 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: History of Physics
Indeed the influence of Aristotle's "Physics" was already apparent in the writings of the most celebrated masters of the school of Chartres (from 1121 until before 1155), and of Gilbert de la Porrée (1070-1154).
The physics developed by Bruno, in which he incorporated the Copernican hypothesis, proceeded from Nicole, Oresme, and Nicholas of Cusa; but chiefly from the physics taught in the University of Paris in the fourteenth century.
From the birth of Christian physics and especially from the end of the thirteenth century, physicists had been endeavouring to destroy the authority of this principle and to render the celestial and sublunary worlds subject to the same laws, the doctrine of universal gravitation being the outcome of this prolonged effort.

 Physics, complexity and causality : Nature   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Today's physics has nothing to say about the intentionality that has resulted in the existence of such objects, even though this intentionality is clearly causally effective.
Physics by itself cannot explain any behaviour that is adaptive and depends on context, for example, beaver dam-building and the dances of bees.
If this is the case, the challenge to physics is to develop a realistic description of causality in truly complex hierarchical structures, where top-down causation and memory effects allow autonomous higher levels of order to emerge with genuine causal powers.

 The Internet Classics Archive | Physics by Aristotle
Further, it is a law of nature that earth and all other bodies should remain in their proper places and be moved from them only by violence: from the fact then that some of them are in their proper places it follows that in respect of place also all things cannot be in motion.
Either all things are at rest, or all things are in motion, or some things are at rest and others in motion.
Nor does it matter if the thing need not rest in the contradictory state, or if there is no state of rest as a contrary to the process of change: it may be true that the non-existent is not at rest, and that perishing is a process to the non-existent.

In a sense, the amplitude is the distance from rest to crest.
In the diagram above, the amplitude could be measured as the distance of a line segment which is perpendicular to the rest position and extends vertically upward from the rest position to point A. The wavelength is another property of a wave which is portrayed in the diagram above.

 Physics
Physics constitutes a logical system of thought which is in a state of evolution, whose basis (principles) cannot be distilled, as it were, from experience by an inductive method, but can only be arrived at by free invention.
Physics: Forces (Light, Gravity) - Forces are caused by a change in velocity of the spherical In-Waves (from one direction, as they interact with other matter / waves) which causes a change in location of where these spherical (ellipsoidal) In-Waves finally meet at their Wave-Center, and which we 'see' as a 'force accelerating a particle'.

In Quantum Physics, the scientists have been literally forced to transcend their unilateral parameters of thought, that is, the limits of intellect.
With the transition of Classical Physics towards Modern Physics at the turn of the century rose the suspicion, that the deterministic world outlook, as performed by Newtonian Physics and as exposed before, was most probably "wrong".
Keeping in mind, that the physical object of quantum mechanics is the structure of atoms, from the above explained results, that this structure cannot be described either trough the classical wave-, or the classical particle concept, but precisely through the two of them.

 THE ALTERNATIVE PHYSICS AND COSMOLOGY FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
While most of the answers in the physics and astronomy FAQs would be agreed on by all sensible and knowledgeable people concerned with physics there are, in the opinions of a significant minority, a number of "blind spots" in "establishment physics".
As an example, if we consider the rest mass of the solar system then that is the mass as measured in a frame at rest with respect to the COM (centre of mass) of the solar system.
Likewise in an atom the rest mass is the sum of the relativistic masses of the components.

We feel much of the problem is that examples are often not clearly and fully explained and the student is not given enough time to figure out the unexplained part on their own.
Physics is about; mass, motion, force, vectors (length and direction), velocity, gravity, light, energy, time and space.
An object at rest tend to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion at a constant speed.

 The Equivalence of Mass and Energy
According to Newtonian physics, all physical interactions are separately governed by the principles of conservation of mass and conservation of energy.
However, as we have seen, this is not the case in relativistic physics, because the energy absorbed by the block of gold contributes to an increase in its rest-mass.
However, in relativistic physics, the qualitative distinction between matter and fields is lost because of the equivalence of mass and energy.

 Aristotle : Physics
And when it is bending and being moved one of the points in the joint is moved and one is at rest, just as if the points A and D of a diameter were at rest, and B were moved, and DAC were generated.
But still the origin of movement, qua origin, always remains at rest when the lower part of a limb is moved; for example, the elbow joint, when the forearm is moved, and the shoulder, when the whole arm; the knee when the tibia is moved, and the hip when the whole leg.
For one part of an animal must be moved, and another be at rest, and against this the part which is moved will support itself and be moved; for example, if it move one of its parts; for one part, as it were, supports itself against another part at rest.

 All Things Distributed: Feynman & REST   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
I think that REST falls into this category; it is a model derived "after-the-fact" that appears reasonable to many.
Whether we use the REST model, or another model to be developed that appears to match it closer or from a different perspective, "the web" and other large scale distributed systems will continue to do "their thing", whatever model we put on it.
We must learn from Physics that models are imperfect and only an approximation of something that is much larger, and more complex that we can imagine.

 Inertia and Mass   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
But if left to itself, a moving object would eventually come to rest and an object at rest would stay at rest; thus, the idea which dominated people's thinking for nearly 2000 years prior to Newton was that it was the natural tendency of all objects to assume a rest position.
Suppose that there are two seemingly identical bricks at rest on the physics lecture table.
A common physics demonstration relies on this principle that the more massive the object, the more that object tends to resist changes in its state of motion.

 Science: Physics: Modern: General Relativity - Open Site
It compelled Newton to invent a physical space in relation to which acceleration was supposed to exist.
With the discovery of the relativity of simultaneity, space and time were merged in a single continuum in a way similar to that in which the three dimensions of space had previously merged into a single continuum.
Physical space was thus extended to a four dimensional space which also included the dimension of time.

The water tended to "keep on doing what it was doing." The container was moved from rest to a high speed at the starting line; the water remained at rest and spilled onto the table.
Coffee tends to "keep on doing what it is doing." When you accelerate a car from rest, the road provides an unbalanced force on the spinning wheels to push the car forward; yet the coffee (which was at rest) wants to stay at rest.

So, as projected by Quantum Physics today, the Compton wavelength of a particle is a seen to be a totally different mathematical value as compared to its de Broglie wavelength when the particle is located in its own rest frame of reference.
It is this total misunderstanding of the fundamental nature of atom’s inner structure that has rendered present day Quantum Mechanics as being completely ineffective as far as its ability to bring forth any valid mathematical description of the atom.
This means, according to Reality Physics, subatomic particles are composed of photon spin that oscillates at its greatest rate within the particle’s own still frame.

It is this tiny tip which is the wave aspect of the neutrino and twice it is the rest mass of the photon.
And my answer is that the neutrino is the part of the hydrogen atom which when attempted to force the hydrogen atom into all particle or all wave, is the stubborn piece that is remaining to carry the other aspect through.
So, I propose to discover the rest mass of the neutrino and thereby the photon is to squeeze a neutron into all energy and where the squeezing is no longer possible is the rest mass of the neutrino.
