I think it will be shown that the early Buddhists had it closest (I'm talking here not about pop-Buddhism with all it's silly compassion - I mean the hard core epistemology.)
  1. No Space
  2. No Time
  3. Therefore no speed nor distance since each depend on the former two.
  4. The so called 'multi-verse' is like saying 'how many points on a line' ... that is, there are in fact no points, and yet there is the continuum - and so the notion that there are infinity points. So, It's not that there are infinity universes, is that none occupies time or space, there are neither zero, nor one, nor many.

It's actually not, I think, contrary to what 'God' points to. There was a time when to even say His name at all - to utter it or even to conceive it - was a spiritual mistake ('sin' when it means, as it originally did, 'to miss the mark,' since all 'name and form' occupy time and space.) It wasn't that God occupied ALL time and space, or that all time and space was within the bounds of God, it's that there really is no time, nor space, yet: what is, is. Or: "It is only, it is."

That is why, I think we will see all the Quantum work approach, but never touch, the same roadblock Einstein never touched, but approached -> Like a cleat on a sailboat, the more progress you make pulling the rope through, the tighter the cleat, until the clamp force becomes infinite before the rope is through.

It's also why the universe only appears to manifest when observed. Because that is only when it manifests. Particles only take position when paired with attention.

When St. Augustine said "Whatever is exposed to the light, itself becomes the light." ... This light was not the 'light' we think of as in a flash light, nor the 'Light of God' we may conceive-> it was 'awareness.' (Many would argue that IS the light of God - awareness itself.)

So, no distance, no speed, because no space, no time ... and the appearance of the universe only as a phenomena with neither subject nor object. No witness, nothing to witness.

Not sure that will get Obama impeached this week.

That's been bouncing around my head for a couple years, and I guess this post on Einstein made it finally bounce out.

“there are neither zero, nor one, nor many.”
