This is an expository article attempting to acquaint algebraically inclined readers with some basic notions of modern physics, making use of Hamilton’s quaternions rather than the more sophisticated spinor calculus. While quaternions play almost no rôle in mainstream physics, they afford a quick en ...

... where the right hand side denotes the gravitational force on the particle. If we perform space inversion (i.e., change r to −r), the force changes sign, but so does a, since it is defined to be d2 r/dt2 . So Eq. (4.1) does not change. Similarly, if we perform a time inversion (i.e., change t to −t), ...

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.
