The succession of theories of the atom, for example, exhibits no «convergence» in descriptions of the nature of fundamental particles, but oscillates between continuity and discontinuity, field conceptions and particle conceptions, and even speculatively among different topologies of space.39

An alternative way to escape Zeno was, of course, to have space and time be continuous, with no atomic particles whatever.

One must not confuse our idea of a representation space for an event with that of a state space for a dynamic system, which in the case of a one - particle system would also require a momentum vector.

Those who believed that somehow the soul could also be explained in terms of the little particles of matter that scurried about in space and time could not believe in any such other sphere.

We are aware that all material beings are composite, composed of atoms, that these particles are discrete within the continuity they integrate, that in themselves even they are miniature solar systems, and that these orbits are wide open spaces in relation to the miniature elementswhich are bound within them: bound and determined by the fixed laws that define the still mysterious phenomena of centrifugal and centripetal force.

The units of which the world is made up were thought to be material particles which remained unchanged in themselves as they moved about in space and formed the diverse configurations which made up the physical objects in our world.

According to Russell, it was Whitehead who persuaded him to substitute logical constructions composed of events for the smooth logical properties of mathematical physics, such as points of space, instants of time, and particles of matter.

Of course, in the above example one may, if one wishes, explain the implicate order as the result of a distribution of the particles of ink, which can ultimately be understood in terms of the ordinary explicate order of space and timOf course, in the above example one may, if one wishes, explain the implicate order as the result of a distribution of the particles of ink, which can ultimately be understood in terms of the ordinary explicate order of space and timof a distribution of the particles of ink, which can ultimately be understood in terms of the ordinary explicate order of space and timof the particles of ink, which can ultimately be understood in terms of the ordinary explicate order of space and timof ink, which can ultimately be understood in terms of the ordinary explicate order of space and timof the ordinary explicate order of space and timof space and time.

I start from Einstein's great discovery that the physical field in the neighborhood of an event - particle should be defined in terms of ten elements... According to Einstein such elements merely define the properties of space and time in the neighborhood.

Consistently with this Einstein sought to resolve the remaining dualism of matter and space by conceiving matter as an attribute of space, the particles being singularities of the metrical field.

Explaining Bohm's work, Timothy Ferris suggests that «the universe began as a hyperdimensional bubble of space, all but four of the dimensions of which compacted to form what we today call subatomic particles.

He is trying to get to natural units which are not instantaneous, because, as we said, he was gunning for what he saw as the materialist notion of particles of matter at an instant and at a point in space.

Thus we may think that, as the direction of motion in space may change, the time direction may change too; as a material particle may reverse its motion and pass again through the positions previously occupied, «the moving present» can also return to the past; or as the motions in space may be circular, the course of time may be circular too.

Goper reation according to the Divine Word of God Genesis 1 science in CAPS; FIRST CAUSE «In the beginning God» (v1)-- we are given the first cause, causation BIG BANG «created the heavens and the earth» (v1)-- matter and energy created, singularity establishing time and space «Earth dark formless mass «(v 2)-- chaotic sub atomic particles STAR IGNITION «Let there be light» (Day One)-- God was the light or light from reionizing the universe PLANETARY ACCRETION = > EARTH, MOON = > WATER = > ATMOSPERE «Separated the waters to make atmosphere» (Day Two)-- molten earth or water forming atmosphere as cools.

According to quantum mechanics, fleeting pairs of particles and antiparticles are constantly appearing out of empty space, only to annihilate and disappear in the blink of an eye.

New observations of the whirling cores of dead stars have deepened the mystery behind a glut of antimatter particles raining down on Earth from space.

If high - energy particles from deep space, called cosmic rays, happened to hit one of those hydrogen atoms, it became ionized, stripped of its electron.

This roiling froth of «virtual» particles adds energy to empty space itself, though so far the theory predicts far more energy than we actually see.

According to quantum field theory, even the vacuum of space is a lively soup of particles and fields popping up out of nowhere.

Large space - weather events, such as geomagnetic storms, can alter the incoming radio waves — a distortion that scientists can use to determine the concentration of plasma particles in the upper atmosphere.

It allows particles, such as electrons or photons of light, the equivalent of an interest - free loan: they may borrow energy from empty space and use it to make mass, according to Einstein's famous equation E = mc2.

Telescopes are also on the lookout for telltale gamma rays from space, in case dark matter commits the particle version of suicide and self - destructs.

This effect arises from quantum mechanics, which states that a sea of transient particles and antiparticles pervades all of space.
