Movement is a change in position over a temporal interval (an abstract
quantity). Every movement has a velocity. Mathematically it is
represented as dx/dt. Time is simply an evolution parameter. Nothing
can move in spacetime for the simple reason that time cannot change.
Why? because a change in time is circular. Why? Because its velocity
would have to be given as dt/dt wich is simply the unitless 1, which
has no meaning.

And please, I don't want to hear that velocity in spacetime is 1
second per second. That's pure BS.

I also don't want to hear that you can use proper time to parametrize
coordinate time either. What's good for the goose is good for the
gander. Time is time. If one time can change, so can another. If you
think that dt/dT represents a change in t, you must be also prepared
to show how T changes. And no, you cannot parametrize T with t because
that, too, is circular.

What is my point? My point is that y'all can kiss my ass. How about
that? ahahaha... AHAHAHA... ahahaha...
