Gullie and Graybeard;
The idea of this post is to show that when we look at interpretations of scientific terminology, we must ask ourselves "what is the true entity?" and "what is the term of a measured quantity (dimension) being attributed to that entity?"
Matter is the entity, motion is the property, and Energy is the measurement or mathematical calculation. Though you will not find it in physics books, "mass" is a measure of the potential energy of a system and not the physical quantity of matter in that system. This is why mass and energy are identical.

I have read many posts and books that attempt to depict measurement terminologies as entities with attributes or properties. Using the word "dimension" as if it too were defining an entity rather than just a measure is another common abuse.

Many perceive "space-time" as an entity when it is, in fact, only a mathematical method to express the behavior of space relative to motion. It is in effect describing the behavior of "ETHER" and how it response to structured matter.

Uncertainty and probability are other terms hyped out of proportion to impress the ignorant.

I become annoyed with those who attempt to impress others with superior intellectual skills by discussing such pure nonsense as being a realm of higher learning. This usually indicates nothing more than a high school physics education.

This is why I say that complexity is not natures design.

Gullie, the function of the universe is simple, Don't let anyone convince you otherwise.
The universe is only complex when we try to measure it.
