David Bohm was a physicist who was interested in what underlies reality. He proposed that everything is in fact a flow and what we perceive of as fixed are simply eddies in the current. Add to that our own perception – where the “things” (eddies in the current) are seen as single frames in time, or as shapes in the flow.. I’ve tried to visualise the perspectives below. The same animation, but at different speeds.

This is David Bohm. It’s really worth finding out more about him (I think!). Link to David Bohm on Wikipedia
