Default Quantities of matter

Area and volume depend on length and are virtually the same. In previous
threads you showed us you don't understand what weight really means.

In the tiny world you describe, light might be considered one of your
"substances". Describe it's properties using only length and weight,
please.

I'm sick of dumbells like you telling me what I know: In your world
using Unk's 4 momentum, you could probably describe the properties of
light as the way pigs learned to fly.

Length is one dimensional, area is two dimensional, and volume is
three dimensional; they are lengths, existing simultaneously and
mutually; at right angles [perpendicular] to each other:

All "matter" is three dimensional and on Earth or a similar planet it
exerts acting and reacting mutual force: called its weight.

The weight of light is very subtle, and yes it _might_ be considered a
form of substance; perhaps like fire(;^?

ROFL.... that's jusst priceless... maybe fire is a quality of wood too... under
the right conditions, the wood *releases* the fire.
