Energy is that which moves, and is the substance from which everything is made [Heisenberg]
|
|
17541
|
Energy is an unchanging substance, having many forms, and causing all change [Heisenberg]
|
27. Natural Reality / B. Modern Physics / 2. Electrodynamics / b. Fields

Maxwell introduced real fields, which transferred forces from point to point [Heisenberg]
|
27. Natural Reality / B. Modern Physics / 2. Electrodynamics / d. Quantum mechanics
|
17533

The strong force pulls, but also pushes apart if nucleons get too close together [Inwagen]
|
27. Natural Reality / B. Modern Physics / 4. Standard Model / a. Concept of matter
|
17532
|
An atom's stability after collisions needs explaining (which Newton's mechanics can't do) [Heisenberg]
|
|
17537
|
Position is complementary to velocity or momentum, so the whole system is indeterminate [Heisenberg]
|
|
17551
|
It was formerly assumed that electromagnetic waves could not be a reality in themselves [Heisenberg]
|
27. Natural Reality / C. Space / 4. Substantival Space

27. Natural Reality / D. Time / 3. Parts of Time / e. Present moment
|
17552
|
In relativity the length of the 'present moment' is relative to distance from the observer [Heisenberg]

27. Natural Reality / F. Chemistry / 2. Modern Elements
|
17559
|

|
17584

Some events are only borderline cases of lives [Inwagen]
|
|
17569
|
Unlike waves, lives are 'jealous'; it is almost impossible for them to overlap [Inwagen]
|
|
17568
|
A tumour may spread a sort of life, but it is not a life, or an organism [Inwagen]
|
|
17581
|
Being part of an organism's life is a matter of degree, and vague [Inwagen]
|
|
17570
|
The chemical reactions in a human life involve about sixteen elements [Inwagen]
|
|
17585
|
Life is vague at both ends, but could it be totally vague? [Inwagen]
|
|
17567
|
A flame is like a life, but not nearly so well individuated [Inwagen]
|
|
17576
|
If God were to 'reassemble' my atoms of ten years ago, the result would certainly not be me [Inwagen]
