How does force travel actually?

jewbinson

If the ball did not move, then the universe would not be like it is.

In another theoretical universe, it may be the case that an object disappears as soon as you touch it. I think that there is no real "reason" for force... force just is how it is.

From all this responses, I think, we can safely say, we do not know what force is. When ball 1 hits ball 2, ball 2 moves. Why does it move? We do not know the reason, but it moves.

It could be a combination of the absolute identity of electrons, energy conservation, and the fact that two rotations, done in different orders, end up in different places.

momentum is just the product of mass and velocity.
But then how is it transferred from one body to another if it is not exactly energy?
