TIME is a form of ENERGY. Our brains are not yet developed enough to understand the responses we receive as a result of contact with TIME.
All MATTER is LIFE, LIFE that we see as objects, are not inanimate. The existence of ENERGY in all of its forms on matter show that ACTION is being taken.
When the atoms of two objects collide, the interaction is not a physical clash of MATTER on MATTER but instead electromagnetic repulsion ACTING to keep the nucleus separate.
GRAVITY is ACTION taken by MATTER to collect TIME.
