1920’s. In 1956‚ Benjamin Lee Whorf published his work developing this hypothesis based on his work using the Hopi and English languages. Both of the ideas are commonly known as the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis and also commonly referred to as linguistic relativity. The Sapir-Whorf hypothesis asserted the influence of language on thought and perception. The hypothesis implies that speakers of different languages think and perceive reality in different ways and that each language has its own worldview. This

Life cycle of a star Every star has a life cycle just like a human or a frog except stars do it on a much larger scale. Stars start life as a massive cloud of matter and then get pulled together to create a star. But stars do not last forever most stars last for millions of years but they still end. When a stars life ends it may explode or implode to create a black hole. The reason stars even start life and end life is because of nuclear fusion. Nuclear fusion is a reaction where matter is forced

The Other Side of Einstein Albert Einstein‚ arguably the greatest scientist and mathematician of all time‚ is mostly known for his prominent scientific discoveries and achievements. He is often perceived by the public as a scientist who lived his life in his laboratory studying‚ void of any social life. However‚ in the essay "My Friend‚ Albert Einstein" by Banesh Hoffmann‚ Einstein’s long time friend attempts to depict Einstein as a humble and compassionate man‚ contrary to the mythological figure

This is in contrast to ordinary quantum field theory‚ which predicts point particles that emit and absorb each other. String theory is a candidate for a Theory of Everything." String theory would solve the long fight between Einstein’s theory of relativity and Quantum Physics. String theory proclaims that everything in our universe‚ from stars and suns to apples and atoms‚ is made up of incredibly small particles called strings. Strings are so small‚ that if an atom were the size of our solar system

far‚ so good: Einstein’s equations predict the shape of the moon’s orbit as well as laser ranging can measure it. But Einstein‚ constantly tested‚ isn’t out of the woods yet. Some physicists (Alley is one of them) believe his general theory of relativity is flawed. If there is a flaw‚ lunar laser ranging might yet find it.” This experiment is now being used to check the theories of many of the astronomers throughout history Sources: http://www.nasa.gov/vision/space/features/21jul_llr.html http://nssdc

Physics is a diverse area of study and in order to make sense of it scientists have been forced to focus their attention on one or two smaller areas of the discipline. This allows them to become experts in that narrow field‚ without getting bogged down in the sheer volume of knowledge that exists regarding the natural world. Below is a list - by no comprehensive - of different disciplines of physics. The list will be updated with new additions and definitions as appropriate. Acoustics - the study
