@Plinz Take a whirlpool. It's essence IS motion. You can try to "grab" it but if you do (like taking a photo), it's not a whirlpool anymore -
@edfrenkel@Plinz But you can run physics forward from that photographed point and simulate it again. - 15 more replies

@Plinz Quantum mechanics shows clearly that there is no sense in which a human is a bunch of particles assembled in some way. None. Zero. -

@Plinz Thanks for the link. Interesting. One issue being missed here is once we get to molecular level, quantum effects can't be avoided.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
