Physicists like to pretend they ' re mathematicians when they ' re not doing anything else.

The goal of physicists is to find a use for every branch of mathematics.

At the end of the 19 th century, physicists believed that light was a mechanical oscillation in a mechanical medium, the aether.

It is a particle accelerator used by physicists to study the smallest known particles the fundamental building blocks of all things.

In 1994, the Charge Composition Explorer spacecraft measured the Earth ' s magnetic field and physicists used this data to define an upper limit of 0.0000000000000006 electron volts for the mass of photons, with a high certainty in the results

Participants include Michio Kaku, Paul Steinhardt, and other physicists

The idea that we live in a hologram probably sounds absurd, but it is a natural extension of our best understanding of black holes, and something with a pretty firm theoretical footing. It has also been surprisingly helpful for physicists wrestling with theories of how the universe works at its most fundamental level

Economists don t require equipment as sophisticated as biologists or physicists, but they do need working computers. When my computer is down at Columbia, it gets repaired in an hour, Chiappori tells me. In Paris, it would take a month. Efficient management also helps secure the research grants that are seminal to cutting-edge academic work. In France, I could get grants, but it would require weeks of bureaucratic work, he explains. In the U. S., one can focus on the substance of the research request, and the administration then takes over and smooths the bureaucratic process for you. No, nije sve tako crno i Europa pokazuje zube: The leading American universities may have the edge that Chiappori and others describe, but they are losing it, Hellwig claims.

More recently, a small group of physicists has returned to the full nonlinearities of Einstein ' s general relativity, and - - using a new mathematical symbolism invented by Abhay Ashtekar - - they have attempted to visualize the structure of the corresponding quantum theory.45 The picture they obtain is intriguing: As in string theory, the space-time manifold is only an approximation valid at large distances, not an objective reality.

According to a much-discussed survey reported in the journal Nature in 1997, 40 percent of biologists, physicists and mathematicians said they believed in God - and not just a nonspecific transcendental presence but, as the survey put it, a God to whom one may pray " in expectation of receiving an answer.

In the 1990 s physicists Leonard Susskind and Nobel prizewinner Gerard ' t Hooft suggested that the same principle might apply to the universe as a whole.

When dynamical systems - - those that change their behavior over time - - become chaotic, or totally unpredictable, physicists describe the route they take with such fractals.

Called strange attractors, these objects are not real physical entities but abstractions that exist in " phase space, " an expanse with as many dimensions as physicists need to describe dynamical physical behavior.

Most physicists who study chaos do so with carefully controlled laboratory setups of turbulent fluid flow.

Many physicists find such ideas abhorrent, because they run counter to " common sense ".

Mathematicians were just over 40 % likely, biologists just under 30 %, and physicists were barely over 20 % likely to believe in God

During the final years of the 19 th century, many physicists found themselves discussing the validity of the mechanical world view, which until then had been taken for granted.

Particles that travel faster than light, dubbed tachyons, have been proposed by particle physicists but have yet to be observed, and would potentially violate causality if they were

But revolutions in physics have repeatedly occurred, such as the quantum revolution in which the radical property of non-locality, previously considered impossible, is now accepted by physicists (see Aspect and Grangier 1986, Bransden and Joachain 1989, p. 671 - 681, Chiao et al 1993, Squires 1990, p. 173, Rae 1986, p. 25 - 44, and Penrose 1990, p. 369)

Since traveling faster than the speed of light is tantamount to breaking the time barrier, this daunting prospect has caused some physicists to try to come up with elaborate ways to explain away Aspect ' s findings.

A pair of German physicists claim to have broken the speed of light - an achievement that would undermine our entire understanding of space and time

Oni kažu stanice kao samoorganizacija (autopoiesis) može se poajaviti u nekoliko milisekunda. (" Physicists have created blobs of gaseous plasma that can grow, replicate and communicate - fulfilling most of the traditional requirements for biological cells.

Unlike the beaming of actual physical objects and people between distant locations popularized in the Star Trek science fiction series, the term teleportation is how physicists describe a transfer of quantum states between separate atoms.

Physicists, in particular, claim that the film grossly misrepresents the meaning of various principles of quantum mechanics, and is in fact pseudoscience
