Yeah, it's nuts.

All of your posts leads to the conclusion that your intelligence is hard to find. You research someone else his believes on the web and then you make it your own.

Research done by scientists on the eyes of the butterfly is not "belief". So piss off, I'm not a moron. I am done talking to you about this subject.

so basically, matter is like pig intestines.
the further you take it, the closer you are to being an arse.
brass is bronze and is basically infinite density.
iron is strong yet carbon planet IS diamond planet.
iron is stronger than brass, having infinite density properties. Carbon is diamond.
Diamond matter is real.
only carbon.
just like carbonated water becomes soda with flavor, a carbon planet can become a matter of preference with the right wives.

Don't bother offering a scientific, objective definition, because there isn't one. That's why I put this in the philosophy forum. Which is pretty astonishing when you think about it. We know of 100+ combinations of protons, neutrons, and electrons, we learned that matter is a form of energy, we even defined energy as the ability to do work, but even as we figured out that the spacetime speed limit is 300,000 km/s, we failed to define what matter and energy actually IS.

So what IS it?

That which occupies space and has mass? ... ... okaaay... but what IS it?

Condensed energy? What does that even mean? Condensed 'ability to do work'. That still doesn't describe what it IS.

Physical substance. What IS it? No one knows for sure. I have an idea though. But I'd rather hear yours right now.
