Abstract

[The starting point in this chapter is the observation that physics is based on observations of bodies moving around, hence the three fundamental concepts in physics are space, time and body, corresponding to the three quantities distance, time and mass. These three concepts, and their corresponding quantities, are mutually dependent; the definition of one of these quantities presupposes the other two.]
