Limited Power.

Existence is, itself, a power struggle which all things, living or no, take part in. Whenever two objects exist in close enough proximity to effect one another one will always hold power over the other. For power to exist there must be matter, for without matter there would be nothing to control. Nothing can’t control nothing, and if control isn’t possible then power would not exist. Even if only one simple thing, a physical object which does not have any parts, existed in the universe power would still be in existence, for although there would be nothing for even there would be natural laws to govern it and tell it what to do. Cause and effect can be better understood with the knowledge that one thing is holding power over another, and is therefore causing it to act in a certain way. Power exists over matter, and since matter may never be created nor destroyed, so also may power over the conventional powers never be created or destroyed. This means that power may never be created nor destroyed as well, instead it can only be transferred from one thing to another.

The Analogy of the Sand.

Sand on a beach exists in quantities so vast that it would be physically impossible for any human being to count the exact number of grains contained within it; but we also know that the sand on the beach, despite our inability to know its quantity, cannot possibly exist in infinite amounts, for if it did so then there would be nothing else; the sand would consume the entire planet and everything else would exists as mere islands in the midst of an eternal ocean of sand. There would be no escaping the sand of this particular beach. We can therefore conclude that the sand of a beach, although being beyond our ability to number, could theoretically be counted provided the proper tools and measuring devises to undertake such a task.

In the same way we can conclude that matter cannot go on for eternity, and at some point in the universe the physical world comes to an end leaving nothing but a black void beyond. The very existence of empty space that is not confined as islands in the midst of a physical existence is proof of this. On the contrary the physical world exists as islands on a vast sea of nothingness, in a void where absolutely nothing exists. By this we can see that matter is finite, and therefore power must also be finite in nature. Provided the proper tools and equipment it would be possible to break down everything into its fundamental existence (its simple parts, things that have no parts, which must exists for if they didn’t nothing would exists) and know how many of those parts exist in reality.
