Is anything in science stationary. How about the observer.
@martinies,
I've read that from cover to cover today, and it doesn't mention this subject.
Shall I try The Telegraph?
@martinies,
That is material that people write on.
@Lordyaswas,
That's it. I'm following your ass on A2K. Once I figure out how to do it.

The universe is expanding. Everything is moving away from everything else. The further apart two things are, the faster they're moving away from each other.
Sorry, that was sloppy of me. You're right. That aside, unless you arbitrarily choose an inertial frame, everything is moving.
@FBM,
Ah, now that is where you are wrong, I think.
It is my theory that, in the absolute centre of the miniscule point where the almighty explosion occurred, there is the tiny dot which was originally positioned at the bottom of the exclamation mark at the end of
BIG BANG! standing absolutely still and waiting for the day when everything eventually implodes back to nothingness, so that the next BIG BANG! may occur.
@Lordyaswas,
Well, data currently look like we have an open universe that's going to keep expanding to the point of heat death, instead of a closed and cyclical one. But you know how these things change. Let's just wait it out and see for ourselves.
On, and that infinitesimal center point would have been done in by the anisotrophy of the expansion. Sorry about that, buddy.
@FBM,
Damn!
Back to the drawing board. An entire ten minutes research wasted.
@Lordyaswas,
Ten minutes, eh? Well, it could've been worse. I can't for the life of me imagine how, but some things must be taken on faith, I understand.
Back in the 1970s, there was a brand of matches called "England's Glory" which had jokes, mottos, quotations, etc printed on the back of the box. During a period when they were putting jokes there I remember thinking this one was a bit saucy:
Male shop customer: "Do you keep stationery?"
Girl shop assistant: "Yes, until the end, and then I go really wild!"
Others I remember:
A mother passing her little daughter's bedroom, hears her saying her prayers: "...and please, God, send some clothes for those poor ladies in Daddy's magazines."
Mother, to little daughter: "Did Daddy take you to the zoo, like he promised?"
Daughter: "Yes, and he was very pleased because one of the animals romped home at ten to one!"

Quote:The further apart two things are, the faster they're moving away from each other.
According to this professor, that's only true if you adopt a theory of motion which assumes that simultaneity is relative, as opposed to absolute.
Quote:The current situation, where there is a lack of compelling experimental evidence that distinguishes between SR [special relativity] and AST [i.e., absolute simultaneity theory], allows one to countenance the possibility and implications of a valid AST...
Dark energy is proposed to drive the accelerated universe expansion, but its composition and mechanism of action are unknown....
This study shows that a valid AST would have significant implications for cosmology, including...a linear, non-accelerating rate of universe expansion during the most recent era.

@layman,
So there is no stationary thing.

And in late breaking
minuscule anisotropy errata, t'would appear News of the World being stationery is completely unfounded, it's been murdoched.
@knaivete,
So there is no stationary thing.
@martinies,
It doesn't look like there is in the current Standard Model, no.
@FBM,
Maybe one day we will find that thing that dosnt moving and then by logic has never moved.

@martinies,
I kinda doubt it, but why are you interested in such a thing? It looks like a bit of fiction, honestly. What significance does it have for you?
Stumble It!
