SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the intricate relationship between matter, energy, time, and space within atoms, emphasizing the need for a solid foundation in physics to grasp these concepts fully. Participants recommend studying high-school physics textbooks and notable works by physicists such as Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, and Stephen Hawking to gain a comprehensive understanding. The conversation highlights the importance of formal education in physics for exploring these fundamental topics.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic physics concepts
  • Familiarity with high-school physics textbooks
  • Knowledge of key physicists like Newton, Einstein, and Hawking
  • Ability to connect concepts across different scientific disciplines
NEXT STEPS
  • Study high-school physics textbooks for foundational knowledge
  • Read "The Principia" by Isaac Newton for classical mechanics
  • Explore "Relativity: The Special and the General Theory" by Albert Einstein
  • Investigate "A Brief History of Time" by Stephen Hawking for insights on time and space
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for students, educators, and anyone interested in deepening their understanding of the fundamental principles of physics and the relationships between matter, energy, time, and space.

What is the interplay between matter, energy, time, and space within an atom?

What anweser do you expect? This question is so broad that to answer it you should probably go to university and study physics.

Get several text books and study them.

Or even high-school physics textbook.

It's OT, but hey, I'm still at a party and no interesting people are around so...

I had this idead to read all high-school textbooks to refresh my knowledge about the world. Like geography, biology, history, etc. Isn't it a great idea? I feel like, I don't have to remember all those things, it's just the fact that once/twice in my life I knew how the world works (besides physics), it gives me some kind of comfort a lot of people don't have (so they cling to personal theories)...

You are right. Geography, biology, history and physics have a strong connection. You can read the works of Newton, Einstein and Hawking.
