Ask PrometheusHaving much matter in a place, which resists motion when pushed.
Heavy (adjective) means: Having much matter in a place, which resists motion when pushed. It emerges from matter, big: Matter in a place interacts with space to resist motion, and when that resistance is greater than usual, the effect is perceived as heavy. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 21, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
