Albert Einstein observed that, "Nothing happens, until something moves". What do you'all think about that?

Question

He also said that as you approach the Speed of Light, everything around you comes to a stop...

However, because we would disintegrate from the friction of moving at that speed, we would have to be outside of the universe to "see" this phenomenon, or, consist of the same properties as light, but with consciousness, to be able to know it...

Answer 1

I partially agree with that statement, in its simplest form. For when everything moves, nothing happens for me. This is why I admire the stillness of the frog.

The frog can sit for hours, yet no amount of stillness will cause the frog to fall asleep, nor will its concentration waver. Its conciseness is such, that the moment an insect moves into range out flashes the frog's long tongue and he gobbles the tasty little morsel.

The frog has perfect timing and not an ounce of energy is spent carelessly. Everything happens in the frog's stillness...it is only when he moves that the frog is only leaping.

Answer 2

First of all, it was Sir John Denham (1615-1669) that said this, in his book, "The Sophy". It has been attributed to Einstein because it does seem to have this metaphysical otherworldy sound to it, but in fact it doesn't reflect his guiding philosophy in his work in physics. He was a geometer at heart, not a Newtonian. In a Minkowski space, nothing is really moving at all, but merely an illusion perceived by its inhabitants, like you and me. However, it sounds absolutely terrific to all the motivational speakers and coaches out there, who are all too happy to say that the genius brain of the century Einstein said it first, not some obscure English poet.

Answer 3

He did? It must be one of his lesser-known statements.

It makes since tho. A good example is the post office.

Answer 4

that's right because any action have a reaction with the same amont of force like the action

Answer 5

Well actually everything is happening . The reason is that nothing is static.

Answer 6

did he use a telescope?
