Not in the set of square integrable functions, since those functions are not square integrable, as you note: Yes, which means they...

"Stationary" is a matter of "kinematics" as you are using the term here. It's just a choice of reference frame. You can do it with any...

And you see the creation, birth and raising of humans without any human interaction as a more tractible solution than any spaceship...

Those aren't the only kinds of child abuse. How do you know that the complete absence of interaction with human parents doesn't qualify...
