Undergrad Is it possible, that one physics law is "Everything is in motion?"

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the proposition that "Everything is in motion" as a fundamental physics law. Participants argue that all motion is relative and that black holes, as well as galaxies, exhibit movement, evidenced by real-time observations of black hole collisions. The debate also touches on the existence of zero in nature, with some asserting that zero is a valid measurement in quantum mechanics, specifically as an eigenvalue of the quantum angular momentum operator. Overall, the consensus is that motion is an inherent characteristic of the universe.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Newton's Laws of Motion
  • Familiarity with quantum mechanics concepts, particularly eigenvalues
  • Basic knowledge of astrophysics, including black holes and galactic movement
  • Concept of relative motion in physics
NEXT STEPS
  • Study Newton's Laws of Motion for foundational physics principles
  • Explore quantum mechanics, focusing on eigenvalues and angular momentum
  • Research the dynamics of black holes and their interactions in galaxies
  • Investigate the concept of relative motion and its implications in physics
USEFUL FOR

Students of physics, astrophysicists, and anyone interested in the fundamental laws governing motion and the nature of the universe.

TL;DR
everything in motion
Is it possible, that one physics law is "Everything is in motion?" (since zero doesnt belong to nature)...if so, does that implies that black holes move?

"zero" belongs in nature as much as any other number.

And, black holes certainly move : as well as evidence of galaxies (which commonly have huge BH's at their center) passing through each other, we've real-time observed black holes colliding.

Everything IS in motion. All motion is relative and everything is in motion relative to SOMETHING, but we hardly need a "law" to say that.

Also, what on Earth could you possibly mean by "zero doesn't belong to nature" ??? I am currently holding zero apples in my left hand.

you can't it doesnt exists...you arne't holding anything...for example, for apples or roses..zero of those two are equal...also because of infinity might be zero..for example the creation of the university

This is just word salad as far as I can tell. Or, put another way:

True, in the limited sense of the natural numbers, which you did not specify in your original post, which had to do with motion, which measurement rarely approximates a natural number.

You need to learn some physics. This is just rambling, ungrammatical nonsense.

Zero is an eigenvalue of the quantum angular momentum operator, hence a valid measurement of angular momentum. Zero does, therefore, exist in nature - in this and many other contexts.

Ok.... but since everything moves, (i checked wikipedia), then everything is subject to a force , and applying a force?
thanks....

GADS! NO! You really need to learn some VERY basic physics. Maybe start with Newton's Laws at least.
