In 1702 Guillaume Amontons introduced the concept of absolute zero based on observations of gases. In 1810, Sir John Leslie froze water to ice artificially. The idea of absolute zero was generalised in 1848 by Lord Kelvin. In 1906, Walther Nernst stated the third law of thermodynamics. Adapted...
Classical mechanics was traditionally divided into three main branches: * Statics, the study of equilibrium and its relation to forces. * Dynamics, the study of motion and its relation to forces. * Kinematics, dealing with the implications of observed motions without regard for circumstances...

Cryogenicsinversion temperature in thermodynamics and cryogenics is the critical temperature below which a non-ideal gas (all gases in reality) that is expanded at constant enthalpy will experience a temperature decrease, and above which will experience a temperature increase. This temperature ...

Organic chemistryIt may be fascinating to delve into the realms of chemistry and unravel its many mysteries, but it's certainly not the easiest of subjects to master.

Natural ScienceNaturalism sounds like a reasonable position with scientific backing, at least on the surface. Much of it is taught in our schools as a series of facts. But do facts really support the theory? Let's take a closer look at ...
By: Man SinghRight from ancient time science has revolutionized a wheel of progress made so far. Historical contribution of science for society was initiated by Alexander Grahm Bell whose mom and students whom he married were deaf, on March 10, ...
Models based on general relativity play an important role in astrophysics, and the success of these models is further testament to the theory’s validity. Gravitational lensing Since light is deflected in a gravitational field, it is possible for the light ...
AstrophysicsWe know many things, but there are many things of which we can never think of. We don't know how many planets we have in this whole universe, we don't know many facts about our galaxy. Similarly, there are many ...
There are cases in physics when it is not possible to derive a theory for describing observed results from the known first principles (such as Newton’s laws of motion or Maxwell’s equations of electromagnetism). There may be several reasons for ...
MirrorThis is a straightforward critics to Copenhagen School about the experiment of thought from Erwin Shrodinger. It Is another way to view the nature itself without going to the extreme idealism about tha facts of Nature.
In ancient and medieval times, the objective study of nature was known as natural philosophy. In late medieval and early modern times, a philosophical interpretation of nature was gradually replaced by a scientific approach using inductive methodology. The works of ...
General relativity gravitationDescribes the apparent contradicions between relativity and quantum physics. Shows how the contradictions are resolved by string theory. The theories loosely based on string theory that deny the law of entropy are absurd. Spontaneous generation of the universe is one ...
Astrophysics (Greek: ”Astro ”- meaning “star”, and Greek: ”physis ”– ”φύσις ” – meaning “nature”) is the branch of astronomy that deals with the physics of the universe, including the physical properties (luminosity, density, temperature, and chemical composition) of celestial ...
Paleontology universitiesThere is increasing concern about the end of the world and 2012, but what did Christ say would be the greatest deception of the last days?
The foundations of the physical sciences rests upon key concepts and theories, each of which explains and/or models a particular aspect of the behavior of nature. Basic principles of chemistry *Chemical thermodynamics *Nuclear chemistry **The nature of the atomic nucleus ...
