Tier 2-3 Physics Brennen Astraea

Brennen Astraea takes a seat next to his friend Saxon and cracks open his own text book! It was time to start studying himself! While his friend was learning about Chemisty, it was time for the swordsmen to devle back into physics. He hadn't studyed this in a good long while, but he wasn't scared to move on with his own studying! He would begin to read aloud. (1)

"Physics is the natural science that studies matter, its motion and behavior through space and time, and the related entities of energy and force. Physics is one of the most fundamental scientific disciplines, and its main goal is to understand how the universe behaves.Physics is one of the oldest academic disciplines and, through its inclusion of astronomy, perhaps the oldest. (2)

 Over much of the past two millennia, physics, chemistry, biology, and certain branches of mathematics were a part of natural philosophy, but during the Scientific Revolution these natural sciences emerged as unique research endeavors in their own right. (3)

Physics intersects with many interdisciplinary areas of research, such as biophysics and quantum chemistry, and the boundaries of physics are not rigidly defined. New ideas in physics often explain the fundamental mechanisms studied by other sciences and suggest new avenues of research in academic disciplines such as mathematics and philosophy. (4)

Advances in physics often enable advances in new technologies. For example, advances in the understanding of electromagnetism, solid-state physics led directly to the development of new products that have dramatically transformed modern-day society, such as television, computers, domestic appliances, and weapons; advances in thermodynamics led to the development of industrialization; and advances in mechanics inspired the development of calculus. (5)

Brennen paused and looked around, taking note of the room. He wasn't really focused outwardly, as he tended to get caught up in the affairs of his reading. He would take a small drink of water and glance to Saxon, to see if the male was still working on his own topic. The Astraea would also be taking notes in a small notebook now and again. (6)

returned to his reading, and continued to do so outloud. He enjoyed when he was able to gain knowladge and share it at the same time. Physics was a complex field of study, and it had a diverse list of uses. He intended to make full use of these uses in both combat and life. Knowladge was power, and this Astraea planned to make full use of said power. (7)

"Though physics deals with a wide variety of systems, certain theories are used by all physicists. Each of these theories was experimentally tested numerous times and found to be an adequate approximation of nature. For instance, the theory of classical mechanics accurately describes the motion of objects, provided they are much larger than atoms and moving at much less than the speed of light. (8)

These theories continue to be areas of active research today. Chaos theory, a remarkable aspect of classical mechanics, was discovered in the in an earlier century, three centuries after the original formulation of classical mechanics. (9)

These central theories are important tools for research into more specialised topics, and any physicist, regardless of their specialisation, is expected to be literate in them. These include classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, thermodynamics and statistical mechanics, electromagnetism, and special relativity. (10)

Classical physics includes the traditional branches and topics that were recognised and well-developed before the beginning of the 20th century, classical mechanics, acoustics, optics, thermodynamics, and electromagnetism. Classical mechanics is concerned with bodies acted on by forces and bodies in motion. (11)

These may be divided into statics (study of the forces on a body or bodies not subject to an acceleration), kinematics (study of motion without regard to its causes), and dynamics (study of motion and the forces that affect it); mechanics may also be divided into solid mechanics and fluid mechanics (known together as continuum mechanics).(12)

The latter include such branches as hydrostatics, hydrodynamics, aerodynamics, and pneumatics. Acoustics is the study of how sound is produced, controlled, transmitted and received. Important modern branches of acoustics include ultrasonics, the study of sound waves of very high frequency beyond the range of human hearing; bioacoustics, the physics of animal calls and hearing, and electroacoustics, the manipulation of audible sound waves using electronics. (13)

Optics, the study of light, is concerned not only with visible light but also with infrared and ultraviolet radiation, which exhibit all of the phenomena of visible light except visibility, e.g., reflection, refraction, interference, diffraction, dispersion, and polarization of light. (14)

Heat is a form of energy, the internal energy possessed by the particles of which a substance is composed; thermodynamics deals with the relationships between heat and other forms of energy. Electricity and magnetism have been studied as a single branch of physics since the intimate connection between them was discovered in the early 19th century; an electric current gives rise to a magnetic field, and a changing magnetic field induces an electric current. Electrostatics deals with electric charges at rest, electrodynamics with moving charges, and magnetostatics with magnetic poles at rest." (15)

Brennen now paused, taking fresh notes, putting to mind what he'd learned from Tobe and noteing that Physics had a placement in almost all aspects of life. He had even learned some similer concepts while working on Biology. It was insane how many things crossed paths with this field of study. (16)

Would continue to read from his book, aloud.

"Classical physics is generally concerned with matter and energy on the normal scale of observation, while much of modern physics is concerned with the behavior of matter and energy under extreme conditions or on a very large or very small scale. For example, atomic and nuclear physics study matter on the smallest scale at which chemical elements can be identified. (17)

The physics of elementary particles is on an even smaller scale since it is concerned with the most basic units of matter; this branch of physics is also known as high-energy physics because of the extremely high energies necessary to produce many types of particles in particle accelerators. (18)

On this scale, ordinary, commonsensical notions of space, time, matter, and energy are no longer valid.The two chief theories of modern physics present a different picture of the concepts of space, time, and matter from that presented by classical physics. (19)

Classical mechanics approximates nature as continuous, while quantum theory is concerned with the discrete nature of many phenomena at the atomic and subatomic level and with the complementary aspects of particles and waves in the description of such phenomena. (20)

The theory of relativity is concerned with the description of phenomena that take place in a frame of reference that is in motion with respect to an observer; the special theory of relativity is concerned with motion in the absence of gravitational fields and the general theory of relativity with motion and its connection with gravitation. Both quantum theory and the theory of relativity find applications in all areas of modern physics. (21)

While physics aims to discover universal laws, its theories lie in explicit domains of applicability.

Loosely speaking, the laws of classical physics accurately describe systems whose important length scales are greater than the atomic scale and whose motions are much slower than the speed of light. (22)

Outside of this domain, observations do not match predictions provided by classical mechanics. One phsyicist contributed the framework of special relativity, which replaced notions of absolute time and space with spacetime and allowed an accurate description of systems whose components have speeds approaching the speed of light. (23)

Others introduced quantum mechanics, a probabilistic notion of particles and interactions that allowed an accurate description of atomic and subatomic scales. Later, quantum field theory unified quantum mechanics and special relativity. (24)

General relativity allowed for a dynamical, curved spacetime, with which highly massive systems and the large-scale structure of the universe can be well-described. General relativity has not yet been unified with the other fundamental descriptions; several candidate theories of quantum gravity are being developed. (25)

Physics uses mathematics to organise and formulate experimental results. From those results, precise or estimated solutions are obtained, quantitative results from which new predictions can be made and experimentally confirmed or negated. (26)

The results from physics experiments are numerical data, with their units of measure and estimates of the errors in the measurements. Technologies based on mathematics, like computation have made computational physics an active area of research. (27)

Ontology is a prerequisite for physics, but not for mathematics. It means physics is ultimately concerned with descriptions of the real world, while mathematics is concerned with abstract patterns, even beyond the real world. Thus physics statements are synthetic, while mathematical statements are analytic. (28)

Mathematics contains hypotheses, while physics contains theories. Mathematics statements have to be only logically true, while predictions of physics statements must match observed and experimental data." (29)

Brennen finally closed the book he had been reading aloud from, That last portion had been long and detailed. His mind was swimming with information. He took free his note book and marked more interestig facts down upon paper. He felt closer to knowing all he needed to know for Physics. (30)

The Foundation of Science: A collection of notes and study-aids brought together in a well-written book. 'The Foundation of Science' touches upon multiple subjects ranging from chemistry, biology, physics, and mathematics. Those who read this book begin their path to become future scientists and inventors, unraveling the world's mysteries and paving a better tomorrow for humanity. Yanhui Xiaoli wrote this book to spread the gift of knowledge to others.
