something which has no motion; it has no width, length, breadth, depth; it is not held in suspension by an equilibrium of forces; it does not havemass; it does not contain wavelengths; it has no situation in time or space. Formerly a static was defined only as a motionless object which definition is not adequate, since an objectNor a state of rest for an objectNis attained only by an equilibrium of forces and all objects have in themselves, if only on a molecular level, motion, and exist in space which is itself an integral portion of motion. —Secrets of the Mest Universe Glossary (approved 26-9-90)
