I know what is motion!
Should one pretend to tell you what is motion, you might answer: "I know what is motion!"
And you are absolutely right because motion is part of our very human nature; better yet motion is part of Nature.
Yet once through the obvious appearances of motion, one may wonder about motion.
And that is natural because motion is mystery!
- Motion is a scientific mystery.
- Yet motion is also a physical mystery.
PART I: In Science, Motion is a Mystery and Ignored
Physics' basic description of motion
"The purpose of mechanics is to describe how bodies change their position in space with time". Albert Einstein.
Yet positions in space and in time are both extern to the motion studied.
Such a description of motion might be accurate but doesn't provide us a clue on what motion is!
Motion and Mathematical Speed
The scientific or mathematical interpretation of motion is speed.
The concept of speed lures us in thinking we know everything about motion!
Yet because speed is the ratio of miles or kilometers per hour and because none of these are involved in motion, physics' mathematical speed is absolutely foreign to the physical entity of motion.
Here too our concept of speed may well coincide with motion but again doesn't provide a clue on what motion is.
Motion and relativity
In addition speed is relative in physics, which has the sad effect to further disconnect motion (artificially only) from reality.
Speed is relative because it is observed (or measured in physics) relatively to a background (to a reference system in physics).
As such though, relativity is a characteristic of our human observation of motion, and not of motion per se!
Please note that claiming that motion is physical, as done in gravimotion, doesn't deny relativity, a theory built on the observation of motion and not on the reality of motion.
The point is relativity sidesteps motion reality; relativity evades reality.
Now let's get at the heart of the problem ...
Why is motion a mystery in science?
- Let’s call P1 and P2 two as close as possible but distinct positions in space such that there is not any other available position in between P1 and P2.
- Physics description of the motion of a material object, is through well defined positions in a well defined reference system.
In other words, an object in motion, which gets to position P1, must first disappear from P1 before showing at position P2.
The mystery resides in that the object must then spend a time (not null) in between P1 and P2 having no position while existing in motion, before showing in P2.
The object's matter, its very integrity, in between P1 and P2 while in motion remains a mystery left to our imagination.
Whatever happens to matter in motion between P1 and P2 remains a mystery to be explained.
This author thinks that that mystery is contingent to the fact that in physics the "present", which distinguishes the past from the future is an instantaneous instant, having no time that is not stretching in time.
- And to add uncertainty to mystery, physics very process of motion (above) breaks down in physics subatomic world!
Because of the uncertainty principle, positions such as P1 and P2 are essentially forbidden at subatomic scales.
The positions themselves become mystery!
- These 2 contradictory stances: "position in relativity", "no position in quantum mechanics" in science physics is another of those "dualities" that physicists acquit themselves with too easily!
Yet and as explained below, the lack of position might just be the solution!
PART II: While Mystery, Motion is nevertheless Physical in Reality
Motion is Physical and Found in Space
We are living in motion, not in time!

And that opens up a bunch of unsuspected questions... Click the book!

Take your pencil and let it fall on the table; because the pencil is moving, free fall is motion.
In gravimotion's interpretation of Nature motion is a physical phenomenon as real as the pencil itself.
You might find that weird at first, to the point of not considering it seriously, yet in the gravimotion world motion comes right out of space and makes the pencil fall!
Motion as an Alternate to Space, motion is the universe!
Even though claiming that motion is coming out of space is unorthodox, here in the gravimotion world, we state that motion is always there in space, preceding the pencil experiment, and remaining invisible until brought to attention.
We then move forward, and because at the cosmological scale the universe is expanding1, we state that the universe is motion and not made of space.
Motion (or expansion of the universe) is taking over our concept of space.
And that fits physicist's stance who claim that the expansion of the universe occurs through the stretching of space in between galaxies and not through galaxies moving away from each other.
Not only are the roles of space/time and motion reversed in this new interpretation, motion taking over both space and time, but also time and space are now fused into motion!
And to get back to the pencil experiment and its motion, the motion of a single object, in gravimotion, is a motion volume, formatted out of the motion replacing space and time.
While claiming that physical motion comes right out of space sounds weird at first, claiming that motion replaces our human concept of space turns out to be surprisingly pragmatic, and extremely beneficial to our understanding of Nature!
To start with, motion replaces advantageously in one scoop, space, time and gravitation!
Motion is the physical embodiment of Einstein's mathematical space-time-curvature!
Departing from physics interpretation of motion
Because motion is physical, motion has some physical characteristics.
- Motion obvious physical characteristics are direction and intensity (rather than speed).
- In gravimotion's interpretation of Nature, motion is a physical loss of equilibrium, that altogether seeks equilibrium:
- Either motion is a dynamic loss of equilibrium, as when it occurs in free fall2 or gravimotion.
- Or motion is a restricted loss of equilibrium, as when we stand on earth and not falling.
- On earth, any other motion is a combination of above 2; motion is a dynamic loss of equilibrium, which is partially restricted by friction.
- In gravimotion's interpretation of nature motion is physically both the cause and effect of itself.
In "physics", the cause of uniform motion is inertia, and the cause of accelerated motion is force.
In physics, inertia and forces are in charge, only inertia and forces do exist and then motion is ignored.
In gravimotion, motion is what occurs, merging cause and effect.
The essence of motion
In any case, that is even though motion is physical, motion remains a mystery.
In this paragraph motion is introduced using our concepts of time and space, yet with the ultimate intention to show that motion is self sufficient, and in the end to drop altogether these concepts of time and space.
- In gravimotion's interpretation of Nature, matter while in motion, doesn't disappear in between P1 and P2.
The motion and the matter that it moves, both motion and matter "occur" during finite durations of our concept of time!
And matter in motion "overlaps" a larger volume of space than that it occupies in our human concept of rest.
In other words the moment we are living, while observing motion, is not instantaneous as thought in physics, but does stretch in time.
- While in motion a subatomic particle starts to arrive in position P2 before it finished leaving position P1.
Gravimotion’s motion of a subatomic particle involves an elongation of matter (in space and in time) from positions P1 to P2.
- A fundamental and amazing consequence of the essence of motion is that motion has no beginning and no end!
Because motion involves altogether volume of space and time duration, no position in space within motion and no instant in time within motion can be defined.
Our concept of position such as P1 or P2, which is occupied by material objects, now vanishes into thin air!
Motion, physical in essence, yet having no beginning and no end, transcends our concept of the physical...
Finite motion, having no beginning and no end becomes altogether infinite, because the infinite is that which has no boundaries.
In motion the finite becomes infinite, or if you whish the infinite becomes physical and finite!
- The above description of motion is possible in gravimotion because:
- Neither mass nor inertia exists in gravimotion, essentially sidestepping physics' obligation of matter to occupy a position.
- A subatomic particle is only made of its electric charge. It has no mass. The charge engenders both surrounding gravity field and electric field.
- Last but not least electric charges (and as a consequence subatomic particles along with them) happen themselves to be made of motion, and as such "occur" (rather then exist) while having no position!
A behavior, by the way, strangely reminding that of quantum mechanics subatomic particles.
FYI in gravimotion's interpretation of Nature, the gravitation field and the electric field surrounding any subatomic particle are specific formats of the motion making space.
Motion at the base of a Unified Interpretation of Nature
In gravimotion interpretation of Nature, motion's physical evidence replaces speed's mental and mathematical concept.
And that is only the tip of the iceberg, motion, which is as physical as the pencil of the experiment, is the sole ingredient of this interpretation of Nature named gravimotion!
Now resting on a single ingredient that is motion, gravimotion is an interpretation of Nature inherently unified!

There is nothing like gravimotion's interpretation of nature!
Furthermore gravimotion is presented with simple illustrations or geometrical models in the book above.
Because it doesn't exist, there is no time to loose! Get in motion, get the book!
