But this has nothing to do with how nature has ordered itself into forms of matter. There is nothing in the analysis or actions of matter to indicate that it is structured on energy. All objects fall at the same rate, all bodies in the same orbit move at the same velocity. Momentum does not enter into the equation. On the other hand, remove motion from a photon, atom, or gravitational system and they cease to exist.
Modern physics is the successor to the unnatural physics of Newton.
Newton devised a workable model to describe the motion of the moon and planets on the ideas of inertial motion, action at a distance, gravity as a force, and space as a void. It is a physics pieced together from the worldview of the seventeenth century. Newton didn't know about particles, atoms, fields, or a structural hierarchy. He merely took from the engineering experience the impression that it takes a force to make things move and adjusted it with some abstract conditions to make an equation that describes orbital motion. It is extremely practical and useful, but it is a contrived mathematical model.
