So matter isn't infinitely divisible like time and space is?

u mad bro ???

No matter isnt

No, are you?

So what's the smallest unit in matter?

u maaaaaaad bro ? @IAmHiding

Subatomic particles

Wouldnt it be whatever makes up quarks

Depends on the thing you’re talking about. Idk particle physics really at all but it’s quarks and I think electrons are fundamental particles too. Idk that field at all though

Yeah and then other theories have other ideas about what it could be like the string people

but all you know is there is a fundamental unit there that cannot itself be divided

Ur dink

what is going on here

Time can be divided to no end and matter cannot, there is a point where you cant split it, like there cant be half of a quark

what is this arguemney

Is what im asuming he is saying

Right

Yeah they think. But things like GR say nothing about matter, it says something about space

And time

well no the atom is the smallest unit of matter because a unit ascribes measurable qualities

you cannot measure the subatomic

completely

Wrong

W R... O... N. G <:trump:402385775200829440>

You can by shooting beams of light into it

you can measure indivual qualities but not all at once

That’s partially true but you can say the same for an atom

well i guess you can measure protons and netrons

Though the uncertainty principle makes it a range

but for all intents and purposes the atom is the smallest relvant unit

Relevant for what

It's not really relevant to the topic that started this convo

True

theres a pretty interesting podcast on the subatomic world from this guy called "talk to a spaceman" called "the particle zoo" that talks about the subatomic particles

like 20 min

That stuff is pretty cool

I think alphonsus left 😦

very digestable

@Alphonsus

the guy has got a gay voice, but to just get the content, its not bad, my dad introduced me to it and ive been listening recently
