OK, just had a thought, does motion mean there's void and matter in the same space? Would it be like saying 0=1, or 0+1=1? A bit scary actually, since that would mean everything is "suspended"? Or do properties depend on motion? BTW I know a conclusion probably requires motion to really be logical (thought process) but still.

"Law of Identity?" Please clarify.

Motion happens so either it doesn't contravene this "law" or the "law" is wrong.

I take it you're speaking in Aristotlean terms, which is why people are unlikely to know what you're talking about on a science forum. I do, but I still don't know why motion (that is, change) would contradict identity.

 

Also, this isn't really a physics question, so I'm going to move it to General Philosophy.
