For now the two are inseparable, but in an early stages of universe formation, it would be interesting to know if photon came first or if momentum came first. > 2 length and time > > 3 torque=energy=work=heat > > 4 angular momentum = h > > 5 force > > 6 mass > > 7 charge > > 8 tensors > > 9 bra-ket wave function > > 10 groups > > 11 symmetry > > 12 gauge bosons > > 13 gluons > > 14 Higgs theory > > 15 sub-particle infinitude > > 16 Temperature > > Conclusion: I expect that linear momentum into each proton makes gravity > and expansion of distant spaces.
