Did you mean there is no force until something touches something?
This unwinds like a Mandelbrot set, at the end, is your lack of force, if something was to act upon it, that would be a force, which also couldn't exist without another force, which also couldn't exist without another force, which also -- Well I think you see the point.What point? That there is a limited amount of energy in the universe and it can't just come about out of "thin air?" Amazing how some people do all their best thinking at 3 AM. You are exactly right. Everything that happens comes about by something else. If you could copy our universe exactly, the two universes would both mirror each other until time ran out. It has to do with knowing the quantum state of particles. Unfortunately, you can only know either the place of a particle, or its speed, never both, due to the Hinesburg uncertainty principle. Basically, there is only one way that time can unfold. There is no choice, it's an illusion. Yet time will unfold in the way we choose things. I choose to type this. Or did I? I'm typing it, and I want to type it, but that's all part of how my subatomic particles are lined up and reacting with other particles. I'm typing this because I was predestined to from the moment the universe started.
P.S. I loved all the Matrix movies.
