Boxes, Perception, Entrapment, and Freedom?

Dear Friends,

Have you even had an itch that you just can't quite reach to scratch? And you know that if you could just do ... something ... it would stop itching?

I have a theory that we as humans are (relatively) stupid as a whole. Every once in a while someone great and smart comes along and tries to explain big important things to us and they use very small words because they really want us to get it. As I read the works of really smart people, my (relatively) stupid brain has started itching and I know that if I could just do ... something ... it would stop because I am so sure that these separate events are all related. Maybe it's because they all use similar metaphors? ...?

Science:
Einstein: I have fallen in love with this man over the last four months (I hope that Josh doesn't mind too much). His theory of relativity is enthralling to my itchy brain.
My Focus: If I am in a box, moving at a constant velocity (speed and direction), from inside the box I could not prove if I am moving or standing still. I would have to be told by someone outside the box whether or not I am (relatively) in motion or standing still.

Philosophy:
Plato: A little too Greek for me to fall so very in love with, but also with an interesting thought.
My Focus: General populace tied down in a cave, not able to see the outside world (sound familiar?). Slightly different twist ... they can see shadows on the wall in front of them created by the outside world. Back to the old story ... they need someone from the outside to tell them what is actually going on.

Godosophy (because I hate the term religion):
Jesus: A man I am certainly in love with, although I hesitate to call my experience for him love because I'm so bad at it.
My Focus: He comes and tells us that we are all enslaved, trapped, and basically boxed up, but that he has an outside perspective on stuff and can really tell us what is going on, but since we have never seen the outside world our understanding of it won't be very thorough until we actually exit the box (for now we only see dimly ...)

Questions for the night, although they don't seem related very well to the above, I swear that they are somehow; my itchy brain says so:

1. If you were to stop all motion, I mean really stop not just stop relatively so such-and-such a thing, what would happen? Would your physical self cease to exist?
2. If you moved faster than the speed of light, would you be omnipresent? Or finally be completely stopped and void of all motion?
3. If you unify the Bible and science, and matter is really energy that is somehow frozen (E=MC squared), and super string theory really is correct and everything we perceive is really just made up of vibrating strings of ... something, and just as we can still hear the echoes of the big bang in the static of our radios, maybe we are after all just physical echoes of God's (would there be an audible voice when he said "let it be" if he hadn't yet created matter to carry the sound?) voice which was so full of energy that it vibrated the nothingness into being filled with energy which froze and turned into rapidly expanding matter and then fused the hydrogen atoms together in the first stars which spewed out the carbon that our very biology is made of?

I have more questions, but they aren't thought out enough to be formed into words.
