There are two types of matter in the universe: inanimate and animate. Inanimate matter comprises small objects ranging from atoms and molecules to quarks and quanta, while animate matter refers to the soul with excitement, feelings, mind, and consciousness, as in animals and humans, which forms the basis of life. Science best studies inanimate matter. However, animate matter has not yet been properly studied.
