Motion, as we know, is change of position of an object with reference to Tome and a frame of reference to a previous position/point.
If one studies the definition carefully, we would know this statement of Physics commits the fallacy of ad infinitum.
Any position for this reference should be preceded by a previous position,which means that we never have a fixed frame of reference ans s a result ,Motion, as we understand now, is not Absolute.
Corollary to this fact is that Motion can or may be out there where different scales are applicable.
Please read my posts on ‘Time’ and’ Existence of other Universes”
‘In physics, motion is a change in position of an object with respect to time and its reference point. Motion is typically described in terms of velocity, acceleration, displacement, and time.[1]Motion is observed by attaching a frame of reference to a body and measuring its change in position relative to another reference frame.
A body which does not move is said to be at rest, motionless, immobile, stationary, or to have constant (time-invariant) position. An object’s motion cannot change unless it is acted upon by aforce, as described by Newton’s first law. An object’s momentum is directly related to the object’s mass and velocity, and the total momentum of all objects in a closed system (one not affected by external forces) does not change with time, as described by the law of conservation of momentum.
As there is no absolute frame of reference, absolute motion cannot be determined.[2] Thus, everything in the universe can be considered to be moving.(Wiki)
Now Scientists have caught Invisible Motion on Video.
Invisible Motion.
A 30-second video of a newborn baby shows the infant silently snoozing in its crib, his breathing barely perceptible. But when the video is run through an algorithm that can amplify both movement and color, the baby’s face blinks crimson with each tiny heartbeat.
The amplification process is called Eulerian Video Magnification, and is the brainchild of a team of scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory.
The team originally developed the program to monitor neonatal babies without making physical contact. But they quickly learned that the algorithm can be applied to other videos to reveal changes imperceptible to the naked eye. Prof. William T. Freeman, a leader on the team, imagines its use in search and rescue, so that rescuers could tell from a distance if someone trapped on a ledge, say, is still breathing.
