Physics

  • Outer space, especially the relatively empty regions of the universe outside the atmospheres of celestial bodies
  • Vacuum, a volume of space that is essentially empty of matter, such that its gaseous pressure is much less than atmospheric pressure
  • Free space, a perfect vacuum as expressed in the classical physics model
  • Vacuum state, a perfect vacuum based on the quantum mechanical model
  • In mathematical physics, the homogeneous equation may correspond to a physical theory formulated in empty space
  • Void, empty space.

Famous quotes containing the word physics:

    Now the twitching stops. Now you are still. We are through with physiology and theology, physics begins.
    Alfred Döblin (1878–1957)

    It is hardly to be believed how spiritual reflections when mixed with a little physics can hold people’s attention and give them a livelier idea of God than do the often ill-applied examples of his wrath.
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)

    Mathematics should be mixed not only with physics but with ethics.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
