  2. Modern physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_physics

    Modern physics is a branch of physics that developed in the early 20th century and onward or branches greatly influenced by early 20th century physics. Notable branches of modern physics include quantum mechanics, special relativity, and general relativity. Classical physics is typically concerned with everyday conditions: speeds are much lower ...

  3. Mass communication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_communication

    Mass communication is practiced through various channels known as mediums, which include radio, television, social networking, billboards, newspapers, magazines, books, film, and the Internet. In this modern era, mass communication is used to disperse information at an accelerated rate, often regarding politics and other polarizing topics.

  4. Transport phenomena - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_phenomena

    In engineering, physics, and chemistry, the study of transport phenomena concerns the exchange of mass, energy, charge, momentum and angular momentum between observed and studied systems. While it draws from fields as diverse as continuum mechanics and thermodynamics , it places a heavy emphasis on the commonalities between the topics covered.

  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. Tachyon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tachyon

    Perhaps the most famous is the Higgs boson of the Standard Model of particle physics, which has an imaginary mass in its uncondensed phase. In general, the phenomenon of spontaneous symmetry breaking , which is closely related to tachyon condensation, plays an important role in many aspects of theoretical physics, including the Ginzburg ...

  7. Telecommunications - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telecommunications

    Its modern use is adapted from the French, [8] because its written use was recorded in 1904 by the French engineer and novelist Édouard Estaunié. [9] [10] Communication was first used as an English word in the late 14th century. It comes from Old French comunicacion (14c., Modern French communication), from Latin communicationem (nominative ...

  8. Communication physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communication_physics

    Communication physics aims to study and explain how a communication system works. This can be applied in a hard science way via Computer Communication or in the way of how people communicate. [1] An example of communication physics is how computers can transmit and receive data through networks.

  9. Mass generation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_generation

    The problem is complicated because the primary role of mass is to mediate gravitational interaction between bodies, and no theory of gravitational interaction reconciles with the currently popular Standard Model of particle physics. There are two types of mass generation models: gravity-free models and models that involve gravity.
