What is the Matter?

What is the Matter?

Physical substance: in general, as distinct from mind and spirit

In Physics: that which occupies space and possesses rest mass, especially as distinct from energy.

As a Matter of Fact:

"Nothing comes from nothing"

( so that what exists now has always existed: no new matter can come into existence where there was none before)

Empedocles: Greek Philospher
C490 BC-C 430 BC

("For it is impossible for anything to come to be from what is not, and it cannot be brought about or heard of that what is should be utterly destroyed.)

"the totality of things was always such as it is now, and always will be"


 Epicurus

341 BC-270 BC
"The universe and its constituents such as matter cannot be destroyed or created."


Mahavira (6th century BC)
(The Jain text Tattvarthasutra (2nd century) states that a substance is permanent, but its modes are characterized by creation and destruction.)
 "A body of matter cannot disappear completely. It only changes its form, condition, composition, color and other properties and turns into a different complex or elementary matter"

Muhammad ibn Muhammad ibn al-Hasan al-Tūsī ; 18 February 1201 – 26 June 1274), better known as Nasir al-Din Tusi , was a Persian polymath, architect, philosopher, physician, scientist, and theologian.

"Matter is neither created nor destroyed"
