An explanation of how our perception tricks us into thinking objects are moving.

Oct 30, 2025 - The Engine of Reality is a simple mechanism that allows our perceivable reality to come into being. Also, understanding the limits of our perception is the key to finally making sense of quantum mechanics, time, perception, and consciousness.

This is the (outdated) manuscript and glossary of my book, First Motion. It explains the core of my theory. The Static Matter Theory was built on the Principle of First Motion; time (or our conscious momentum) is the very first source of motion we experience in reality. Our consciousness moves even when we're standing still or sleeping, and understanding this kind of motion is the key to understanding the true nature of reality. Time has been misinterpreted in physics for hundreds of years. Our perception is humanity's primary measuring tool in science and it cannot be separated from time.

Einstein knew our perception distorts reality and vice versa. We use storylines to describe particles since that is how we perceive reality. Einstein's physics is perfect for measuring how we see the universe, but it is not the actual state of the universe. Data is as good as the tools you have to measure it. Thus understanding the limits of our perception is critical.

Who benefits when chatbots replace humans? We should proceed with caution before we risk devaluing humanity with our creations. To live is to perceive. If someone says otherwise, they're a robot.

Human consciousness isn't strictly held inside of our brains. It's more like an energy field that extends outward until it reaches the limits of our perception.

The universe has a speed limit, and it's the speed of light. It makes me wonder if our reality exists inside a super massive black hole, and we can't escape it because mass can't accelerate beyond the speed of light. Can anything escape the singularity?

Testing reality. If it's real, then it has resistance. Gravity is the result of the universe holding itself together.
