it's all about potential and kinetic energy and shit however a "prime mover" really doesn't solve this conundrum in physics, is a mere theory and cannot be proven... it is also not even necessary to many a mind to have to posit for movement in the universe

and so some in philosophy have adopted the THEORY of a prime mover as "proof" of a god... it does not prove a god and it does not even necessarily exist
i'm starting small with closed machines.
in a machine the prime mover is the plant of Force. On a bicycle, the prime mover is the pedal blade which turns the chain, which turn the wheels. The prime mover's excitation is your feet pushing the pedals.
