Quotes About Motion

But here too there's a problem – the faster you go, the more time slows down. This is a scientific fact. I spend my life driving quickly, which is why I have a 1970s haircut.

All motion is relative. Maybe it's you who've moved away by standing still.

A body will accelerate in proportion to the force acting upon it,

When people in stadiums do the Wave, it's the group-mind collective organism spontaneously organizing itself to express an emotion, pass time, and reflect the joy of seeing the rhythms of many as one, a visual rhyming or music in which everyone senses where the motion is going.

To me, if life boils down to one thing, it's movement. To live is to keep moving.

The car ran almost noiselessly. It ran as if gravity had no power over it. Houses glided past, churches, villages, the golden spots of the estaminets and bistros, a gleaming river, a mill, and then again the even contour of the plain, the sky arching above it like the inside of a huge shell in whose milky nacre shimmered the pearl of the moon.

through the hull—the rush of water past a prow, the thrum of propellers.

What matters is our velocity. At this speed, the friction from hitting those air molecules so fast it's hotter than an industrial furnace.

Apparently, just adding mobility by itself would add force to my motions without any stability, so I'd basically be blasting myself forward with each step. Hilarious, but impractical.

as an explosion. Imagine a stick of dynamite standing in a stationary position on a table. Nothing is moving, so the total momentum of

spacetime model, we might now reasonably ask what is the momentum of the car through time. The answer, fairly obviously, is that

The combined speed of any object's motion through space and its motion through time is always precisely equal to the speed of light.

a stationary object moves through time at the speed of light.

Whereas, all that is happening is the Earth is following a straight line in curved space.

Galileo stated that there was no experiment you could possibly perform which could detect if you were stationary or moving at a constant velocity. This unification of "being stationary" and "moving" stands as the first of the great unifications in physics.

It's all in how you arrange the thing... the careful balance of the design is the motion.

It is better to go forward without a goal, than to have a goal and stay in one place, and it is certainly better than to stay in one place without a goal.

For him the points of the compass have no great importance. It's all the same to him which one he chooses, as long as he's not idle. That is truly a witcher's principium.

A butterfly could flap its wings and set molecules of air in motion, which would move other molecules of air, in turn moving more molecules of air— eventually capable of starting a hurricane on the other side of the planet.
