COROLLARY OF FINITE ENERGY

The energy of the totality of stuff particles is finite because it is a result of the squeeze force acting upon a finite amount of stuff

COROLLARY OF FINITE MASS

The mass associated with the finite totality of stuff particles is finite because the total motion of the particles is finite.

There are several questions that come to mind regarding the squeeze force (not to mention the questions regarding further description of the stuff particles themselves).

What about the strength of the squeeze force? Must we also regard it as a given attribute of the universe. If the force was infinite in strength then the particles would move toward one another instantaneously (with infinite speed). Since this does not happen we must assume that the force is finite in strength. This would result in there being a limit to the speed in which the particles can reach. The limit of speed of particles generally appears to relate to the particle size.

A factor of speed is time. We have not yet discussed time as a principle of the universe. For a completely empty universe, time would be a meaningless attribute. It could be argued that time does not exist in this case because there are no events to describe chronologically. Let me present my view of time.

THE TIME AXIOM

Time is not a physical aspect of the existence of the universe. Time exists by definition or concept only. In physical reality there is only the now.

Time can be used to describe the behavior of stuff particles by describing their position in terms of what-use-to-be or what-will-be. Time can only be given units of measure when related to the motion of stuff particles. And this is because their motion is controlled by a force acting on them that has a definite strength.

I am not going to further investigate the nature of the elementary stuff particles. There is still many unanswered questions regarding their description. Such as:

> Do they vary in size or are they uniform in size?
> Are they completely solid or do they contain some empty space within their surface?
> What is the shape of their surface?
> If they are spherical in shape, do they contain bubbles of empty space?
> Are there classes or different types of particles or are they all unique from one another?
> Are they all similar in shape but have different sizes?
> If they do contain empty space within their surface, does their density vary from each other?
> What about their center of gravity?
> Can they be broken into smaller particles upon collision?
> Can two or more merge to become one particle?

Clearly the possibilities are endless. I wish I could answer these questions. However, even without these details we can derive other universal laws with the information that we have arrived at so far.

We can combine the concept of gravitation and the concept of conservation of energy to make another observation of the universe.
