So as some have stated, my theory is wrong. Honestly, not big soup rice. However, I still think this could be a neat concept for a fictional world of some sort. Hell, even applying the theory of relativity itself would be cool. For example, one idea I had is making time flow different in the different realms of dungeons and dragons.
If the faster you go, the slower time gets is true, which it's been scientifically proven, the opposite must also be true. The slower you go, the faster time gets.
Now think about this for a second. We're constantly moving. The earth is rotating at about 1600 kilometers per hour (or about 1000 miles per hour). The earth is also orbiting the sun, the sun (and therefore, us as well) is orbiting the center of the milkyway. The milkyway is on a collision course with the Andromeda Galaxy.
We have NEVER once been stationary. That means we've always been experiencing time at a slower rate. So my hypothesis is that if you reach absolute 0 speed, time flows infinitely fast.
You'd hit 0 kph and boom! The universe just ended in front of your eyes. Not even a single unit of time has passed.
I could also be wrong. Idk. I've only formed this hypothesis based on knowledge I currently have, so maybe this doesn't happen and I'm wrong. Who knows?
Or you know. Become trans and just use Lucy instead

i have some follow-up questions???
Okay okay so I'm gonna rant about my homebrew lycanthropes now (for D&D) and no one can stop me.
Wererat: a weaker form of werewolves who only transform on a new moom.
Wererabbit: A very chaotic and physically strong lycanthrope who transforms on the 1st and 3rd quarter moon.
Weredeer: Ever hear of Wendigo's? If not check this out:
Basically a Wendigo but a lycanthrope. They transform for the entirety of Winter.
Werebears: Basically the opposite of Weredear. While they do transform during the winter season, they are very calm and actually remain conscience. Although they un-transform during a full moon in winter.
WereBats: Transform during night (except on a full moon if there's no cloud cover) and in dark caves. They aren't necessarily violent (except on a lunar eclipse, but I'll get to that)
WereDragons: Horribly powerful creature that can only be hurt by Magical Silver weapons. Partially transform on partial solar eclipse and fully transform on a full eclipse. Anything below 25% coverage and they are simply agitated. 25%-50% coverage and they completely lose themselves in anger. 50%-75% the gain a breath weapon and their hands transform into claws. Anything below 75% can still be hurt by non-magic Silver weapons. From 75%-non full coverage and they remain in a human physique, but grow wings and can't be hurt by non-magic Silver weapons.
Lunar eclipse: any lycanthrope triggered by moon phases transform, but get aggressively violent.
Solar eclipse: all lycanthropes transform, but their aggression and personality is reverse of what it normally is (ie. Calm and level headed wererabbits, hyper aggressive werebears).
Lycanthropes in ascending order of unmanagability and CR:
Weredog (as werewolf but herds sheep instead of mauling them)
Werespider (huge and horrific but basically an ettercap at the end of the day)
Weregaroo (jacked. pugilistic. better pack your silvered brass knuckles or you don't stand a chance.)
Wereapotamous (run.)
Werewhale (you don't need adventurers, you need a convention of ordained clergy to discuss why a caring pantheon would allow this thing's existence)
Werebeholder.
Here me out:
