It explains how everything was made out of a primal element or substance; as a cause.
The arche concept developed a starting point for valid arguments adopted across all the science fields during the Ancient Greek times. In order for the proof to exist, there should be a beginning principle and the principles of the cause cannot be proven. In addition, since validity for principle cannot …show more content…
The arche is the main element that makes the world of science move. For instance through it, the matter was discovered and defined in the science fields. This clearly explains the arche changes of state in various forms of water, air and solid. The rise of the modern Physics and Chemistry is marked by significant numbers of atomic theories arising from the arche. Ongoing research and experiments continue to establish the support and find more applications on the basis. Nonetheless, the science of Relativity and Quantum physics tend to cause difficulties for regarding matter as a wave or an energy …show more content…
