All motion is relative, so by definition that is not possible.

I think what they are trying to say because it's spinning the same it's all connected or formed at the same time.

All motion is relative, so it's valid to define that the center of the universe, around which everything else revolves, is my cat.

[–] mech@feddit.org 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

No, the physicists got it wrong. Because both of my cats are the center.
