The False Force - Gravity
... The effect of gravity of large distances is also more significant in the universe on the macroscopic scale, showing that the presence of large masses seem to be responsible for gravity, despite distance. The distortion of space-time can be felt at extremely macroscopic distances. Gravity also seems ...

RP 3P1 Force and Motion - NC Science Wiki
... The two kinds of forces we are commonly aware of are gravitational and electromagnetic. Everything in the universe exerts gravitational forces on everything else, although the effects are readily noticeable only when at least one very large mass is involved (such as a star or planet). Gravity is the ...

Newton`s law in braneworlds with an infinite extra dimension
... Recent ideas of extra dimensions have developed rapidly and its investigations have become a center of particle physics and cosmology. It is satisfactory to consider that our four-dimensional world is embedded in higher dimensional world. This picture which comes from sting/M-theory is so-called bra ...

mathematical principles of natural philosophy
... The scientific revolution of the seventeenth century began to validate those dreams of ancient Greece. That revolution led to Isaac Newton’s mathematical laws of motion and of gravity. Newton’s laws permitted precise calculation of the motion of planets and comets, and provided powerful tools for de ...

It Must Be Beautiful: Great Equations of Modern Science
... 0. The book. It Must Be Beautiful describes eleven great equations of modern science. (It is not claimed that these are the only great equations.) To qualify as great, the equation must summarize a key principle of a domain of knowledge and have significant implications for scientific and general cu ...

A New Constraint on Strongly Coupled Field Theories
... Four dimensional field theories have been remarkably successful at describing nature at energies less than several hundred GeV. Unfortunately progress at higher energies has been frustrated by a dearth of general theoretical tools that apply to strongly coupled models. Our understanding of field the ...

Physics and Philosophy Meet: the Strange Case of Poincaré
... But, the puzzle of Poincaré’s attitude having been posed, let us turn to a sketch of the history of his engagement with the problems of electrodynamics in general. He concerned himself with such problems from 1888, when he offered lectures at the Sorbonne on Maxwell’s theory (published as Part I of ...

History of physics
Physics (from the Ancient Greek φύσις physis meaning ""nature"") is the fundamental branch of science that developed out of the study of nature and philosophy known, until around the end of the 19th century, as ""natural philosophy"". Today, physics is ultimately defined as the study of matter, energy and the relationships between them. Physics is, in some senses, the oldest and most basic pure science; its discoveries find applications throughout the natural sciences, since matter and energy are the basic constituents of the natural world. The other sciences are generally more limited in their scope and may be considered branches that have split off from physics to become sciences in their own right. Physics today may be divided loosely into classical physics and modern physics.
