Matter

Introduction, Basic Definitions and Related Concepts: The Big Bang is pure presumption. It is the cosmological model of the universe whose primary assertion is that the universe has expanded into its current state from a primordial condition of enormous density and temperature. The cosmological argument is a metaphysical argument for the existence of God, or a first mover of the cosmos. The Universe is everything that physically exists: the entirety of space and time, all forms of matter, energy and momentum, and the physical laws and physical constants that govern them. Expand is to increase the size, volume, quantity, or scope of; enlarge: expanded her store by adding a second room. See Synonyms at increase. Primordial is being or happening first in sequence of time; original. [F., fr. L. conditio (better condicio) agreement, compact, condition; con- + a root signifying to show, point out, akin to dicere to say, dicare to proclaim, dedicate.] In physics, density is mass (m) per unit volume (V) �?? the ratio of the amount of matter in an object compared to its volume. Temperature is a degree of hotness or coldness the can be measured using a thermometer. Science considers space to be a fundamental quantity (a quantity which can not be defined via other quantities because other quantities �?? like force and energy �?? are already defined via space). In physics and other sciences, time is considered a fundamental quantity, i.e. one that cannot be defined in terms of other quantities because those other quantities �?? such as velocity, force, energy �?? are already defined in terms of that fundamental quantity (in these cases, both time and another fundamental quantity, space). In physics and other sciences, energy (from the Greek ενε�?γ�?�?, energos, "active, working")^{a title="" href="#_note-0">[1]} is a scalar physical quantity that is a property of objects and systems which is conserved by nature. The effect of motion is called momentum. Physical is of or relating to the body as distinguished from the mind or spirit. See Synonyms at bodily. Law^{a title="" href="#_note-0">[1]/sup> is a system of rules usually enforced through a set of institutions. Constants are real numbers or numerical values which are significantly interesting in some way[1]sup>. Increase is to become progressively greater (as in size, amount, number, or intensity). Physics is the science studying the concept of matter[1]/sup>Mass is a fundamental concept in physics, roughly corresponding to the intuitive idea of "how much matter there is in an object". The volume of a solid object is the three-dimensional concept of how much space it occupies, often quantified numerically. Fundamental is of or relating to the foundation or base; elementary: the fundamental laws of the universe. Quantity is a kind of property which exists as magnitude or multitude. In physics, Force is what causes a mass to accelerate. In physics, velocity is defined as the rate of change of position. Science (from the Latin scientia, 'knowledge'), in the broadest sense, refers to any systematic knowledge or practice. Greek (ελληνική γλ�?�?�?α IPA: [elini�?kʲi �?ɣlosa] or simply ελληνικά IPA: [elini�?ka] �?? "Hellenic") has a documented history of 3,400 years, the longest of any single natural language in the Indo-European language family. A scalar is a variable that only has magnitude, e.g. a speed of 40 km/h. Bodily is of, relating to, or belonging to the body. Institutions are structures and mechanisms of social order and cooperation governing the behavior of two or more individuals. Real is being or occurring in fact or actuality; having verifiable existence: real objects; a real illness. In common usage, a dimension (Latin, "measured out") is a parameter or measurement used to describe some relevant characteristic of an object. In physics, acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity, or, equivalently, as the second derivative of position (with respect to time). A rate is a special kind of ratio, indicating a relationship between two measurements with different or the same units or without them. Change denotes the transition that occurs between one state to another. A location in a coordinate system, usually in two or more dimensions; the science of position and its generalizations is topology Knowledge is defined (Oxford English Dictionary) variously as (i) expertise, and skills acquired by a person through experience or education; the theoretical or practical understanding of a subject, (ii) what is known in a particular field or in total; facts and information or (iii) awareness or familiarity gained by experience of a fact or situation. System (from Latin syst�?ma, in turn from Greek �?�?�?�?ημα syst�?ma) is a set of interacting or interdependent entities, real or abstract, forming an integrated whole. Most commonly, practice is a learning method, the act of rehearsing a behavior over and over, or engaging in an activity again and again, for the purpose of improving or mastering it, as in the phrase "practice makes perfect". The International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)[I]sup> is a system of phonetic notation based on the Latin alphabet, devised by the International Phonetic Association as a standardized representation of the sounds of spoken language.[1]sup> Natural is present in or produced by nature: a natural pearl. A language is a system of visual, auditory, or tactile symbols of communication and the rules used to manipulate them. The Indo-European languages comprise a family of several hundred related languages and dialects,[1]sup> including most of the major languages of Europe, the northern Indian subcontinent (South Asia), the Iranian plateau (Southwest Asia), and much of Central Asia. Family denotes a domestic group of people, or a number of domestic groups linked through descent (demonstrated or stipulated) from a common ancestor, marriage or adoption.}

A vector object has both magnitude and direction as its defining characteristics. In physics, speed is a quantity that measures the ratio of an evolution to time. Structure is a fundamental and sometimes intangible notion covering the recognition, observation, nature, and stability of patterns and relationships of entities. In philosophy, mechanism is a theory that all natural phenomena can be explained by physical causes. In the absence of agreement about its meaning, the term "social" is used in many different senses, referring among other things to:

• attitudes, orientations or behaviours which take the interests, intentions or needs of other people into account (in contrast to anti-social behaviour); common characteristics of people or descriptions of collectivities (social facts); relations between people (social relations) generally, or particular associations among people; interactions between people (social action); membership of a group of people or inclusion or belonging to a community of people; co-operation or co-operative characteristics between people; relations of (mutual) dependence; the public sector ("social sector") or the need for governance for the good of all, contrasted with the private sector; in existentialist and postmodernist thought, relationships between the Self and the Other; interactive systems in communities of animal or insect populations, or any living organisms. Order is A condition of logical or comprehensible arrangement among the separate elements of a group.
