WhakamĀrama Āpitihanga
He korekore kei roto i tētahi pūrama ratarata (arā, kua momia ake te hau takiwā o roto) hei tiaki i te waea rauangi, kia kore ai e tauhohe me te hau takiwā, kia kore ai e whati i te wera:
He whaitua, kāore he matū o roto. Mēnā e nuku ana tētahi mea i roto i te korekore, kāore he tōpana waku hei ātete i te nuku o taua mea, nō reira ka haere mō ake tonu atu. He wāhi korekore te ātea (ki tua atu i te kōhauhau o Papatūānuku), nō reira kāore he tōpana ātete i te nuku o ngā aorangi – ka amio haere tonu, ka takahuri haere tonu mō ake tonu atu.
A region completely empty of matter. If an object is moving in a vacuum, there is no force of friction to oppose the motion, therefore the object will keep moving forever. Space (beyond the Earth’s atmosphere) is a vacuum, there is no force opposing the orbit and rotation of the planets, therefore they keep moving forever.
kore - nothingness
