Dear native English speakers,
do you think you can say both sentences?
(a) None of us can see the Earth moving.
(b) None of us can see the Earth move.

My preference would be for "moving" but I don't think "move" would be wrong exactly.
I would say that "No-one" would be better than "None of us" though, as "none of us" gives the impression of a certain small group trying to see if the earth is moving or not. "No-one" means people in general.
