Why everything is in motion?

What travels faster than a bullet train?

I was watching the bullet train in Japan. As the name suggests, they travel at incredible speeds, making a long distance journey a short affair. It wasn't a century ago that people still used carts to move themselves such distances with great difficulty. Transportation in the modern world has revolutionised the entire human interaction arena. As an example, when I buy a watch from amazon, surprisingly it will come to me tomorrow if I wanted, as it was pre shipped! Weeks before I bought it, they anticipated me buying it. So shipping is not slow either when we consider a bullet train. But let's take a deeper dive into things which are faster and faster till the fastest.

Electromagnatic spectrum

How about a wave? Anything from the electromagnetic spectrum. I skipped jets, sound waves and any animal or human to the electromagnetic as it is considered one of the fastest. Light as we call it is also a part of this electromagnetic spectrum. So far we haven't seen anything faster than the speed of light. It Is used to measure distances in cosmic scale. Have you ever thought about it before? 

A simple Google search will teach you that what can travel at the speed of light is something with a zero mass. In this sense, the photons which are particles of light, travel at the speed of light have no mass. Anything faster than this obviously means time travel. Tachyons which are hypothesised particles although proposed have not been proven.

But I would say though we assume nothing moves faster than light, I would say everything moves faster than speed of light through time. By being faster doesn't mean there is greater movement. Consider a blooming flower. 

Blooming Flower

What moves faster than Light?

A sunflower once bloomed, it will follow the path of the sun. From east to west, it will cover a journey of a few centimeters per day. But consider what it means. During these 12 hours the flower had moved. During each second it covered some distance although we could not see. And this process has been happening and happening even now. According to Richard Fernmen. If it wasn't for these giggling particles, the macroscopic movement that we see would not be possible. 

From this point onwards it's all imaginary. Studying arrow paradox and time would help for the discussion. As time is a continuum, without any measurable instances, the movement that we see is happening in everything that happens at every moment. So obviously there is nothing stationary in the universe, not even a dot, a chair or a planet. And this is the side effect of time.

I am not sure how much you understand from this crap, but if you do, I am going to answer your next question. What does existence mean? If everything is in motion.

Train station.

Why everything is in motion?

I can show you your existence from the bullet train example above. Consider you are on the platform and the bullet train just passed the station at 300km per hour. And you turn to your friend and say the train is here. But fundamentally the train was never there, it never stopped. It was just passing, like it had been doing for the past hour. But we all agree to the illusion that the train was at the station at a specific time. 

Yet if we look deeply and closely, the train, the platform, and the matter in you never stopped for a fraction of a second the entire duration. This imaginary stationary layer above what we observe is the existence. As you can understand, it's nothing but imaginary. One day you are gonna understand this little truth about yourself and it's gonna hit you hard. You will start to see motion in everything stationary and see how people try to grasp meaning out of nothing. And if you do and when you do, come back here and give us a comment as, I really would like to know your thoughts.
