It begins by assuming that two things existed, which the theory does not try to explain. It assumes that matter and force existed, but it does not tell us how matter and force came into existence, where they came from, or why they came.

I shall see your father next week, perhaps. Shall I give him any message for you?" "No, sir! For God's sake, don't let him know a word about where you have seen me.

I knew beforehand she would say so; I was quite prepared for it; I only answered, it was not for me to contradict my Mistress; I must go.
