Abstract

A study is performed on the complete analysis of matter through some intermediate models. The first model builds a world in which the only active players are non-relativistic electrons obeying the laws of quantum mechanics. A second model refines the first by incorporating special relativity by drawing out the consequences of the finite speed of light.
