Physics

Physics is a discipline of natural science, which deals with the study of matter and its movement during space and time, together with associated concepts like force and energy. In general, it is the common study of nature, conducted with the purpose of understanding the way of the behavior of the universe.

Physics is one among the oldest educational disciplines, possibly the oldest through its addition of astronomy. The subject was an element of natural philosophy, together with chemistry, biology, and certain divisions of mathematics over the previous two millennia, but the natural sciences appeared as distinctive research programs in their individual right during the Scientific Revolution in the seventeenth century. Physics interconnects with several interdisciplinary fields of research, like quantum chemistry and biophysics, and the limits of physics are not strictly defined. Physics carries new ideas that often enlighten the basic mechanisms of other sciences, though opening new ways of research in areas, like philosophy and mathematics.

Physics as well, plays a vital role through advances in innovative technologies that crop up from hypothetical breakthroughs. This includes advances in the perception of nuclear physics or electromagnetism led to the advancement of new products directly, which have changed modern society dramatically, like television, domestic appliances, computers, and nuclear weapons. Advances in mechanics stirred the growth of calculus and advances in thermodynamics had shown the way to the growth of industrialization, and advances in mechanics stirred the growth of calculus.

History

The ancient civilizations during 3000 BCE, like the Ancient Egyptians, Sumerians, and the Indus Valley Civilization, all had an extrapolate knowledge and a basic perception of the movements of the sun, stars and the moon. The planets and stars were the regular objects of worship, believed to symbolize their gods. As the elucidations for these phenomena were habitually unscientific and lacking in proof, these premature observations laid the base for the later astronomy.

According to Asger Hartvig Aaboe, a historian of the exact mathematician and sciences, the origin of the Western astronomy can be seen in Mesopotamia, and all Western attempts in the exact sciences are originated from the late Babylonian astronomy. Astronomers of Egypt left monuments, showed the knowledge of the constellations and the movements of the space bodies, whereas Homer, the ancient Greek poet wrote about a variety of celestial objects in his books Odyssey and Iliad. Later, astronomers of Greece provided names that are still in use today for nearly all constellations observable from the northern hemisphere.

Applications of Physics

Physics is used in engineering to a great extent in the field of statics, a subdivision of mechanics. It is also used in the construction of bridges and other stationary structures. The perception and the use of acoustics causes noise control and improved concert halls. In the same way, the application of optics produces better optical appliances. An understanding about physics makes for additional practical flight simulators, movies and video games, and is habitually important in forensic examinations.

Physics can be exercised to learn things, which would be mired ordinarily in uncertainty. This is because the normal agreement is that the laws of physics are common and do not vary with time. Moreover, during the learning of the origin of the earth, one can logically model the temperature, mass, and rate of rotation of the earth, as a job of time, enabling one to extrapolate backward and forward in time and so forecast before and after conditions. It as well, allows for reproductions in engineering that drastically accelerate the growth of an innovative technology.
