Action-Reaction: Instantaneous VS Gradual

The fastest way to travel between two points in space is via a
straight line.
In fact, if you travel on a true straight line to your destination
then you will get there instantaneously.
So, how fast is instantaneous? Well it is ZERO of course...
An instantaneous journey takes 0 seconds, 0 hours and 0 days.
Forget light speed.. and forget Star Trek warp speed...
Instantaneous is the quickest way we can arrive at our destination.
--------------
Perfect - Imperfect
Instantaneous - Gradual
Linear - Curvature
Continuum - Discrete
Zero - Value
Fiction - Fact
So, a Perfect, Instantaneous, Linear, Continuum of ZERO seconds to our
destination is a Fictitious fantasy!
Impossible - Possible
Absolute - Relative
Even though it is impossible to obtain we must still start from this
absolute reference frame when we are calculating our equations:
Begin - End
We must always begin with ZERO.
If we are going to calculate how long it will take for us to get from
point A to point B then we draw a fictitious straight line from point
A to point B.
Mathematically, we represent this straight line with a 0.
Zero degrees linear, zero seconds etc.
RELATIVE to this 0 degree ABSOLUTE straight line reference frame we
get a degree of curvature that must be encountered for us to reach the
destination in real life.
Instantaneous - Gradual
Linear - Curved
For each degree of CURVATURE encountered a GRADUAL time value must be
added to the INSTANTANEOUS LINEAR 0.
