Scenario: “It occurs to you that you need to check a few references for an article you are writing, so you decide to walk over to the library after your office hours. Miracle of miracles! In half an hour, you find your body, all of it, at the front steps of the library, half a mile away. Think of all the molecules that make up your body: each of them has traversed the half-mile, zigzag path from your office to the library, and your whole body is now where it is.” Question: “What explains the spatial displacement of your body from the office to the library? What caused the motion of each and every molecule of your body over the half-mile path?”

“Every force tends to give motion to the body on which it acts; but it may be prevented from doing so by other opposing forces, so that equilibrium results, and the body remains at rest. In this case the force performs no work. But as soon as the body moves under the influence of the force, work is performed.”

Left: a 1999 animation of the walking molecule "kinesin" energetically walking, with two molecular legs, along a protofilament of a microtubule in for the article “The Way Things Move.” [8] Center: a walking kinesin (right), carrying a large load along a microtubule. [6] Right: a walking 26-element human molecule carrying a bundle. The ignorant person will tend to argue that the underlying principle behind the movement of each respective bundle-carrying animated atomic geometry, kinesin and human, respectively, is somehow different; the learned individual, however, will know that chemical thermodynamics sees one point of view to explain the movement of each: namely energy will be conserved and entropy will increase, for each respective process—which translated to the affect that for movement to accrue a free energy coupling action must take place; as the video explains, the movement principles of the smaller molecule, kinesin, have been largely worked out, utilizing ATP / phosphate bond energy release explanations; a logic mostly derived from German physical chemist Fritz Haber's extension of American physical chemist Gilbert Lewis’ chemical thermodynamics work applied to the problem of muscle contraction. The explanation for movement in the human molecule case, is but the same, the details of which are but an extrapolation issue.

“The molecules of higher living things are moved around mostly by the living, vital powers (see: vitalism) of the particular species in which they’re embedded. They’re flown thought the air, galloped across the plains, swung through the jungle, propelled through the water, not by molecular forces or quantum mechanics but by the specific holistic vital and also mental properties—aims, wants, needs—possessed by the organisms in question.”

“Why is there anything except physics?”

“It’s all just quarks and gluons.”

“It is an ironic fact that the felt qualities of conscious experience, perhaps the only things that ultimately matter to us, are often relegated in the rest of philosophy to the status of ‘secondary qualities,’ in the shadowy zone between the real and the unreal, or even jettisoned outright as artifacts of confused minds.”
