For the past several several months, I've been recording a pod-cast about each week of about an hour, under the subject "Moment and Motion", where the previous topic of about 50 hours was "Descriptive Differential Dynamics". In "Moment and Motion", I go about describing the theory of motion and of moments as is usually rather well-known as what is classical mechanics, and explain for example how it is undefined how things meet and part, at all, in the usual laws of mechanics. What I've arrived at is a sort of deconstructive account about particularly the "infinitely-many higher orders of acceleration" that are formally non-zero somewhere between before and after any application of otherwise force. Along the way, Zeno is a constant companion, and indeed, a recent notion of "Zeno's swath" joins Zeno's other theories, of what must be comprehended to make reasonable, sound models of motion, and dynamics in motion or change, mostly as with regards to the model of a wave as a model of change in open systems, in physics. Of course, this is a mathematical physics, thusly the point mostly is to equip mathematics with sound, reasonable models of dynamics in motion thusly to automatically equip the physics, also. So, you can browse to this "Philosophical Foreground" play-list under my pod-casts channel https://www.youtube.com/@rossfinlayson , where is entertained a theory where zero meters per second: is infinity seconds per meter. tempus fugit
