 |  |  | Matter: Encyclopedia II - Matter - Matter in ScienceIn physics, it is everything that is constituted of elementary fermions. Matter occupies space and has mass. It is composed predominantly of atoms, which consist of protons, neutrons, and electrons. All gauge bosons (of which the photon is one), which mediate the four fundamental forces, are not considered matter, even though they certainly have energy and some also mass.
Matter thus consists of quarks and leptons. There are six types of quarks (strange, charm, top, bottom, up, and down) which combine to form hadrons, primarily baryon ...

 |  |  | Matter: Encyclopedia II - Gnosticism - MatterSome Gnostics, again in common with such Neoplatonic philosophers as Plotinus, held matter to be evil, but only as a method of depicting its extreme distance from the monadic source of the universe (which is, of course, supremely good). Thus matter is not evil in and of itself, but only in its distance from and its contrast to its monadic source (compare summum bonum). Many Gnostics also made use of ritual; these rituals being the manipulation of material objects in imitation of divine events or occurrences, this presupposes at least the abi ...

 |  |  | Matter: Can Consciousness Be Reduced To Matter? Francis Crick, the co-discoverer of the DNA, presented what he called the “Astonishing Hypothesis”: Human behaviour is merely the sum of a vast assembly of nerve cells and their associated molecules. But, can human consciousness be explained in physical terms? Those who embrace challenge the validity of Crick’s astonishing hypothesis. Scientists, however, claim that mind and consciousness are only a pack of neurons, made up of a chain of lifeless molecules and atoms. Therefore, it can be fully explained in terms of “lower level sciences” of chemistry and physics.

 |  |  | Matter: Nature Of Matter We shall now take it for granted that matter, physical objects, the external world exist e.g. that there is a real table which exists independently of our sensations and of which the sensed qualities are the appearances. The question is then: What is that matter like? To this question science provides one answer and it is very different from the answer of common sense belief.

 |  |  | Matter: Mind is Matter - Nurture It Results of recent studies published in the British Journal of Psychiatry pronounce that diet has a direct bearing on the behaviour of juvenile delinquents. Certain types of food brought about - though very gradually - distinct changes in the behavioural pattern of the delinquents. Foods affect animal behaviour as well. For instance, a dog fed on raw meat for any length of time turns out to be more ferocious than a similar breed fed on vegetarian foods. Sastras explain that mind is also matter, albeit subtle, and, like the body, is nourished by food. The Chandogya Upanishad says: "Mind consists of food, prana (life force) of water and speech of fire."

 |  |  | Matter: The Existence Of Matter Our fixed point of reference is the existence of our sense data, and what they are like. But the existence of the Self, the 'subject' of those sense data, is as questionable as that of the physical objects, the 'objects' of those sense data. Different people looking at the same thing consider the physical object as accounting for the unity of various perspectives. This begs the question, as to whether anything at all exists beyond my sense data.

 |  |  | Matter: Encyclopedia II - Dark matter - CompositionData from a number of lines of evidence, including galaxy rotation curves, gravitational lensing, structure formation, and the fraction of baryons in clusters and the cluster abundance combined with independent evidence for the baryon density, indicate that 85-90% of the mass in the universe does not interact with the electromagnetic force. This "dark matter" is evident through its gravitational effect. Several categories of dark matter have been postulated.
Hot dark matter
Warm dark matter
Cold dark ...

 |  |  | Matter: Encyclopedia II - Dark matter - Alternative explanationsAn alternative to dark matter is to suppose that the inconsistencies are due to an incomplete understanding of gravitation. One task could be given through the need of conciling gravitation with quantum mechanics and to explain mass and its creation (Higgs) within gravitation, as in some scalar-tensor theories, which couple scalar fields like the Higgs field to the curvature given through the Riemann tensor or its traces. In many of such theories, the scalar field equals the inflaton field, which is needed in some theories for explaining the inflation of the universe after the Big Bang, as t ...
