"dissuade the scientific community from knowingly propounding silly laws that supposedly govern all physical activity"
Yep, this is the crux of the problem. Different philosophical takes as to how reality is fundamntally constituted underpin different theories, which is why they have flaws and do not marry up.
I noticed you comment on speed before, and am not sure I agree with it, as written. So let me put it this way. There is movement, which is relative alteration in spatial position. Now, it is relative beause everything must be deemed to be moving. Therefore, in order to calibrate this, one particular example thereof must be selected as a reference (it could be any possible example), otherwise the judgement cannot be effected. Subsequently, this reference must be used consistently to ensure comparability. In simple language, this is no right or wrong answer, only a relative one. The concept of speed is just the relative rate of that movement.
I would certainly not agree with: "there has to be a starting point and there has to be a stoppage point and there are no such points in the continuum of the reality of the Universe", because there obviously must be such points, otherwise there would be no existence. The difficulty comes in identifying them.
Space is an interesting one. It is actually what is not something. There is only something which physically exists, but the 'space' between A & B is only that because of the way in which we have defined A & B. In physical reality, A &/or B may be part of C. And there is something, just not A and B between A & B, but we are not interested in it. Space is just a conceptualisation of the relative size/shape of these somethings. So they can be conceived of as occupying spatial position. So there is intrinsic space, ie the spatial 'footprint' of any given something, or there is extrinsic space, ie that which is not the somethings as defined.
