	World Year of Physics 2005 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The year 2005 has been named the World Year of Physics in recognition of the 100th anniversary of Albert Einstein's "Miracle Year," in which he published three landmark papers, and the subsequent advances in the field of physics.
		Physics has been the basis for understanding the physical world and nature as a whole.
		The year 2005 is significant primarily because of the changes that have occurred in the philosophy of physics over the past 100 years.

	Physics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Physics is often said to be the "fundamental science", because each of the other sciences (biology, chemistry, geology, physiology, archaeology, anthropology, etc.) deals with particular types of material systems that obey the laws of physics.
		Electromagnetism, or electromagnetic theory, is the physics of the electromagnetic field: a field, encompassing all of space, which exerts a force on those particles that possess the property of electric charge, and is in turn affected by the presence and motion of such particles.
		Condensed matter physics, by most estimates the largest single field of physics, is concerned with how the properties of bulk matter, such as the ordinary solids and liquids we encounter in everyday life, arise from the properties and mutual interactions of the constituent atoms.
