We have seen that the concept of «
atom of time» requires that of instant — the very same concept which Whitehead always rejected
as early
as in 19.19 (PNK 2f, 6 - 8; SMW 54, 172).2 Both concepts — «
atom of time» and «instant» — presuppose the notion of simple location in time which Whitehead denounced
as the most dangerous fallacy (SMW 84f, 98, 132).3 His whole doctrine of prehensions is incompatible
with the doctrine of external relations which the atomization of time implies.
everything is made up of
atoms (don't believe me do some research) its the different variables of heat and light and things like that that cause different reactions to make different things and these things when they interact can create something completely different and you and slowly the process of mitosis or miosis starts to work and form stuff hell i learnt that in high school and it was a catholic one at that a millions of years ago i bet the universe was completely different and had things in it that our minds cant even imagine that have since changed over time from action and reaction to what we have today and in another million years who knows
with all the different gases we pump into the air and the weather getting more intense on both ends of the scale life
as we know it will be different the human race will have to evolve to survive and will probibly form into a slightly different species hell maybe well evolve into 2 different species like in the movie time machine
Von Neumann says that
as a result of this interaction
with the electron, the
atom is left in a certain state.
The revolutionary developments already erupting in his own day still confront us
with the relativistic and quantum mechanical portrayals of whatever «
atoms» are deemed ultimate, and even more so than in the life sciences this development within the physical sciences spawned a continuing spiral of philosophic debate
as to their proper interpretation.
They are working the problem backwards
as well
as they can, and have come up
with all of the mathematics required for the protons, electrons, etc and the formation of
atoms and so forth.
First, it would be consistent
with Whitehead's own methodology, in this way to make God the chief exemplar for the understanding of process everywhere else in the world, Secondly, and more importantly, it might help to correct the unfortunate tendency even among Whiteheadians subconsciously to regard actual entities
as atoms, minisubstances which are, so to speak, the building blocks of the world process.
With the atomic theory, Greek philosophy proposed a world of
atoms and the void
as a way to respect logic, yet save appearance.
Today
atoms are understood not
as tiny things but
as structured units
with a nucleus and protons, electrons, etc..
The scientific revolution of the twentieth century has totally revamped the notion of the matter which constitutes nature — matter is now viewed
as internally dynamic, suffused
with energy, this being the relation between matter and energy so vividly apparent when an
atom bomb goes off.
«Nevertheless, just
as I believe that the Book of Scripture illumines the pathway to God, so I believe that the Book of Nature,
with its astonishing details — the blade of grass, the Conus cedonulli, or the resonance levels of the carbon
atom — also suggest a God of purpose and a God of design.
We are in this matter trying to conceive what is most unlike ourselves but superior,
as in dealing
with atoms and particles, we are trying to conceive what is most unlike ourselves but inferior.
In harmony
with the cosmic impulse which leads to the constant disintegration of
atoms and the attendant release of energy, Life (though probably localized on a few rare planets) compels us increasingly to view it
as an underlying current in the flow of which matter tends to order itself upon itself
with the emergence of consciousness.
We would have to think of them,
with Kim,
as ontologically «decomposable into
atoms and other basic physical particles,» to which all causal efficacy would be assigned.
Mutations are indeed not, so far
as we know, selected by any overall purpose favoring evolution; but this is compatible
with there being short - run and very naive purposes, desires, or feelings in the
atoms and molecules constituting the genes,
as well
as in every cell and every metazoan
with a nervous system.
We will be concerned, however,
with mental models of systems which for various reasons can not be represented by replicas, such
as the economy of a nation, the electrons in an
atom or the biblical God.
It may be thought of
as a supermolecule composed principally of C, H, O, N, P and S. Multicellular organisms, including man, are in turn not mere aggregations of cells, but so tightly organized that they may be considered super-super-molecules, ultimately

atoms in the very complex combination.
There can still be local decreases in entropy,
as happens
with all living organisms while they are still alive and in some other situations

So we must endow each and every
atom with some form of «aboriginal consciousness» — «Mind - dust»

as ethylene or carbon monoxide, and then to upgrade those molecules using other processes.
To address this problem, the research team prepared a new family of molecules
with C = M = C cores where the metal was cerium [classed
as a lanthanide] or thorium or uranium [which are classed
as actinides] where two carbon
atoms that are known to be strong donors were forced to be opposite to one another either side of the metal.»
Working in a Harvard Physics Department lab, a team of researchers led by Harvard Professors Mikhail Lukin and Markus Greiner and MIT Professor Vladan Vuletic has developed a special type of quantum computer, known
as a quantum simulator, which is programmed by capturing super-cooled rubidium
atoms with lasers and arranging them in a specific order, then allowing quantum mechanics to do the necessary calculations.
As for what they were doing, once the universe was cool enough to form hydrogen
atoms, it was also cool enough for those elements to start interacting
with each other and combining into molecules.
There are basically two types of lines, those produced by collisions between the
atoms or ions and the electrons in the surrounding gas, which are called collision lines, and which are very bright for elements such
as oxygen, nitrogen and neon, and lines which are produced when ions capture free electrons, which are called recombination lines, and which are bright only for those gases
with the highest abundances in the interstellar medium: hydrogen and helium.
As a result, the data - storing groups of
atoms — which record information magnetically — do not interfere

If that field interacts
with itself, then,
as the infant universe expanded and cooled, the field may have taken on a value or «phase,» which would be a bit like the direction in which nickel
atoms point.

And by extension we regard our kind of matter —
atoms, molecules, rocks, water, air, stars and all of the other things that interact
with visible light —
as the most important kind of matter in the universe.

Crucially, the pattern was a projection of the spacings of the energy levels in the hydrogen

An international team of physicists is preparing XENON100, a simple experiment
with a huge ambition: to record the moment when a bit of dark matter — known
as a weakly interacting massive particle, or WIMP — smacks into the nucleus of an
atom of liquid xenon, triggering a flash of light and an electric charge.
If imbued
with a quantum - mechanical property known

These effects are used to execute basic mathematical operations (quantum gates) between the two
atoms,
as is demonstrated by the Garching team
with two characteristic gate operations.
The ORNL - led study instead provides evidence for the second mechanism, in which one H
atom associates
with an O
atom to make OH and the other H associates
with cerium (Ce) to make CeH — a hydride that may serve

as one two - hundreth of an inch wide — enormous compared
with the particles that make up
atoms.
«This technique allows us to write a piece of beautiful «music»

as an image,» JILA / NIST Fellow Jun Ye said.
Dark
atoms and molecules could perhaps clump together into galactic disks that overlap
with the ordinary matter disks and spiral arms of galaxies such
as Andromeda.
Ye is most excited about the future possibility of using the

as a gravity sensor, to see how quantum mechanics, which operates on very small spatial scales, interacts
with general relativity, the theory of gravity, a macroscopic force.
We can watch single
atoms as they wander across the magnetite surface or bond
with each other.
