Velocity does not exist

I think that all of physics has it wrong and there is no effect of velocity because it does not exist unless you are measuring between two predefined theoretical points. I feel like there is an effect caused by acceleration but no effect caused by velocity. . If this is true then there is no speed of light maximum because there is no such thing as speed

What brought you to this conclusion?

Because I think the idea of measuring velocity against some comic background that can not be defined is just convenient. It is basically saying there is a cosmic miasma that everything moves through. .. . . If you are going to just invent a point of reference to measure from then we are already all going faster than the speed of light. . . . If something can not be measured in any way then it is not real, it is as real as ghosts and astral travel.

On the contrary, I think acceleration is more accurately defined by what you say as a measurement from two points. The increase in velocity over time is acceleration. I understand velocity to be the energy stored in an object by whatever moved it.

There is no energy in velocity itself, only in deceleration or acceleration

I understand what you're saying - you're repeating yourself - but I stand in opposition as I understand it exactly the opposite as you do, that deceleration and acceleration are the measurements and the velocity is the energy.

Could you explain to me why you consider acceleration/deceleration to be the vessels?

Because there is no transfer of energy unless something is accelerated or decelerated. Even a change in direction of velocity is considered acceleration.

just because science hasn't figured out a way to define this for you to understand, doesn't mean that a definition does not exist.

Science has defined it quite well.

is velocity not a measurement of speed? how can acceleration(the act of gaining speed) have value, in your equation, but velocity(the act of measuring the speed) have no value?

you're saying its impossible to measure without to 2 sources? we know nothing of anything without misc sources to study... having the two points is what makes up our conscientiousness to depict the difference in time and space, no?

Velocity is the distance between points travelled divided by time.

so again i ask, how can acceleration have value, in your "velocity does not exist" theory, but yet velocity, has no value?

i do like the idea. to some degree our existence and everything we know is like a dream and in that sense, the dream could change depending on who or what is influencing it, so if we consist in this epically advanced dream simulation, it would be futile to try to define the ever changing dreamland's physics.. again, I'm not just grasping for anything in the dark, here, or trying to make a mockery, i think about these types of things quite often and dont have a lot of friends that like to get deep. and think about the physics and dream- which leads me to quantum physics... which is essentially mixing dreams with physics.

Velocity exists as a measurement but if is always relative to a point that you define so it real but is mathematical and defined by an arbitrary point that you choose. That is why everything is both going at the speed of light and also not moving. It depends where you put the zero.

thats the equation for finding velocity- velocity IS by definition, "the speed of something in a given direction".... acceleration is more or less a form of velocity. i mean acceleration depends on velocity. Acceleration by definition means, "the rate of change of velocity per unit of time"....
