Everything that surrounds us is matter. The origin of the word matter
is mater (Latin) or matri (Sanskrit), for mother. In this sense, human
beings anthropomorphized that which made them possible – that
which gave them nourishment. Every scientific discipline concerns
itself with matter. Of all matter surrounding us, a...
