Definition: Velocity is a vector measurement of the rate and direction of motion or, in other terms, the rate and direction of the change in the position of an object. The scalar (absolute value) magnitude of the velocity vector is the speed of the motion. In calculus terms, velocity is the first derivative of position with respect to time.
The SI units for velocity are m / s (meters per second).

What Is Velocity?

Velocity is speed determined by measuring light from the point of origin to its point of destination. That is one definition.

Now to explore other definitions of Velocity.

Space.

Speed.

Light.

How does "Velocity" relate to information?

As mentioned earlier on the introduction to this blog, information comes faster than the speed of light these days. With such speed, the "velocity" is measured exponentially because it increases an increment each time due to a constant flux of ebb and flow that is actually speeding up faster and faster.

Just take a look at blogs!!

Do you have any idea how many blogs exist on the internet?

Do you have any idea how many blogs are created daily, moment by moment?

Blogs are just one form of information. 

The internet is a prime example of velocity using the formula regarding information multiplying exponentially as it gains speed.

The internet contains newsfeeds, round the clock news from around the world, online newspapers and magazines, websites, ebooks, and blogs.   Now add to that list of available information being produced online via internet daily, videos such as You Tube and audio. Add the podcasts and other interactive media.

Whew!

Is it possible for any one person to monitor all the new information waving upon the minds of humans on a daily basis? I would wager an answer to that is "no!"

Imagine the intensity of such electrical and radio impulses beaming upon the earth and permeating the very airways in which people exist. Do you believe it disturbs the energy patterns of either the brain or the body in humans or other animal life forms?

These are just a few questions that Midnight Velocity seeks to answer on the coming blog posts. Join us at the speed of light.
