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.
@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 🙂
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.
