In the early twentieth century, the particles were understood as atoms.

Not exact matches

But as long as one is committed to substantialist thinking, one assumes that in the ultimate analysis the event can be understood in terms of matter in motion — atoms moving around in the void.

atoms... all brought about by the scientific method have evidence as to their the reason why things are the way they are... NOT god... in EVERY instance god has proven not to be what it is... the reason a volcano explodes is not because the wrath of god is upon a community... we understand the process behind the event but we didn't always KNOW that.

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.

Today atoms are understood not as tiny things but as structured units with a nucleus and protons, electrons, etc..

For Whitehead, the universe is not made of bits of stuff that can be understood as particles or atoms.

Todays scientists do scoff at such an idea and they have renamed an old fling to call these «elemental gods as being atoms putting to bed the ancient Theological philosophers» understandings.

We believe that it will also prompt new experiments focusing on the dynamical properties of the atoms at nanostructures, allowing us to understand the contribution of the previously little probed dynamical structure studies of atomic clusters, towards the physical properties such as catalytic relativities.»

Either way, the new particle could be a tool to unlock a deeper understanding of the fundamental «strong» force that binds quarks together to form protons and neutrons, which in turn form atoms — as well as planets, stars, galaxies and people.

Combining quantum mechanics — the newly developed framework for describing the world of the atom — with Einstein's revised notions of space and time as expressed in his «relativity ideas» is related to understanding the interaction of light with matter.

But it took until the eclipses of 1868 and 1869, when the spectral signatures of atoms in the corona were first discovered, for us to start understanding it as an actual astrophysical place instead of just a shining mirage.

Ultracold atoms in the so - called optical lattices, that are generated by crosswise superposition of laser beams, have been proven to be one of the most promising tools for simulating and understanding the behaviour of many - body systems such as solid crystals — for example with respect to their electric or magnetic properties.

While it has been understood for some time now that tRNAs are heavily decorated with small chemical groups such as methyls (carbon atoms bound to three hydrogens), the unprecedented discovery that one of these modifications can be removed suggests that tRNA has a regulatory role in the process of protein translation through chemical changes in itself.

In an age when there were no microscopes to penetrate living cells and no understanding of the nature of atoms and molecules, the alchemists were not misguided so much as misinformed, doing their best to make sense of a world they could not see.

Understanding how these complex molecules do their job depends on knowing the spatial arrangement of atoms and how their structure changes as they interact with light.

And along with sodium and potassium, feldspar dust particles are inevitably studded with zillions of rubidium and cesium atoms as well — Thanx Eli - one begins to understand that it isn't ll physics!

I understand (to some extent) how individual atoms can radiate specific frequency spectral lines, as a result of energy level transitions of an electron in that atom.

To understand their emission and absorption, we must consider the structure of atoms, as described by Quantum Mechanics.

One very little understood property of matter (atoms, molecules, etc) is that their real life emittance (thus absorption) changes as a function of their internal temperature and outside temperature (thermal radiation field).
