I'm a poor philosopher, so may have missed the point.
I seem to remember Aristotle (?) claiming for example that it was an essence or quality which makes a thing say big or small. That a thing is big because it contains the essence /quality of 'bigness'
Was it Aristotle who claimed that the speed of light was instantaneous?
