Philosophy of Speed
Speed is the rate at which an object changes its position with respect to time irrespective to direction. The independent of direction makes speed a scalar component.
Humans enjoy the magnitude of speed through the machines they build. The Bicycle satisfied their need at around 4 km per hour. Data in public demine indicate that the speed of a train is at 574.8 km per hour. Motor Bike Dodge Tomahawk touched 676km per hour. The supersonic cars touch 1600 km per hour and the Supersonic jets are crossing the 11000 km per hour barriers.
Confining the discussion to the three statements, on why humans build machines that speed on speed for speed.
1. Humans are obsessed with speed.
2. Humans have a compulsion towards speed.
3. Humans are submissive to speed.
Obsession is persistently recurring thoughts attached with emotions resulting in a positive or a negative output. Humans could be obsessed with speed as it is more of an emotional attachment they have, and this emotion is satisfied by building machines generating greater speed. Here the emotion is tagged to speed and attachment is tagged to machines.
Compulsions are a strong force of push or pull to act on situations and are difficult to control. At times the compulsion leads to repetition of the act. What could be the compulsion on humans to get attached to speed? If humans are under compulsion towards speed, then why and for what is this compulsion for? At what limit of speed will humans be satisfied and get to delink from compulsion?
Submissive is a state of acceptance to obey to conditions laid out. These conditions can be internal or external; from the context of speed, it is clear that humans have become submissive to machines which are generating greater speed on every new refinement they undergo.
The picture looks like the humans are obsessed with speed and are in a state of compulsion to achieve it and in the process, they have become submissive to machines that generate speed.
Is the passion for speed a DNA component?
Is there a spectrum designed for speed with a range from to maximum and named at each set of speed?
Could there be future machines that can shift speed from one point to another point in the spectrum through a loop rather than using the braking or accelerating functions?
