MATTER

We started as a small interior design firm in downtown Michigan, aiming to help home buyers make do with the new space that they had acquired. It soon became obvious that it would make sense to help our clients see beyond the walls and floor plans and be there with them from the get-go. Currently, we offer house realtor, interior design, and architecture services in order to help our customers find their forever homes as seamlessly and painlessly as possible.

THE MODERN PHYSICS DEFINITION (Standard Model)

Physicists look deeper than the atom. They define matter based on a type of particle called a Fermion. Fermions: These are the "building blocks" of the universe. They include Quarks (which make up protons and neutrons) and Leptons (like electrons). The "Space" Rule: Fermions follow the Pauli Exclusion Principle, which basically says two of them cannot occupy the same exact space at the same time. This is why matter feels "solid"—the particles are literally pushing back to keep their own space. Bosons (The Non-Matter): Particles like photons are called "Bosons." They are "force carriers." Unlike matter, you can pile an infinite number of photons into the same space (which is how lasers work).

THE CLASSICAL DEFINITION (Chemistry)

In everyday chemistry, matter is anything composed of atoms. The Rule: If it's made of protons, neutrons, and electrons, it’s matter. Examples: Water, the air you breathe, a spruce tree, and even the "magical spider" you saw are all matter because they are built from atomic building blocks. Non-Examples: Light (photons), heat, and sound are not matter. They are forms of energy.
