Continuous matter refers to the concept in physics and philosophy that matter can be divided infinitely without losing its properties, suggesting that it exists in a continuous form rather than as discrete particles. This idea contrasts with the atomic theory, which posits that matter is composed of indivisible units called atoms. Continuous matter is often associated with classical models of physics, where substances are treated as uniform and homogenous. In modern science, the wave-particle duality of quantum mechanics has challenged this classical view, suggesting a more complex relationship between matter and energy.
What else can I help you with?
Is matter atomistic or continuous?
is continuous because of individuals forms and qualities
How do you use continuous division method to find the GCF of 160?
It doesn't matter what method you use, you need at least two numbers to find a GCF.
Are mountains discrete or continuous?
Mountains are continuous.
Is the gaussian distribution discrete or continuous?
It is continuous.
Is the exponential distribution discrete or continuous?
Continuous
Is matter smooth and continuous?
No it is not.
Is matter atomistic or continuous?
is continuous because of individuals forms and qualities
Is matter particulate or continuous?
yes, matter continues or particulate
Why is matter continuous in form?
Matter appears continuous at macroscopic scales due to the large number of atoms and molecules packed closely together, creating the illusion of a continuous substance. At the microscopic level, matter is composed of discrete particles, such as atoms and molecules, but their sheer number and proximity give the appearance of continuity.
In ancient Greece Who thought matter was continuous?
Aristotle =]]
Who came up with the continuous matter theory?
Aristotle
Who believed matter was continuous?
Aristotle "Modern Chemistry" by Holt, Rinehart, and Winston
Is matter continuous in form?
It isn't. It only looks continuous (sometimes), because the individual pieces (the atoms) are much smaller than anything we can see.
What ancient greek thought matter was continuous?
The ancient Greek philosopher Heraclitus believed that matter was continuous and constantly changing, emphasizing the concept of becoming rather than being. He proposed that everything is in a state of flux, and that change is the only constant in the universe.
What did Aristotle and Democritus think about matter together?
Aristotle believed that matter is continuous and composed of the four elements (earth, water, air, fire), with no smallest particles. Democritus proposed that matter is made up of indivisible particles called atoms, which vary in size and shape. Their views were contradictory, with Aristotle advocating for continuous matter and Democritus proposing the existence of discrete particles.
Who thought matter was continuous?
Democritus - Greek philosopher who believed in the 'marble' atomic model.John Dalton - Came up with the first atomic theory, in which he also believed atoms were indivisible.
What is the difference between discontinuous and continuous variation?
Continuous theory of matter says that matter comes in long continuous sheets,it never breaks while the discontinuous theory of matter assumes that matter comes in smaller packets and the reason why matter looks continuous is because we can't magnify it enough to see the small packets of matter. Continuous variation or continuous matter is gradual, something that is not so clear cut. For example, height can vary amongst population and there are many different heights. Discontinuous variation or matter is where you are either in one category or the other, but never in between. Examples of this are: Blood group - you are either O, A, AB, ABO but never anything in between. Another example would be tongue rolling - you can either tongue roll or you can't.
