Physics is based on the assumption that certain fundamental features of nature are constant.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Science is based on reproducibility and manufactured objectivity. As strong as that makes its ability to generate claims about matter and energy, it also makes scientific knowledge inapplicable to the existential, visceral nature of human life, which is unique and subjective and unpredictable.
To me, what makes physics physics is that experiment is intimately connected to theory. It's one whole.
If we conceive all the changes in the physical world as reducible to the motion of atoms, motions generated by means of the fixed nuclear forces of those atoms, the whole of the world could thus be known by means of the natural sciences.
Science is knowledge arranged and classified according to truth, facts, and the general laws of nature.
The assumption that nature is all there is, and that nature has been governed by the same rules at all times and places, makes it possible for natural science to be confident that it can explain such things as how life began.
The whole edifice of modern physics is built up on the fundamental hypothesis of the atomic or molecular constitution of matter.
We know there must be new physics. For example, we cannot explain what dark matter is.
The development of physics, like the development of any science, is a continuous one.
Science is beautiful when it makes simple explanations of phenomena or connections between different observations. Examples include the double helix in biology and the fundamental equations of physics.
Physics is nothing but the ABC's. Nature is an equation with an unknown, a Hebrew word which is written only with consonants to which reason has to add the dots.
