Actually, I am inquiring about everything except organic matter. Most buildings (pyramids, colloseums, ect) are constructed of rock, or inorganic matter... why would the carbon clock start just by using the material to build a building?
I am referring to the short post in the sticky, referred to as "WHY DON’T ELECTRONS CRASH INTO THE NUCLEUS IN ATOMS?"
Simple question: what shape is the electron then? Is it a ring, or a hollow sphere, ect? What shape will ensure that they don't collide?
You actually might be working religion into this thread... I am just talking about the idea of A god, not anyone particular God. I am presenting physics questions here, and asking some bigger questions along with them. If I am out of line on this site, then let me know and I will stop.
Hello my smart fellows, I was wondering why scientists say that when an ancient civilization constructs a structure, they can tell the date that the structure was built with radioactive dating methods? Surely the materials used to make the structure already HAD an age, so how would they be able...
So, everything we interact with... there is no touchable, seeable substance? It's all just forces that we must detect using machines?
Why is it that we differentiate between mass and energy, if mass IS energy?
Have we ever "observed" dark energy with our 5 senses, or is it the type of...
I read this on Wikipedia:
Basically, much of the mass of hadrons is the interaction energy of bound quarks. Thus, most of what composes the "mass" of ordinary matter is interquark interaction energy...In a hadron most of the mass comes from the gluons...While gluons are inherently massless...
