15311 | Attraction or repulsion are not imparted to matter, but actually constitute it [Priestley] |
17402 | Mendeleev saw three principles in nature: matter, force and spirit (where the latter seems to be essence) [Mendeleev, by Scerri] |
21706 | At first matter is basic and known by sense-data; later Russell says matter is constructed [Russell, by Linsky,B] |
6470 | Matter is the limit of appearances as distance from the object diminishes [Russell] |
7547 | Matter requires a division into time-corpuscles as well as space-corpuscles [Russell] |
7551 | Matter is a logical construction [Russell] |
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] |
20626 | Modern theories of matter are grounded in heat, work and energy [Close] |
6551 | 'Physical' means either figuring in physics descriptions, or just located in space-time [Lycan] |
9574 | 'Gunk' is an individual possessing no parts that are atoms [Chihara] |
20654 | Only four particles are needed for matter: up and down quark, electron, electron-neutrino [Watson] |
14900 | In physics, matter is an emergent phenomenon, not part of fundamental ontology [Ladyman/Ross] |
14937 | That the universe must be 'made of' something is just obsolete physics [Ladyman/Ross] |
17411 | If all elements are multiples of one (of hydrogen), that suggests once again that matter is unified [Scerri] |
17420 | The stability of nuclei can be estimated through their binding energy [Scerri] |
20465 | Nature has three aspects: granularity, indeterminacy, and relations [Rovelli] |
22630 | If particles have decay rates, they can't really be elementary, in the sense of indivisible [Ingthorsson] |
