Relativity and motion are one of the same thing,both are temporal in nature,and persist
for a cycle,then the universe as we think we know it,is no more!Then motion is no more,
until the next cycle begins.

Even under suspended animation, the basic building blocks of life - the atoms are still vibrarting

I don't know - could be totally wrong...but its like pressing PAUSE button

Quite right dipayankar; if we were able to stop motion it would also destroy physical structure. The same would be true if we limit the degree of freedom to one dimension.

Michael; your lack of science knowledge is overwhelming.

Hi Dave... how is that light was stopped?? Didnt it destroy the photon? I read that it was restarted. Very strange

Thank you Dave,I am overwhelmed,will be thinking of you while canoeing the backwaters
of Turkey next week.

Dip;
I suspect that the article was a bit sensationalized in that Bose-Einstein condensates have strange characteristics. If you think of them as being quantum conductors of light then you can say that when the fields are held in a constant sustained energy state, light is stopped. It is similar to the semiconductor functioning of MOS FETS in that controlling the “field-effects” allows you to control the flow of the charges.
BTW: this can only be done with pulses and not with a continuous light beam. A continuous beam is reflected when the B-E condensate is held in a fixed quantum state.

Michael; Have a nice trip and a Marry Christmas.

Why exclude sub-atomic level from tha realm of motion? If motion stopped so would the "vibrations" - my imagination sees everything simply locked in permament rest state of atomic position before motion stopped..

I agree with you David, if motion stops the structure would cease to be.

Best,

Pat

Hi Micheal, still in Turkey? Wow that country has caught your imagination... Enjoy

David... is it possible to hold EM fields in constant sustained energy state?? Arent they supposed to be alternating else the wave dies off... I could be wrong here. But that's what I feel..

TINA when I said atomic I also meant sub atomic.. anyways I stand corrected. My imagination says that when motion stops, everything just degerates, as there is no light, every quark and sub atomic substances just degenerates..
