but is it stationary when being viewed by an observer traveling the same speed..

No because they will always be travelling at a different speed to some extent.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

It exists, yes. However we only see a small portition of the spectrum, I bet there are colours we don't even see :cool:

Mind = blown.

It's like saying "If a tree falls in a forest  but no one is around to hear it, does it make a noise?"

My answer is that it creates the sound waves, but it won't become a noise until it hits the eardrum and is converted into a signal recognisable by the brain.

Light propagates as a wave and interacts as a particle so is therefore truly neither. :nerd:
