Theory of Motion and Parable of the Triplets
My son asked me to explain him the reason we are moving.
Alright, friction and inertia play a role, as do the gravitational forces amid the celestial bodies, or the nuclear ones within the atomic microcosm. But, what is motion? Why are we moving? What sets us in motion? In order to provide an explanation I had to resort to the following parable.
“We are triplets. One travelled at the speed of light a long time ago. Now, I am 30 years older than him. The third one exceeded that limit as well and travelled even faster; he is now a baby”.
What shifts is the universe, not us. What we do is deposit within the thousandths of minutes transparent shells, the infinite sequences of our moments.
