	Physics
		Physics (from Greek from φυσικός (phusikos): natural, from φύσις (fysis): nature) is the science of Nature in the broadest sense.
		Theories of physics are generally expressed as mathematical relations.
		Physics is very closely related to the other natural sciences, particularly chemistry, the science of molecules and the chemical compounds that they form in bulk.

	George Mason University \|\| Physics and Astronomy
		Applied Physics is an interdisciplinary field combining electronics, computer hardware and software, process engineering uses scientific ideas of physics to measure and assess modern industrial and social needs in terms of energy, force, and time, among other fundamental concepts.
		Physics of Biological Systems is the study of biological processes through the application of physics, seeking quantitative information at the molecular, cellular, organismal, and systems level.
		Theoretical Physics is the qualitative derivation and analysis of physics-based theories such as particle physics, field theory, nuclear physics, condensed matter phyusics, statistical physics, astrophysics and cosmology.

	Metaphysics Is Relevant To Physics Comprehension
		An appreciation of physics is a vigorous exercise in applied metaphysics, and this should be accounted as one of the main reasons for its cultivation, and its position in a liberal education.
		Physics challenged, and was challenged by, two major schools of educated opinion, that of the Jesuits and that of the Dominicans.
		The purpose of physics became the pursuit of this truth, this encapsulation and reduction of data–without which reams of data are of little use, and with which they are of great use–and the meaning of physical concepts, which are mathematical objects comprising these formula expressed truths, are identical with their mathematical rules of use.

	Unified Theories
		Just as a grand unified theory of physics would show how complementary theories of physics are compatible, a more comprehensive understanding of religious concepts would show how many complementary religious concepts are compatible.
		Today, for example, physicists have a well-grounded theory of quantum electrodynamics that contains as a special case all the theories of physics that existed 100 years ago, even ones that were contradictory when seen out of today's unifying context.
		A science, whether mathematical or physical or spiritual, is a living tradition that has its foundation in a community of practitioners who have been trained to see the truths of that science and who train the next generation to see the truths.

		It follows that one objective of the physics program is to provide students with a competence and base of knowledge sufficient for their specific requirements.
		Physics, however, is more than the basic science: it is an art whose techniques (including logical and analytical reasoning, careful observation, experimentation and mathematical model-building) can be valuable assets in any field of endeavor.
		Thus, the ultimate objective of the study of physics is to provide the student with a way to appreciate the world with greater understanding.

		The general theory of relativity and quantum mechanics are the two most fundamental theories of physics, not counting theories of quantum gravity.
		Within linguistic theory, two extreme positions concerning the relationship between language and thought are commonly referred to as 'mould theories’ and 'cloak theories'.
		In the 20th century, Reichenbach and the early Einstein declared the special theory of relativity to be a victory for the relational theory.

	Tomorrow is physics without paradoxical theories
		According to relativistic theory, as the velocity of a body approached the velocity of light, its energy and mass would become limitless, its size would be null and time would stop.
		It is assumed that the theory of relativity and the principle of indeterminacy substantiate the theory of elementary particles and the fact of their existance.
		According to the theory of relativity, the mass of a particle is a variable.

	Living State Physics
		It is an interdisciplinary field that draws upon the tools, methods, and theories of physics, biology, engineering, and medicine, as well as computational physics and non-linear dynamics, to increase our understanding of biological systems and phenomena.
		Physicists have already made significant contributions to medicine and biology, primarily in medical physics, which emphasizes the application of radiation to diagnosis, imaging, and therapy; and in biophysics, which is concerned largely with the properties and behavior of biological molecules.
		Hence, the term Living State Physics is both an excellent name for this broad field and an appropriate parallel to the more familiar field of solid state physics, which applies numerous techniques and theories to study solids.

	Are there any real challenge between The Relativity And Quantum theories - Advanced Physics Forums (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The main difficulty is that it is (apparently) impossible to quantize a spin-2 theory in the usual way; it is not renormalizable.
		And since gravitons are considered to be spin-2 particles, a quantisation is apparently not possible, because it leads to singularities in the equations, as far as i understood it.
		If not it means we have two independent theories with its own zone and there is no real challenge between them.The only problem apears when we decide to interpret one of them with the other one.

	Where Do the Laws of Physics Come from?
		The broad picture that is drawn by modern particle physics and cosmology is very probably the way nature is, and what we have yet to learn may be expected to fit comfortably on its foundation--just as these sciences fit comfortably on the foundation of Newtonian physics.
		The laws of physics are not, as usually assumed, restrictions on the behavior of matter--handed down from above or somehow built into the logical structure of the Universe.

		The fact is that these theories are not only well confirmed by experiment, but practical use is made of them every single day.
		His theory was not capable of describing the dynamics necessary to perform any experiment to measure the quantity.
		To start with, you have to reproduce all the correct results of the established theories: That means you first have to learn those theories, then check that your new theory can successfully reproduce their correct results.

		These and other questions contribute to the intrigue about a theory that is lacking in most physics textbooks but dominating certain circles in the physics world.
		String theory seems to set aside the glitches between general relativity and quantum mechanics by introducing the string, a structure that is much smaller than any subatomic particle.
		Moreover, string theory is so complex that current mathematics does not allow for physicists to solve string theory equations.

	How do physics theories work?
		The simple goal of theories in physics is to describe how particles move.
		For example, you could write a very simple theory of physics which only describes, say, pool tables.
