Simple overview of physics  Uploading ....The following table provides a simple, easy to grasp, overview of physics.
Man is limited to perceiving changes ( Events)
occurring at one to four points:
One point is perceived as a point. (Point)
Two points is perceived as a line. (Distance)
Three points is perceived as a surface. (Area)
and four points is perceived as a volume. (Volume)
Note that when changes involve more than four points
man breaks down the changes into the groups listed,
as he is not hardwired to handle higher order dimensions.
I might mention, that some people are hardwired to do so,
and a daughter of George Boole, of Boolean algebra fame,
seems to be the best historical example of this.
Man references observations and changes to
some standard periodic reference system. (His clock)
Physics quantizies the changes at 1,2,3 and 4 points
in terms of the standard reference, and calls the changes
over clock periods, derivatives..
The chart below lists the common names of the physical properties
in terms of their perceived dimensions in the horizontal direction,
and in terms of the derivatives of these properties in the vertical direction.
For example, note that the derivatives of distance,
are velocity, acceleration, jerk, snap, crackle and pop, respectively.
It appears to me that angular momentum is basically jerk times a constant,
that energy equals snap time a constant,
power equals crackle times a constant,
that H is basically pop times a constant,
and that jerk, like angular momentum occurs in little quanta..
**** Chart dimensions are "points" across and "derivatives" down *****

point distance area volume
time^-1 velocity diffusity volume flow
density acceleration phi mass
momentum angular mom viscosity mass flow
force energy pressure spring constant
D power charge poynting vector
J H current capacitance^-1
=================== ===========================
Note that all dimensions are fundamentally referenced to
a standard periodic reference system,
and that all properties must be multiplied
by some constant to express them in the desired units.
For example, distance is fundamentally a time interval (Between two points)
and is multiplied by a constant "C" to be expressed in distance units,
rather than time units. Masses perceived to be fix in media (Time and space)
are perceived as gravitational, and must be multiplied by a constant "G"
in order to differentiate them from masses which are perceived as inertial.
In other words, the constant "C" is used to differentiate between
time periods (A one point/body property) and time intervals (A two point/body property),
and "G: is used to differentiate between a point/body perceived to be fixed in media,
from a point/bodyperceived to be varying in media. For example, in the Sun/Earth system,
the Earth is perceived to be varying in media and it gets the 365.25 days and the
93,000,000 miles, while the Sun is perceived to be fixed in media, so it gets
the "G" so the equations will balance.
