Alloy Theory

SUMMARYMan has always been fascinated with the quest to understand the inner workings of nature at a fundamental level. According to Embedocles[1], a philosopher in ancient Greece, all material things consist of four basic elements (he called them “roots”), namely earth, water, air, and fire. Modern mail's interpretation of that statement is that earth, water and air refer to the three states of matter, i.e., solids, liquids and gasses, with fire designating a process for transforming one of those states into the other. Be that as it may, Embedocles' statement could be conceived as the first attempt to construct an alloy theory, i.e., a predictive capability of the behavior of composite systems.
