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
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
Originally this was about the aristotelian proof for the existence of god that Aquinas wrote about
oof lol
cool
where was the disagreeance is there a pagan in here?
or some ugly atheist
And we reached a point where I didn't find it convincing because to me it's also plausible that things can have an infinite series of causes whether it's linear in time or sustaining, hierarchical causes
I don’t think there was any disagreement just talking about how infinities can be applied to the world
Fuckin nerds
I am still here, reading it, doing some other research. I like the subject, it just isn't my strong area.
hierarchical causes refer for example to how my keyboard is able to be 3 feet off of the ground because it's held up by the table which is held up in turn by the floor etc
Son of a Banker is an atheist, however.
Right
I'm an atheist with the honest desire to learn otherwise
Yeah but that goes back to Aquinas argument from motion banker
He deals with that
my dick is held up by an ethot held up by her knees, held up by the floor, held up by the foundation etc etc
There's a few arguments that I believe rely on the principle that firstly everything has a cause and that there cannot be an infinite regress of causes
Yeah the unmoved mover
Argument from first cause etc whatever people call it
