logh-poH 'oH vIHtaHghach'e' 'e' vIHar. vIHbogh pat 'oH
logh-poH'e'. Relativity implies that all things move to some
valid point of observation. Vectors are described by location,
direction and speed, the latter being the time element, and if
an object appears to be stationary, just change your observer's
perspective. Space-time is motion. Our point in the continuum
is simply our moment and location in a vast system of motion
which can only be perceived within our event horizons.
