1. 4 sources of knowledge - ANSWER ->reason
sensory data intuition
authority

1. 6 self-evident truths - ANSWER ->causality
existence occam's razor noncontradiction
position symmetry
time symmetry`

1. Causality - ANSWER ->things happen on the basis of physical laws due
to interaction with other objects. If one thing affects another, it must
precede the other thing in time.

1. Occam's Razor - ANSWER ->if there are two ways of explaining
something equaly well, the simplest one will be accepted over a more
complicated one.

1. Position symmetry - ANSWER ->physical laws do not depend on
where an observations is made

2. electromagnetic force - ANSWER ->responsible for binding atoms and
molecules as structures

2. weak force - ANSWER ->different than the other 3...
not directly associated with binding together the common structures of
the universe

2. gravity - ANSWER ->gives rise to the weakest of the fundamental
forces.
responsible for binding structures such as the solar system and galaxies

2. particles (small to large) - ANSWER ->quarks (charged particles, each
carrying a positive or negative charge out of 3)
Nucleons = three quarks with strong force
Nucleus = clumps of nucleons
Atoms = nucleus + electrons
Molecule / Element
Earth
Solar System
Galaxy
Cluster

2. Elementary particles... - ANSWER ->may have mass & do
have a zero size
