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]

Radiation interference needs waves, but radiation photoelectric effects needs particles [Heisenberg]
|
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

|
27. Natural Reality / D. Time / 3. Parts of Time / e. Present moment

The present does not exist, so our immediate experience is actually part past and part future [Chrysippus, by Plutarch]
|
20821
|
Time is continous and infinitely divisible, so there cannot be a wholly present time [Chrysippus, by Stobaeus]
