You can't _ measure motion if you never stop measuring.

Our ability to measure varies with scale;
many things can't be measured, such as the "mass" of a photon,
or the volume of a "singularity".

My "theory of everything" ( including our feeble minds ):

2016, NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope found 
the brightest objects known to man: gamma-ray blazars,
Two Trillion times the sun's output.

They're young, of course, just 1.4 billion years old, 
multi-billion-solar-mass black holes, in "Active Galactic Nuclei".

Like The Known Universe itself, blazars had more exergy,
less entropy, when they were younger. 

At the start, there was "no entropy" ("no time, no space"), just "eXergy" 
( a type of energy that can do physical work, force * distance ).

Everything decays, even gravity; hence the arrow of time.
Entropy converts blazars into SpaceTime.  Gravity is residual eXergy.

Eventually, this eXergy will be consumed away, replaced with entropy,
leaving us with a uniform heat bath that has all of the energy
but none of the eXergy.  

Einstein's Cosmological Constant ( 1.11 * 10^−52 / Meters^2 ) tells us 
that outer space is growing EXPONENTIALLY, gravity is dying off;
-- i.e. the "Heat Death" predicted by Lord Kelvin, 1852,
   is the most likley outcome.
