| | | | | | | | | | Physical: Encyclopedia II - Particle physics - History of particle physics The idea that matter is composed of elementary particles dates to at least the 6th century BC. The philosophical doctrine of "atomism" was studied by ancient Greek philosophers such as Leucippus, Democritus, and Epicurus. Although Isaac Newton in the 17th century thought that matter was made up of particles, it was John Dalton who formally stated in 1802 that everything is made from tiny atoms.
Dmitri Mendeleev's first periodic table in 1869 helped cement the view, prevalent throughout the 19th century, that matter was made of atoms. ...

| | | | | | | | | Physical: Encyclopedia II - History of physics - Antiquity Since antiquity, people have tried to understand the behavior of matter: why unsupported objects drop to the ground, why different materials have different properties, and so forth. Also a mystery was the character of the universe, such as the form of the Earth and the behavior of celestial objects such as the Sun and the Moon. Several theories were proposed; most of them were wrong, but this is part of the nature of the scientific enterprise, and even modern theories of quantum mechanics and relativity are merely considered "theories that h ...

| | | | | Physical: Encyclopedia II - Theoretical physics - Overview Theoretical physics is the study of matter and energy through the development of theory and was begun 2300 years ago by the ancient Greek natural philosophers, most notably, Aristotle. The development of theoretical physics was the development of science itself. As theories of matter and energy progressed through the ages, other sciences began to specialize and break off from natural philosophy t ...

| | | | | Physical: Encyclopedia II - Theoretical physics - Overview Theoretical physics began at least 2,300 years ago under the pre-Socratic Greek philosophers, and continued by Plato; and Aristotle, whose views held sway for a millennium. During the Renaissance, the modern concept of experimental science, the counterpoint to theory, began with Francis Bacon. The modern era of theory began perhaps with the Copernican paradigm shift in astronomy, soon followed by the actual planetary orbits due to Keple ...

| | | | | Physical: Encyclopedia II - Physical cosmology - History of physical cosmology Modern cosmology developed along tandem observational and theoretical tracks. In 1915, Albert Einstein developed his theory of general relativity. At the time, physicists were prejudiced to believe in a perfectly static universe without beginning or end. Einstein added a cosmological constant to his theory to try to force it to allow for a static universe with matter in it. The so-called Einstein universe is, however, unstable. It is bound to eventually start expanding or contracting. The cosmological solutions of general relativity were found by Alexander Friedmann, whose equations describe the Friedman ...

| | | | | Physical: Encyclopedia II - Physical oceanography - The physical setting It is impossible to overstate the importance of the oceans in shaping Earth, and giving it its uniqueness. As Matthew Maury said, Our planet is invested with two great oceans; one visible, the other invisible; one underfoot, the other overhead; one entirely envelopes it, the other covers about two thirds of its surface.(Maury 1855)
Roughly 97% of the planet's water is in its oceans, and it is the oceans that are the source of the vast majority of water vapor that eventually falls as rain or snow on the continents (Pinet 1996),( ...

| | | | | | Physical: Encyclopedia II - Plasma physics - Characteristics The term plasma is generally reserved for a system of charged particles large enough to behave as one. Even a partially ionized gas in which as little as 1% of the particles are ionized can have the characteristics of a plasma (i.e. respond to magnetic fields and be highly electrically conductive).
In technical terms, the typical characteristics of a plasma are:
Debye screening lengths that are short compared to the physical size of the plasma.
Large number of particles within a sphere with a radius of the Debye length.
Mean time between collisions usually is long when com ...
