One can apply it to the mathematized, mechanistic universe... showing it needs a pusher of sorts.
But such an argument may be embarrassed by momentum (as I am by my spellllling), etc.
Secondly one can apply it to entelecheia-rich universe: here the first mover is a final cause. But there is also the need for the first moving mover, which is not pushed but acts for the sake of a final cause. And that final cause is an unmoved mover. The latter is a more adequate consideration of motion.
