Birch and Cobb maintain that the ecological model is more adequate than the mechanical model for explaining DNA, the cell, other biological subject matter (as well as subatomic physics), because it holds that living things behave as they do only in interaction with other things which constitute their environment (LL 83) and because «the constituent elements of the structure at each level (of an organism) operate in patterns of interconnectedness which are not mechanical» (LL 83).

Curiously, though the discoveries of subatomic physics signal to some a breakdown of modern dualism, the implications of such discoveries have been slow to penetrate most people's consciousness (including that of many scientists), and they may in fact merely lead to another sort of dualism.

In one model, cosmologists propose that dark energy emerges from the fuzzy laws of quantum physics, which govern the subatomic realm.

Einstein also failed to deliver an all - encompassing theory of «quantum gravity» — one that reconciled the laws of gravity observed on the scale of stars and galaxies with the laws of quantum mechanics, the branch of physics that explains the behavior of particles in the subatomic realm.

The ghostly subatomic particles seem to have zipped faster than light from the particle physics laboratory near Geneva, Switzerland, to a detector in Italy.

We are spared such paradoxes because the rules of quantum physics seem confined to subatomic objects — in the human - scale world, a cat is either alive or dead.

Quantum mechanics govern the behavior of matter at the atomic and subatomic levels in exotic and counterintuitive ways as compared to the everyday world of classical physics.

Early on, two teams had spied a telltale anomaly in the subatomic wreckage: an excess of energy from proton collisions that hinted at new physics perhaps produced by WIMPs (or, to be fair, many additional exotic possibilities).

A physicist who studies elementary subatomic particles and their role in the evolution of the universe, Bellerive holds the position of Canada Research Chair in Experimental Particle Physics at Carleton University in Ottawa and works closely with the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO).

That is because, on some basic level, atoms and all subatomic things are invisible — not just in the trivial sense that they are too small to see but also in that, according to quantum physics, they do not have a well - defined position.

As I understand it, the basic theory is that incoming charged particles provide additional cloud condensation nucleii (like the cloud chambers used as detectors in early subatomic physics), that the rate of incoming particles is modulated by the magnetic fields of the sun and earth, and that therefore the amount of cloud cover varies with the particle flux, which in turn drives climate, so we can stop worrying about CO2.
