Physical chemistry, in contrast to chemical physics, is predominantly (but not always) a supra-molecular science, as the majority of the principles on which it was founded relate to the bulk rather than the molecular or atomic structure alone (for example, chemical equilibrium and colloids).
For example, Physics Essays was founded in 1988 and was described as a home for "unorthodox thought" in 1993; [34] nowadays, it is a haven for relativity denial and the like, including the claim that biological beings consist of a physical body in the physical universe plus entangled bodies in the three nonphysical universes.
