From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
Physics (from the Greek, φυσικός (physikos), "natural", and φύσις (physis), "Nature") is the science of Nature in the broadest sense. Physicists study the behavior and properties of matter in a wide variety of contexts, ranging from the sub-microscopic particles from which all ordinary matter is made (particle physics) to the behavior of the material Universe as a whole (cosmology).
...that gravitational tidal accelerations are the result of the curvature of spacetime?
...that the impact of a raindrop would be fatal if not for the notion of terminal velocity?
...that a moonbow, or night-time rainbow, can be seen on strongly-moonlit nights?
...that transits of Venus occur in a 243-year cycle?
