ARISTOTLE ON DISTINCTION BETWEEN SUBSTANCE AND MATTER INTRODUCTION Aristotle was both a political thinker and a philosopher. So, we can see their effects on his writings. Moreover, he was hugely influenced by his great teacher Plato, who was in turn a disciple of the great thinker Socrates. He discussed about Substance and Matter in his book ‘Metaphysics’ mainly, apart from discussing them in his book ‘Ethics’. Generally, substance and matter are understood to be the same thing. But philosophically

Dark Matter Some scientists now believe it is not the matter we see, but the matter that hides in the dark that holds the true secrets of the universe. There is a mysterious dark matter that binds stars and galaxies together, and this matter might be made up of WIMPS, MACHOS, and axions. Physicists continue searching for dark matter, and particles that make up dark matter. Dark matter has strange characteristics and behaves quite differently from ordinary matter. Understanding dark matter is essential

15. Dark Matter and Dark Energy (1500 to 2000 not including references) Explain both concepts and the differences between them. Describe the observations that led to the hypothesis that dark matter is an important component of the Universe. Describe the suggested constituents of the dark matter. There have been many attempts to understand the world we live in, ranging from studies of objects as small in size as DNA to the study of massive objects as galaxy clusters and even the whole universe.

Dark matter is the idea of unseen matter in the universe that affects the gravitation and mass of varying objects, such as stars and galaxies. Dark matter is hard to see and find because unlike matter, it does not reflect or emit light. It also does not affect the electromagnetic fields in the universe (CERN 1). Dark matter can either be “hot” or “cold.” “Cold” dark matter means when the big bang occurred it was not moving fast enough to affect the formation of galaxies. Dark matter can also be “hot

States of matter are the distinct forms that different phases of matter take on. Historically, the distinction is made based on qualitative differences in bulk properties. Solid is the state in which matter maintains a fixed volume and shape; liquid is the state in which matter maintains a fixed volume but adapts to the shape of its container; and gas is the state in which matter expands to occupy whatever volume is available. This diagram shows the nomenclature for the different phase transitions

Matter is defined as anything that occupies space and can be perceived by one or more senses; a physical body, a physical substance, or the universe as a whole. There are four distinct states of matter: solids, liquids, gases, and plasma. There are other states of matter such as Bose-Einstein condensates and neutron degenerate matter, but those states can only be found under extreme conditions. These phases can go from one to another when affected by certain things, which is known as phase changes

System that is causing the planets to alter their trajectory. This lead scientists to believe in the existence of dark matter and so began investigations and experiments to learn whether it actually existed or not (Start with a bang, 2013). Concepts and differences- The theory of dark matter stems from the fact that there is not enough normal matter, as the gravity of normal matter isn’t strong enough to form galaxies and complex structures. The stars will more likely be disorganized and not form galaxies

Matter Word Assignment 1.) Matter is anything that has mass (a measure of the quantity of an object (g, kg)) and volume (a measure of space taken up (mL, L)). Matter is also made up of tiny particles and can be found as solids, liquids, gas, plasma, and bose-einstein. 2.) Aristotle proposed Earth, Water, Air, and Fire as the 4 states of matter. 3.) The 4 states of matter that we now accept in modern time are solids (a substance in a solid phase is relatively rigid, has a definite volume and shape

“Dark matter is a hypothesized form of matter particle that does not reflect or emit electromagnetic radiation. The existence of dark matter is inferred from gravitational effects on visible matter, such as stars and galaxies”(Andrew Zimmerman Jones). Dark matter is crucial to the study of the universe and the existence of the human race. Since either dark matter or dark energy have neither been actually observed and all theories, we will be evaluating them from scientific standpoint. Since most

A Study Of Dark Matter Contribution to the Universe and Dark Matter Candidates Aditi Sharma, Boris S. Kalita, Harshit Sharma, Rohit Kumar Singla Abstract Dark Matter has been one of the most researched topic in the recent era of science. Even though we have observed e ects of this exotic entity, we are yet to understand its structural form. Thus we are forced to hunt for clues that would help in a better understanding of this component which forms 26:8% of the entire universe. This report delves
