You've never been in the same physical place twice since the Earth, the Solar system & the Milky way are all moving through space.

@Theraviranjankr That ststement is no more true than its opposite. There is no such thibg as an absolute position, so you cant assert this either way.
I think relativity has taught us something more akin to "Objective reality isnt as common as you think". When it comes to position, velocity, simultanity, length, and even mass there is no objective truth. So making any statements about the uniqueness of such things is nonsensical.
@freemo @Theraviranjankr yes I agree, but I think that a more interesting lesson of the toot was that we live in a world where apparently you have repeatable/constant events , so it seems a conservative world. But at a different level of observation, nothing is fixed/constant/absolute.
Life is possible only because there are repeatable patterns, but life is also constantly evolving because everything changes. It is the paradox of the clock face: it seems fixed, but it is moving. It is the paradox of politics: you can defend traditions, but at a larger time-frame, things had to change.
@freemo @Theraviranjankr "There is no such thing as an absolute position." <- an absolute position, exhibit 1.
@freemo @Theraviranjankr Perhaps you meant to say, "There is no such thing as an absolute position that is true." While I still disagree, that would at least be an interesting self-contradiction along the lines of "this statement is false", as opposed to having itself as an obvious counter example.
@customdesigned @Theraviranjankr
Its not something that i think has much room to be wrong. Its a fairly well established fact.
@freemo @Theraviranjankr For me to have an opinion on "it" [you've never been in the same physical space twice], there needs to be a definition of "physical space" and what constitutes them being the "same".
In the prevailing "scientific consensus" of relativity, there is no absolute time (or position) or order of events.
We observe two types of matter at the atomic level. Bosons (e.g. helium atoms) do in fact often occupy the same space and time on the micro scale.
@freemo @Theraviranjankr or in other words, if you dig deep enough, in the universe every event is unique: "It is not possible to step into the same river twice" -- Plutarch, Heraclitus and Progressive Party Slogan 🙂
