How do you know for certain that things move?

In my class we occasionally talk about Philosophy and this is a topic that came up in our discussion during class. The main argument on our teachers side was "How do you know your senses are deceiving you" and I agree with this point that you never know if your sense are deceiving you. For example, have you ever been in a quiet place and thought you heard or felt something behind you? Then you turned around and nothing was there? So, how would you know if things actually move? 
What's your opinion on this? 

If none of this makes sense or there are typos just tell me politely, I'm tired.

When we hear something or feel that something touched us it can be our own paranoia that starts imagining things, granted the human brain is one of the most mysterious thing us humans possess.

I believe David Hume derived a philosophical theory that may answer your question. I'll get back to you shortly when I find the link.

How-do-you-know questions are dumb. We don't know anything with an absolute certainty. The question we ought to ask is, "Is this realistic? Is there any evidence to back this up?" I mean, do you honestly think a Toy Story-like universe where things animate when you're not looking and go back to normal when you do is realistic?
