Viewpoint: Yes, history, recent advances, and new technologies provide reasonable hope that a grand unified theory may be within reach. Viewpoint: No, a grand unified theory of the fundamental forces is not within the reach of physicists today. The...

PHYSICS AND RELIGION. Physics describes the material world on the basis of repeatable observation and in terms of concepts such as mass, energy, space, and time. As the earliest of the modern scientific disciplines, physics has played a central role in...

Physics and astronomy, from which all other sciences derive their foundation, are attempts to provide a rational explanation for the structure and workings of the Universe. The creation of the earliest civilizations and of mankind's religious...

In some ways we would not have computers today were it not for physics. Furthermore, the needs of physics have stimulated computer development at every step. This all started due to one man's desire to eliminate needless work by transferring it...

Physics and the arts have always had a complex, interactive relationship. Classical Greek art and philosophy (the forerunner of modern science) shared the same goal: the description of the natural world, the first in concrete terms (through sculpture,...

Science that deals with the structure of matter and the interactions between the fundamental constituents of the observable universe. Long called natural philosophy (from the Greek physikos), physics is concerned with all aspects of nature, covering...

Physics is the science studying the concept of matter[1] and its motion,[2][3] as well as space and time[4][5] — the science that deals with concepts such as force, energy, mass, and charge. Physics is an experimental[6] science, and it is the...
