Properties of quantum of matter
Matter is inert. It has no properties except its ability to exist. Its ability to exist is the result of tendency of nearest points in it to adhere together. In our sense, this adhesion is similar to apparent attraction between these points. This tendency is restricted between the nearest points only. It does not extend beyond.
Due to the inherent adhesive property of its matter-content, a free quantum of matter tends to grow in one spatial dimension, while reducing its measurements in all other spatial dimensions. ‘Self-adhesion’ of matter (in a quantum of matter) produces character of ‘self-constriction’. Matter-content of a quantum of matter, in any spatial dimension; tends to reduce its magnitude. Since matter cannot be compressed, reduction of its measurement in one spatial dimension is bound to increase its spatial dimension in another spatial dimension. Thus, self-constriction of a quantum of matter gives rise to its ‘self-elongating’ character. A quantum of matter has a natural tendency, necessitated by adhesive property of its matter-content, to grow in its own single spatial dimension. If left free, in free space, a quantum of matter will grow in length indefinitely, while reducing magnitudes in other spatial dimensions. Since matter cannot be compressed, reduction of its measurement in one spatial dimension is bound to increase its spatial dimension in another spatial dimension
Even though, spatial dimensions of a quantum of matter, other than its single spatial dimension, are negligibly small, a quantum of matter has positive existence in all three spatial dimensions. Thus, a free quantum of matter is a one-dimensional matter-body with positive existence in all spatial dimensions. It has a body and two ends. We consider a point to be a dimension-less entity. Similarly a line has no breadth or thick ness and a plane has no thickness. At the same time, a point and a plane do exist in our 3D world.
Reducing the length of a free quantum of matter, by external efforts, compels it to grow into second spatial dimension. Similarly, reducing the area of a 2D quantum of matter, in its spatial plane, by external effort compels it to grow into the third spatial dimension. It is at this juncture that real 3D matter, as we know, is created. Although quanta of matter in their 1D status are real matter-bodies with positive existence in space, their measurements in all spatial dimensions are too small to be tangible by our standards. Because of this difficulty, we are unable to appreciate their real existence in 3D spatial system. We may consider quanta of matter in their 1D and 2D states as functional entities.
