    History Of Physics
    As forms of science historically developed out of philosophy, physics (from Greek: φύσις physis "nature") was originally referred to as natural philosophy, a term describing a field of study concerned with "the workings of nature".
    Early history
    Elements of what became physics were drawn primarily from the fields of astronomy, optics, and mechanics, which were methodologically united through the study of geometry. These mathematical disciplines began in Antiquity with the Babylonians and with Hellenistic writers such as Archimedes and Ptolemy. Meanwhile, philosophy, including what was called “physics”, focused on explanatory (rather than descriptive) schemes, largely developed around the Aristotelian idea of the four types of “causes”. The move towards a rational understanding of nature began at least since the Archaic Period in Greece (650 BCE – 480 ... see more As forms of science historically developed out of philosophy

    This histoy of physics entry is much needed. But is the text taken from somewhere else? The link below is rather similar: Well, as a starting point, it will do. I found a cached copy of this article at Larry It is been edited. If it changes a lot, can it be considered a different article alltogether? JS Maybe, but let's not go down that route. It looks like no one has responded, so I'm going to delete it. Larry New text copied from the body of the Physics article this is hopefully a fresh article, and not plagiarised. This copy can now be expanded to make a fuller history of physics... Mr. 207.35.6.2 Am I the only one who finds it unfortunate that History of Physics has been converted (on June 24) into a rant sandwich? On top, a slice of Antiquity; on the bottom, a slice of modern science; between, a long and bellicose encomium to the glories of Islamic civilization and Islamic science: astronomy, chemistry, mathematics, and even a passing mention of physics! I presume that no one wants to edit out these opinionated and mostly ill-substantiated irrelevancies for the same reason I don't: to do so would be impolitic and downright rude, and even intellectually questionable. After all, Islamic contributions do need to be covered here. At least, I presume they do; I couldn't prove the point from my own knowledge.

    A History of Physics Research at Brookhaven
    Begin your tour of physics discoveries made at Brookhaven From its inception Brookhaven has had a major focus on physics, including the subfields of nuclear, particle and condensed matter, and five Nobel Prizes in physics have resulted. Three of those discoveries were made at the Laboratory's premiere proton accelerator, the Alternating Gradient Synchrotron (AGS), and another Nobel Prize in physics was awarded for a theoretical breakthrough that showed a violation of a supposedly absolute law of physics known as parity conservation. In 2002, Brookhaven's own Ray Davis (a chemist) won the Nobel Prize in physics for the observation of neutrinos produced by the sun. Many other important physics discoveries have been made at BNL facilities over the years, including at the AGS, the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, the National Synchrotron Light Source, the Brookhaven Graphite Research Reactor, the High Flux Beam Reactor and elsewhere. A large number of applications have come from BNL basic research in physics, including many in nuclear medical diagnostics. As we look to the future, exciting avenues of physics research are opening up at the Lab. Many of these will involve cross-disciplinary efforts among physics, chemistry, biology and medicine, with eventual applications in many areas. See a detailed description of these areas:

    History of physics
    - The growth of physics has brought not only fundamental changes in ideas about the material world, mathematics and philosophy, but also, through technology, a transformation of society. Physics is considered both a body of knowledge and the practice that makes and transmits it. Digital physics - In theoretical physics , digital physics holds the basic premise that the entire history of our universe is computable, that is, the output of a (presumably short) computer program. The hypothesis was pioneered in Konrad Zuse's book Rechnender Raum (translated by MIT into English as Calculating Space, 1970). Quantum history - In some physics theories, choosing a 3-geometry via spin network and 4-geometry via spin foam, any superposition of spin networks is called a kinematical state and any superposition of spin foams is called a quantum history The Chemical History of a Candle - The Chemical History of a Candle was the title of a series of lectures on the chemistry and physics of flames given by Michael Faraday at the Royal Institution. This was the origin of the Christmas lectures for young people that are still given there every year and bear his name.
