Nature of Power

[F = m * a]
Force equals mass times acceleration. That's what physics tells us about the nature of force, i.e. power.
If we would look at history, one of the biggest events that had a huge influence on a local or on international level we happening at a great speed. For such, smaller size armies were accomplishing the goals that could achieve bigger ones in a much shorter range of time. 

Einstein was claiming that it is impossible for us to gain a speed higher than light as we have a mass. In order to be faster than light objects shall not have a mass, for example, the photons. Modern physics proves him to be right. 

But today I am not raising the topic of power from the quantum perspective. I just try to engage you in the debate of what is more essential for the nature of the power itself. Taking into account the abovementioned I used to think that the primary source is its speed or acceleration and not the mass. Now I realise that if there is an acceleration whatsoever there has to be an object that is accelerated, meaning that one can't go without another, whether it would be an atom, a quark, a soundwave, or your muscle reflexes. 

Therefore, perhaps, the former is more important for the desired results whether the latter is the essence.

What do you think about it?
