Sentences with phrase «describing subatomic»

Reviewing the evidence at Polkinghorne's birthday conference at Oxford last July, Russell concluded that the best place to seek scientific support for God is in quantum mechanics, the physical laws describing the subatomic realm.

The hold of substantialist metaphysics was so strong that, when the substantialist concepts failed to describe the subatomic entities, most scientists inclined to the view that no conceptual grasp is possible.

Devised by Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger in 1925, it describes subatomic particles and how they may display wavelike properties such as interference.

Paul Dirac developed a theory that combined quantum mechanics, used to describe the subatomic world, with Einstein's special relativity, which says nothing travels faster than light.

Not exact matches

And yet, many decades later, quaternions were put to use to describe properties of subatomic particles such as the spin of electrons as well as the relation between neutrons and protons.

The very notion of a «field», such as the Higgs field, is a mathematical and physical model describing the interrelationship of matter at the subatomic level, what Holloway would have called an «equational» relationship since in this vision (that espoused by Faith movement) the cosmos is a vast, ordered equation.

To do so would require not only describing all its constituent parts, down to its subatomic particles, but also its relationships to all other things, that is, its relationship to the whole cosmos.

We have a pretty darn good mathematical model and theory that describes the behavior electrons in elemental atoms and other subatomic particles in nature.

The analysis of the subatomic entities leads to quanta of energy that are much better described as energy - events than as substances.

The other is quantum mechanics, which describes what happens at the atomic and subatomic scale.

The theory that describes it, general relativity, assumes that space and time are smooth and continuous, whereas the underlying quantum physics that governs subatomic particles and forces is inherently discontinuous and jumpy.

With great precision, it describes all known matter — all the subatomic particles such as quarks and leptons — as well as the forces by which those particles interact with one another.

With the discovery of the Higgs boson, the last missing piece, the SM of particle physics now accounts for all known subatomic particles and correctly describes their interactions.

That fact suggests something is wrong with Standard Model equations describing symmetry between subatomic particles and their antiparticles.

The new research analyzes the plasma surrounding the pulsar by coupling Einstein's theory of relativity with quantum mechanics, which describes the motion of subatomic particles such as the atomic nuclei — or ions — and electrons in plasma.

What would classical chaos, which lurks everywhere in our world, do to quantum mechanics, the theory describing the atomic and subatomic worlds?

Such fuzziness brings us back to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, which describes how measuring the location of a subatomic particle inherently blurs its momentum and vice versa.

Although this statement seems absurd, it describes a very real behavior that subatomic particles exhibit.

Currently, the universe we live in obeys two seemingly incompatible laws — quantum mechanics, which governs the behavior of subatomic particles; and relativity, which describes how clumps of atoms, such as humans, stars and galaxies, behave.

So the very existence of matter suggests something is wrong with Standard Model equations describing symmetry between subatomic particles and their antiparticles.

The Schrödinger Equation is the foundation of quantum mechanics: It describes the non-intuitive behavior of systems at atomic and subatomic scales.

The discovery of the Higgs boson represents the final piece of the puzzle in the Standard Model of particle physics, a theory that describes how three of the four fundamental forces — electromagnetic, weak and strong nuclear forces — interact at the subatomic level (but does not include gravity).
