  2. Physics (Aristotle) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics_(Aristotle)

    Chapters 3 and 4 are among the most difficult in all of Aristotle's works and involve subtle refutations of the thought of Parmenides, Melissus and Anaxagoras. In chapter 5, he continues his review of his predecessors, particularly how many first principles there are. Chapter 6 narrows down the number of principles to two or three.

  3. Branches of physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branches_of_physics

    astrophysics, the physics in the universe, including the properties and interactions of celestial bodies in astronomy; atmospheric physics is the application of physics to the study of the atmosphere; space physics is the study of plasmas as they occur naturally in the Earth's upper atmosphere (aeronomy) and within the Solar System

  4. Outline of physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_physics

    Physics – branch of science that studies matter [9] and its motion through space and time, along with related concepts such as energy and force. [10] Physics is one of the "fundamental sciences" because the other natural sciences (like biology, geology etc.) deal with systems that seem to obey the laws of physics. According to physics, the ...

  5. Physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics

    Physics is the scientific study of matter, its fundamental constituents, its motion and behavior through space and time, and the related entities of energy and force. [1] Physics is one of the most fundamental scientific disciplines. [2] [3] [4] A scientist who specializes in the field of physics is called a physicist.

  6. Wave function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_function

    In one common form, it says that the squared modulus of a wave function that depends upon position is the probability density of measuring a particle as being at a given place. The integral of a wavefunction's squared modulus over all the system's degrees of freedom must be equal to 1, a condition called normalization .

  7. Arnold Kosevich - Wikipedia

    Arnold Kosevich was born in Tulchyn, Ukraine.He graduated from Kharkiv University in 1951, and received his PhD in 1954 under the supervision of Ilya Lifshitz.In 1954–1957 he worked at Chernivtsi University, in 1957–1974 at the Kharkiv Institute of Physics and Technology.

  8. Conservation law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservation_law

    With respect to classical physics, conservation laws include conservation of energy, mass (or matter), linear momentum, angular momentum, and electric charge. With respect to particle physics, particles cannot be created or destroyed except in pairs, where one is ordinary and the other is an antiparticle.

  9. Ensemble (mathematical physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ensemble_(mathematical...

    The precise mathematical expression for a statistical ensemble has a distinct form depending on the type of mechanics under consideration (quantum or classical). In the classical case, the ensemble is a probability distribution over the microstates.
