Physics

Branch of science dealing with the laws and workings of the physical universe, both on the macro-scale and the quantum, subquantum, and sub-planck levels.

Physics is closely tied with Mathematics, and involves the study of the fundamental laws of nature, including the properties of energy, matter, and their interactions. Areas of specialization include classical mechanics, thermodynamics and entropics, classical relativity, quantum mechanics, singularity physics, hyperdimensional physics, unified field theory, superstring, supersymmetry, and brane theory; gauge theory; gravitation and supergravitation, high energy physics; the physics of nano-scale objects, particle physics, solid-state physics, electromagnetism, acoustics, fluids, plasmas, spectroscopy, optics and photonics, biophysics, cryogenics, superconductivity, condensates, super-dense matter; and more. Physics has applications in many other fields of science and technology, including chemistry, biology, astronomy, geology, nano-scale, microscale, macro-scale, and megascale engineering, astrogation and space travel, and more.
