I am still having trouble with the idea that "purely statistically" entities have motion as one of their properties. I struggle with this idea because of the theory that there is "no free lunch." As I shared in class, this theory means that every action has a cause--nothing happens without it originating from somewhere. The metaphor comes from the idea that if you get lunch for free, someone has paid for it. It can be extended past just that one step if the person who was the benefactor for the lunch go it for free herself. But then the chef is paying for it. And if the chef is not then the restaurant is. And if the restaurant is then the grocery store is. And if the grocery store is not then the farmer is. And if the farmer is not the earth is paying for the multitude of crop. And the earth is paying in energy. It all always ends in payment in energy. 

So if it call comes down to energy, where does it come from? Is this just like asking the question why are we alive? Does it all get back to the Big Question of creation and god? Why don't we have an answer? How is it possible that energy can just be a property?
