Everything IS in motion. All motion is relative and everything is in motion relative to SOMETHING, but we hardly need a "law" to say that.andrecoelho said:
This is just word salad as far as I can tell. Or, put another way:andrecoelho said:
True, in the limited sense of the natural numbers, which you did not specify in your original post, which had to do with motion, which measurement rarely approximates a natural number.andrecoelho said:

You need to learn some physics. This is just rambling, ungrammatical nonsense.andrecoelho said:
Ok.... but since everything moves, (i checked wikipedia), then everything is subject to a force , and applying a force?PeroK said:
GADS! NO! You really need to learn some VERY basic physics. Maybe start with Newton's Laws at least.andrecoelho said:

No, "Everything is in motion" is not a recognized law in physics. While it is true that many objects and particles in the universe are in motion, this statement is more of a general observation rather than a formal law. Established laws like Newton's Laws of Motion and Einstein's Theory of Relativity provide a more precise framework for understanding motion.
The concept that everything is in motion aligns with several physical principles, such as Newton's First Law of Motion, which states that an object will remain at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force. Additionally, in quantum mechanics, particles exhibit wave-like properties and are never completely at rest. However, this concept alone is too broad to be considered a standalone law.
While the idea can be applied broadly, it is not universally applicable in a strict scientific sense. For example, in a theoretical absolute zero temperature scenario, particles would be at their lowest energy state, displaying minimal motion. Therefore, while motion is a prevalent aspect of the universe, it is not an absolute condition.
Understanding that most things are in motion helps us grasp the dynamic nature of the universe. It influences our comprehension of phenomena such as planetary orbits, atomic particle behavior, and the expansion of the universe. This perspective is crucial for fields like astrophysics, quantum mechanics, and thermodynamics.
Yes, there is a scientific basis, but it is rooted in various established theories and observations rather than a single law. For instance, the kinetic theory of gases explains the motion of particles in a gas, and General Relativity describes the motion of objects in spacetime. These theories collectively support the observation that motion is a fundamental characteristic of the universe.
