The Role of the Structure of Matter in its Dynamics and Evolution

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the role of the structure of the body in its dynamics and evolution.
A system of potentially interacting material points was used as a body model. To study the role of body
structures, the equation of motion of the system was used. It is shown how it is derived from the condition
of invariance of the total energy of the system. This equation takes into account that the work of external
forces goes not only to change the energy of motion of the system, but also to change its internal energy.
As a result, it was found that taking into account the structural nature of bodies opens up the possibility
of describing the processes of their evolution within the framework of the fundamental laws of physics.
Based on the condition of infinite divisibility of matter, which follows from the equation of motion of
the system, the general principles of organizing the structures of matter at all its hierarchical levels are
considered. Examples are given that demonstrate the importance of taking into account the role of the
structure of bodies for the development of physics.
