Opinion: A very, very important video for future physics and future Physicists...
(Note to Future Self: Revisit this video at least a few times in the future -- there's a lot of great ideas here, explcit, but also implicit (implied, derivable)...
On the animated graphics screens, pay specific attention to the green (straight) line in the center of the moving red/blue waves, and ask yourself this question:
Does a given point of space in that line move?
Why or why not?
If it doesn't, then WHY?
And if it does, then HOW?
?
Also, for bonus points! <g>
If it doesn't -- then how could it be made to move?
And if it does -- then how could it be stopped?
?
(In other words... 'Splain your position(s)! <g>)
You know, that old motion and rest trope/meme/chestnut -- from the Ancient Greeks... who probably stole, er, borrowed, er, stole it -- from earlier ancient cultures... you know, "Intellectual Property Theft" <g>)
(Related Philosophical Question: Is "Cultural Appropriatation" also "Intellectual Property Theft"? <g> Hmmm... <g>)
