No, I don’t think it’s too much of a stretch for ponies to have some version of a kinetic molecular theory of matter, why do you ask?
Also, a little while ago there was a session of The Borrowers, our side campaign to The Forgotten Ones, and it’s now available for your listening/viewing pleasure!

DM: Celestia leads you on a walk through the mysterious plane, and as she does so, images of your shared memories appear alongside you. From the moment you became her personal student to very recently.Twilight Sparkle: Huh. That’s not… portentous at all.
Princess Celestia: Still waiting on the answer to that hypothetical, Twilight.
Twilight Sparkle: Well… I dunno! I think you won’t be surprised to find out that I’m not a big fan of the idea of “destiny.” That everything’s pre-determined and that our choices and actions are just illusions. I mean, philosophically they kind of are, but… More in the sense that we’re all atoms bouncing off each other in space. Every day the world turns should be a miracle – an unexpected surprise.
Princess Celestia: So you’d say the universe isn’t set in stone, but is in many ways measurable. And perhaps someone who’d been watching the velocity of everything for a very long time… could predict where those atoms might end up. Would that be “destiny”?
Twilight Sparkle: …I think, in this case, it might be better to drop the metaphor and say what you really mean.
Princess Celestia: True, we got a little lost in the weeds there. You’ve always been a gifted student of magic. But when you unlocked the Elements of Harmony on the first day of what I thought would be Equestria’s longest night… I had a feeling this moment was coming. It was only a matter of time.
