A character in a Hermann Hesse novel observes that “Movement creates obstacles.” If you don’t move but stay put you’ll face no obstacles.
The Greek thinker Xeno took this thought further by saying that all movement is illusory. He argued that when an archer shoots an arrow, at any single instant the arrow can occupy only one segment of space. Which means that what we perceive as the flight of the arrow is, in reality, a series of static positions. So, motion is a fiction.
