Sentences with phrase «subatomic physics»

Subatomic physics refers to the branch of science that studies the fundamental particles and forces that make up atoms and their interactions. It explores the tiniest building blocks of matter, such as electrons, protons, and neutrons, as well as the energy and particles they release or absorb. This field helps us understand the nature and behavior of matter at its most basic level. Full definition
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.
A search committee offered the council a shortlist of three names: Frank Linde, who heads the Dutch National Institute for Subatomic Physics in Amsterdam; Terry Wyatt of the University of Manchester, UK; and Gianotti.
Basically, Earthlings of 2011 are simply not supposed to understand subatomic physics.
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).
The implication of the new subatomic physics was that certainty was replaced by probability, or the notion of tendencies rather than absolutes: «we can never predict an atomic event with certainty; we can only predict the likelihood of its happening»... This directly contradicts the mechanistic model we explored above, and it implies that a subject such as normal birth needs to be looked at as a whole rather than its parts...»
TRIUMF researchers collaborate with the international subatomic physics community.
«We catch hundreds of Rubidium atoms in a magnetic trap and cool them so that they form an ultracold Bose - Einstein condensate,» says Professor Jörg Schmiedmayer from the Institute for Atomic and Subatomic Physics at the Vienna University of Technology.
Other urgent goals include the construction of an underground facility to study exotic subatomic physics — including hypothetical invisible particles known as dark matter — and an expanded effort to search for gravity waves, which are ripples in the structure of space and time.

The human mind has proved capable of comprehending the counterintuitive world of subatomic physics and the cosmic realms of curved spacetime.
Whitehead provided a way of understanding reality that was grounded in ontologically irreducible events, momentary quanta of an order of magnitude appropriate to subatomic physics and the processes by which space - time sequences are constituted.

Across the continent, people were lining up by the millions on one side or the other of a new binary system, being told they were «positive» or «negative» as if they had turned overnight into protons and electrons and everyone spoke of subatomic physics, rather than of who was going to live and who was going to be shunned, endure terrible suffering, and die.
(Or, you know, throw your hands in the air and keep each account as an undifferentiated copy of the whole, like a perfect atom because you're not going to mess around with the subatomic physics nonsense that this involves: particle accelerators are for nerds and supervillains).
