The Story of The Universe
State of Matter : Solid
State of Matter : Liquid
State of Matter : Gas
God's arrangement was wonderfully simple.
The blazing mass of the earth was made up of
infinitesimal particles and it was they themselves
that would be transformed into rocks and water
and air. The shape they took depended
upon how hot or cold they were.
Those particles, inconceivably small and
all merged together, were whirling at a
fantastic speed. As they cooled, they moved
more and more slowly, clinging closer and
closer to each other and occupying
less and less space.
It is this law of God's which has given us
what we call the three physical states of matter:
everything we know is either a gas, a liquid
or a solid, and which of the three it is at a
given moment, depends on how hot or cold it is.
Why then, we may ask, are there such millions
and millions of different types of particles, each
with its special instructions, each with a special
love for certain particles, each with its special
dislike for others. Just like human beings,
they are attracted to some individuals,
and refuse to have anything to do with others.
So they form themselves into different groups.
