Motions Measurement?

Hello,

I think structure, heat & motions changes when a substance interact
with other. Simply, I want to know that:-

Can atomic & subatomic motions(heat also) within a substance--atom,
molecule, lattice, crystal etc. can be acurately measured by current
measuring instruments? If not, how variations in such motions can be
understood?

Best wishes.

Read the very first one of the Feynman lectures 1-1.

I was very pleased to see this post. While I have a hard copy of the
Feynman-lectures, I have some visual difficulties that makes an
electronic version convenient and useful. I was able to download a pdf
version but it is not clear to me how I did it. Scribd was unfamiliar to
me before your post. How would you find the other volumes?

I though that I downloaded all three volumes and save it as a web
archive. I could not find out how to download a pdf version. After it
was saved, it was only a page worth. I am going to try to figure out the
site a bit more but any help would be appreciated.

The Feynman lectures were posted to alt.binaries.e-book.technical
about 41 days ago.

You can obtain an nzb file by going to http://www.binsearch.info
and doing a search on "feynman lectures"

Thanks for link, I shall try to find awnser to my question from it.
However, simply I want to know that can sub-atomic motions be
accurately measured or not. I suspect that all interactions may cause
their memory by some changes in motions (by way of it evolutions &
changes may occur) Regards.

The motions can certainly be inferred (statistically) from other
measurements such as pressure and/or temperature.

As such, will these be accurate?

Sure, why not?

Because electrons move very very fast. Can't there be some
unmeasurable difference in vibrational motions if not in total
motions? I think Darwin, in my other topic, has indicated somewhat
relevant to it. How evolutionary changes occur in atoms?

Coming to point, can there be a memory in atoms for all the
interactions it had experianced previously even if those interactions
are not continuing?

I thought you were asking about the velocities (motion)of atoms and
molecules in a gas or liquid. Kinetic Energy, etc.

Now if you want to investigate the motions within atoms, you can
only make progress using quantum mechanics. Memory doesn't make
a whole lot of sense the way you are using it.

Simply, whether some minor/quantum changes within atoms can occur due
to normal interactions of it with other substances as evolutionary
changes in it? Simply, whether atoms change in any way on passage of
time and due to environmental exposures to these?

As many posters are more interested in appearing well read,
or promoting a personal race/religion biased agenda,
than they are in helping folks,

and send folks on wild goose chases with useless references,

I suggest that when anyone provides a GENERALIZED reference,
that you request SPECIFIC quotes that you can search on.

I do search & try to fing & relate specifics as I done in my other
topic on adsorption. Simply I want to know how evolutionary changes
can occur in atoms & if there can be changes in motions within atoms
at first?
