefinitely

You would have to overcome the spinning motion of the atmosphere.  See my answer to your "if the world stopped spinning" question.  So yes, if you could reach about 900 mph going west, you would be counteracting the spinning of the Earth and eventually be somewhere else "without moving".  Now about the Earth's orbit around the sun...

no.I believe you will die at 100 years.Are you happy now???You should not think too much, or consult a doctor and find another work to do.Don't worry,be happy!

Depends on your momentum when you do so.\n\nIf you're utterly still and blow out air in space, you will move backwards.\n\nWell, your frozen corpse will...

it would be like being able to run real fast and turn the earth around backwards and turn back time. to about 6 months ago and still know what i know now and prevent certain things from happening...

To live forever, I would trade in my death. Therefore, I could never get it back.\n\nThen I could live forever.

No, but it would be neat if it did. Reversals happen very rarely and take hundreds of years to complete.

No, and the Earth won't rotate 'backwards', but if it did, it would be a global disaster. The spin of the earth slightly counteracts gravity, so if the earth stopped and turned around, the tsunamis, earthquakes, and global havoc would be immense.

Only if you find the Philopher's stone and live forever.\nThanks for two points.

If there are no gravitational or or frictional forces, then in theory it would travel forever.

You would have to live throughout all time to answer that question.

Ok lets look at the instant effects. The Earth is spinning at 1047 mph. If we were to suddenly switch directions our acceleration would be Huge! So how much is suddenly... 1 second? That means that it would be a whoping 2094miles/second^2 (if it was the same thats the same as slamming the breaks so it must be double if your going in full reverse). So you think we would go flying into space right? Partly We would be crushed instantly. Why? The Human body can only survive 12G's thats 12x the acceleration of gravity before we are crushed. The acceleration that would be experienced would be a little over 343874G's. We would be paper thin before we even cared about where we ended up.\nTo all those people who may see a mistake, if any, in my math, sorry.

Things will go wrong over an extended period of time at the same rate as their probability for going wrong. \n\nYou would have a better chance at breaking the law of gravity.
