Whether something is considered static or flowing is only a matter of scale. Both in time and in space. If we stand on the mountains, instead of looking at them afar off, we see that, at the level of the stone and earth and dust beneath our feet, the mountains are changing and flowing to some extent all the time; go on down to the level of the atom and beyond, and we find that all is, once again, wholly a matter of flux. Stasis is just an illusion of observational scale, both spatial and temporal.
