Not exact matches

So if Santayana is not an «event ontologist» like Whitehead, it is not because he thinks ordinary continuants or «primary substances» are ontologically more basic than events, which he does not, but because he speaks of the derivation of one event from another as the transmission of matter or substance, in the sense of ulh, from one to another.

But if that is the case, why are there so few public statements, with the «conservative» label attached to them, that tell us exactly what policy should be in the matter of education, welfare provision, environmental protection, planning law, urbanization, infrastructure, and everything else that matters to the ordinary citizen?

So Whitehead's reply to Berkeley is, in effect, that matter really does matter in the ordinary sense of the word, since whatever acquires material existence is always capable of influencing by means of signs the becomings of subsequent «things.»

These shells would be connected by a wormhole, so Alice and Bob could jump in (they would have to «merge themselves with the matter forming the shells») and meet «in some place outside ordinary spacetime.»

For instance, one theory holds that when the quark - gluon soup turned into more ordinary matter, it did so in lumps that eventually gave rise to galaxies and clusters of galaxies.

Most likely, though, it is simply a new elementary particle that doesn't have the usual interactions associated with the standard model, the reigning physics theory that so far explains the known forces governing the fundamental particles of ordinary matter.

Adding up all the dark forms of ordinary matter (gas clouds, brown dwarfs, black holes, and so on) still leaves 95 percent of the mass in the universe unaccounted for.

It is dark after all, so it doesn't interact in any significant way with ordinary matter.

So one might think that the stars» motions would be uncorrelated with ordinary matter.

The glow seemed consistent with the size and shape of the matter needed to make ngc 5907 spin the way it does, so astronomers hoped that this might be the first sign that the dark halos were made of ordinary stars and planets — albeit faint ones — rather than exotic, yet - to - be discovered particles.

Some forms of dark matter allow detection through small interactions with ordinary matter that have so far evaded detection.

They feel only the weak force responsible for radioactive decay and the weaker force of gravity, so they can begin to cluster under the action of gravity earlier than ordinary matter.

Antimatter annihilates on contact with ordinary matter, so the anti-atoms disappear in a shower of secondary particles, known as pions, when they hit the walls of the trap.

Today, there is a number of detectors placed approximately a couple of kilometres below Earth's surface, and there is a very specific reason for their placement so far below ground: if dark matter interacts weakly with ordinary matter (as also the neutrinos do), only these two species can penetrate kilometres of Earth's crust without being stopped.

But our models of the universe also say there should be about twice as much ordinary matter out there, compared with what we have observed so far.

Dark matter's presence has for decades been inferred from its gravitational effects on large - scale structures such as galaxy clusters, but because it does not interact much with ordinary matter and does not emit or absorb light — hence the «dark» moniker — it has so far proved impossible to observe firsthand.

Dark matter, so known because it refuses to emit or interact with light in a way that we can see, is nearly six times as prevalent as ordinary matter.

These numbers are corroborated by studies of the afterglow of the big bang — the so - called cosmic microwave background (CMB)-- which suggests that our universe is made of roughly 70 % dark energy, 23 % dark matter, and only 4.6 % of ordinary, or baryonic, matter.

So I start by describing how we understand the origin of mass of ordinary matter, for normal matter, the stuff you and I are made out of, really starting from constituents that have zero mass, realizing Einstein's dream of reducing mass to energy explaining how mass arises from energy, which is a more basic concept.

The result may be pointing to evidence of neutrinos and antineutrinos oscillating into a fourth kind of neutrino or antineutrino, a so - called «sterile» version that doesn't interact with ordinary matter, says Carlo Giunti, a physicist at the University of Turin in Italy.

The antiprotons tend to congregate several hundred kilometers above Earth, where ordinary matter is so scarce that they are unlikely to meet up with their particle counterparts — protons — and destroy each other on contact.

The trouble is the stuff stubbornly refuses to interact with ordinary matter, except through gravity, so has not been conclusively detected.

In addition to these particles, there are heavier particles, which don't appear in ordinary matter because there's so heavy; they're unstable and they decay into the particle's I mentioned — electrons, neutrinos and the two lightest types of quarks.

They are known as WIMPs (for weakly interacting massive particles), and if they exist, these particles have masses tens or hundreds of times greater than that of a proton but interact so weakly with ordinary matter that they're difficult to detect.

Control of our currency rightfully belongs to Congress, and Congress should tighten controls on the Fed so that its degree of independence is limited to the ordinary matters pertaining to a central bank — preserving the soundness of the currency.

1) that everything was made up of smaller indivisible objects (atoms) 2) that the earth went round the sun 3) that life started in the mud around the edges of the waters of the earth 4) that the wind was a thin substance so thin that it was invisible, but still made of ordinary matter just like the earth and the water
