For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.The above can be rephrased using simple 4-D spacetime manifold math. If the world-line (a path in spacetime) of a moving particle is parameterized thus:
(t,x(t),y(t),z(t))
we can obtain the "4-velocity" of the particle:
(1,dx/dt,dy/dt,dz/dt)
The t-axis or time-axis velocity component is 1, a dimensionless number. Now there are relativists who will insist that it is perfectly acceptable to express velocity in time with a dimensionless number but the rest of us with our head on our shoulders, know that it is not true. We know that a dimensionless number such as 1 has absolutely no meaning in as far as expressing velocity or any sort of change. Velocity must be given in units of velocity such as meters per second or whatever standard units are being used. For this reason, there is no motion in spacetime.

no but I watch StargateSG1 and have every season on DVD and as a devotee of capt jack O'neal and an old bird able to remember James Darren in The Time Tunnel i don't feel a scientific expanation is relevent we just need to suspend our belief and hey ho, it is a storyline device to beat waking up in the shower.
