	Physical phenomenon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A physical phenomenon is a phenomenon that is describable by physics and involved with some form of matter, energy, or spacetime.
		Physical phenomena are usually regarded as, at least in theory, subjects of observation - Niels Bohr, one of the fathers of quantum mechanics, is quoted with saying "no phenomenon is a phenomenon until it is an observed phenomenon."
		One of the goals of physics is to group phenomena into classes with common causes.

	Physical Mediumship
		Physical mediumship is the process whereby someone, in Spirit, usually known as a spirit operator (as compared to a spirit communicator), works or operates through the mental AND physical energies of the medium and causes something physical to happen on the Earth plane.
		Physical mediumship is objective in nature; that is, when the phenomena occur, everyone is able to see and/or hear them.
		Physical mediumship should only be practised in properly controlled environments with the correct supervision and safeguards in place to ensure the safety of the medium.

	Physical Abuse
		It is not necessary for the harm to be intentionally inflicted, and in the majority of situations physical abuse is the unintentional end result of harsh disciplinary methods or corporal punishment that have escalated to point of physical injury or the risk of physical injury.
		Physical abuse is the most visible form of Child Abuse or maltreatment because physical indicators are the first to be noticed.
		Studies of physically abused children and their families indicate that a significant number of psychological problems are associated with child physical abuse.

	PROJECT 1947 - AUSTRALIAN UFO PHYSICAL TRACE CASES
		The physical trace phenomenon is an enduring aspect of the UFO mystery, having manifested for the entire duration of the modern era of the UFO controversy.
		However, while the evidence for a physical reality behind UFO abductions is not as compelling as the so called mainstream UFO phenomenon, we have the extraordinary problem that it is the abduction phenomenon that is now defining the UFO phenomenon.
		It is a relatively recent phenomenon on the unusual ground effects stage, with specific and limited physical and social dimensions.

	GIS/EM4 - Virtual Reality as an analyzer of the urban "ambients" parameters
		The data structuration we obtain by associating 3-D geometrical elements and physical or textual datas is similar to GIS 3-D structuration, so we can claim that the Virtual Reality approach is full of promises for integrating man into the scientific knowledge of physical processes of urban environment.
		Those scalar physical phenomenon are perceived with specific "human sensors", which accuse sensorial disparities between ambients phenomenon.
		For the pedestrian that circulates in the urban space, the sun superposed to the urban landscape is traducing a solar landscape.

		Physical attractiveness is a more powerful determinant of a person’s fortune and misfortune in life than people admit.
		All people inherit and alter their physical attractiveness, which is determined by complex, interdependent, physical and non-physical factors.
		The Power and Paradox of Physical Attractiveness explores, discovers, and documents the theories, evidence, and circumstances in which physical attractiveness is a remarkable veneer with influences that extend considerably beyond what we call skin-deep.

	Physical system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A physical system is a system that is comprised of matter and energy, which we can learn about using the tools of physics.
		The complexity of a physical system is equal to the probability of its being in a particular state vector.
		In a physical system, a lower probability state vector is equivalent to a higher complexity.

	Physical Laws
		Chapter 5 discusses the phenomenon of waves for two reasons, firstly because waves are encountered in a vast array of natural phenomena, and secondly to foreground the ideas needed to the understand the concept of a field.
		Quantum physics reigns supreme in the sense that it has stood the test of all experiments till date, and continues to predict and explain all sorts of novel and unexpected phenomenon.
		Figure 1.1 lists all the theories of physics, and as one moves towards the right, the theories encompass a greater range of phenomena and are more accurate as well.

	Tertium Organum: Chapter XII
		Physical phenomena (i.e., all phenomena studied by physics and chemistry); phenomena of life (all phenomena studied by biology and its subdivisions); psychic phenomena (thoughts, feelings, sensations, etc.).
		Physics recognizes the existence of many phenomena which have never been observed by the sense organs or by means of apparatus (the temperature of absolute zero etc., for example).
		A sign of the presence of the phenomena of life consists in the power of organisms to reproduce themselves, i.e., the multiplication of them in the same forms, the indivisibility of separate units and their especial adaptability, which is not observed outside of life.

	Refuting materialism: evidence against the mind being purely a biological or physical phenomenon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		It is the ability to understand, predict and control physical, chemical, biological and technical systems through the use of mathematics.
		According to the materialist's worldview, the mind (including mathematicians' minds) is an epiphenomenon of matter which has evolved solely to ensure the survival of the selfish genes which code for it.
		The mind cannot be an emergent phenomenon, emergent property or epiphenomenon of the brain, because emergence presupposes a mind from which to emerge.

	Natural Length Contraction Due to Gravity
		Classical physics with quantum mechanics alone lead to predictions, which are compatible with all the experimental observations usually attributed to relativity.
		We know that a physical length is normally expressed as a pure number "x" of units when it is implied that the observer uses a universal system involving changeless reference units in all frames.
		When needed, the number of units (of the physical quantity) is represented here by #r in the case of length, #m in the case of mass, and #E in the case of the number of unit of energy.

	Multiphysics analysis - The Industrial Physicist
		FEA is typically used to predict how a part or system responds to the effects of a single physical phenomenon, such as structural deformation due to a mechanical load, or temperature profile due to heat transfer (see The Industrial Physicist, February 2001, pp.
		In the past, the effects of multiple physical phenomena were investigated by separately analyzing each phenomenon individually—for example, thermal, electric, or mechanical—without regard to any physics interaction.
		In certain transducers, piezoelectric direct coupling of electrical and mechanical physics is useful in determining both the amount of deformation resulting from an applied voltage and vice versa, as in piezoelectric ignition devices.

	FST: Mediumship: Physical Mediumship
		A very interesting phenomenon witnessed during direct voice is the shifting in the strength of the voice, as the energy level and harmony change.
		Two: The development of physical mediumship can be a lengthy process; sometimes tedious, with nothing happening in the circle for months or even years; requires great commitment on everyone's part; and generally revolves around the development of one, maybe two, people in the circle, with the other people sitting to help them in their development.
		However, we have noticed during the last decade that there seems to be a resurgence of interest in physical mediumship and, consequently, a resurgence in the development of physical mediums.

	Visualizing Quantum Mechanics
		Once the physical phenomenon has been presented and discussed, a basic mathematical model is presented.
		In the first (a one hour lecture), a physical phenomenon was demonstrated using computer graphics, computer animation or video projected on a screen, together with the basic mathematical objects and manipulations needed to construct a model (again, by a direct projection from the computer).
		The physical scene is no longer limited by a stationery state description of phenomena, and the dynamic nature of quantum mechanics can be discussed even in a second year undergraduate course.

	Calculation of the Advance of the Perihelion of Mercury
		This means that the mathematical relationships so well-known in physics are the only ones that are valid but it is required that on Mercury we use the physical quantities (mass, length and clock rate) existing on Mercury while in outer space, we use the physical quantities (which are different) existing in outer space.
		Using the physical parameters existing on Mercury and outer space units, equation 5.9 shows that the absolute gravitational force on Mercury is different from the one calculated using the physical parameters existing in outer space and given in equation 5.1.
		The first phenomenon given by equation 5.22 gives the relative length of the orbit as measured in outer space when the phenomenon is calculated using the parameters existing on Mercury where the interaction with the gravitational field of the Sun takes place.

	CHANNELING AND THE PRESENCE PHENOMENON. Psychology or parapsychology?
		In it a presence may manifest itself in such a strong manner that it is not recognised anymore as being part of the participants.
		To give their efforts a focus they invented a man named Philip, decided on his personality and physical characteristics, gave him a time to have lived, a background with names and dates, a loveless marriage etc. All a product of their fantasy.
		Although few physical mediums are known nowadays efforts are being exerted to breathe new life into these rare phenomena.

	Sound, synthesis and audio reproduction: Sound as a physical phenomenon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		In the case of sound, the density is just the usual weight per unit of volume of gas and the stiffness is borne of a balance of repulsive forces between molecules and their mean kinetic energy (temperature).
		This is a phenomenon that is specific to 2+ dimensional cases and is something that greatly affects the behavior of sound in natural environments.
		As it is a 2+ dimensional phenomenon, it does not naturally lend itself to the one dimensional abstractions of today’s simulation methods and 2+ dimensional simulations cost dearly in terms of processing power and memory.

	fI&B - published
		There may be physical phenomena which physics (and any non-revolutionary extension of it) cannot describe, and of which it has no inkling, either descriptive or referential.
		A concrete phenomenon must be more than its purely formal or structural properties, because these, considered just as such, have a purely abstract mathematical representation, and are, concretely, nothing—nothing at all.
		As Russell says, ‘the physical [sc non-mental] world is only known as regards certain abstract features of its space-time structure—features which, because of their abstractness, do not suffice to show whether the physical world is, or is not, different in intrinsic character from the world of mind’.

	National Institute for Discovery Science: Vallee Discusses UFO Control System
		Clark: Since the great autumn 1973 sighting wave public attitudes about the UFO phenomenon seem to have changed dramatically, to the extent that society may be entering a pivotal period in its perception of the problem.
		The fact is that the witnesses were exposed to an event and as a result they experienced a highly complex alteration of perception which caused them to describe the object or objects that figure in their testimony.
		We tend to assume that the physical phenomenon is its most important aspect and that everything else is just a side effect and much less important.

		First, it is essential to present this important phenomenon to serious scientists in a context with which they are familiar, namely, the discipline of science as it is practiced today.
		Rather, as presented on TV or in newspapers and magazines, the UFO phenomenon is a goofy, fringe subject of interest only to the uneducated, fans of science fiction and others with over-excited imaginations, or those who have taken too many drugs or drink too much.
		Physical evidence of UFO operations in and around the Earth's atmosphere, as well as on the surface of the Earth, exists and has been studied scientifically (e.g., soil samples, radiation effects, electromagnetic activity).

	UFO Phenomenon: UFOs - Physical or Subtle? Part 1
		In a UFO abduction, the physical body may be taken onto a UFO, and during this experience an OBE may or may not take place.
		Up to this point, she seemed to be traveling in her physical body, since the trip involved what appeared to be great g-forces of the kind produced by ordinary acceleration.
		One reply to this is that some abduction cases involve physical traces on objects or on the ground that suggest the presence of some physically real agent.

	Classical Mechanics
		This mechanistic view of the universe, called classical mechanics, focusses entirely on the concept of motion, that is, at the base of Newton's thought is an attempt to explain why the universe moves.
		It also followed that if economics, history, politics, and ethics were mechanical, they could be explained without recourse to religion or God and they could be manipulated as if they were machines, that is, they could be improved and made to run better.
		As the Enlightenment developed, classical mechanics would give rise to a larger phenomenon, Deism which is founded on the idea that all phenomenon is fundamentally rational and mechanistic.
