Modern innovation springs from a deep understanding of physics, electronics, math, chemistry and biology--not Proust.
It is very human to be destabilized by challenges to a lifetime of work and an understanding of physics that has been established by the fathers.
Scientists such as Sir Isaac Newton considered the quest to create the stuff in a laboratory to be much more important than figuring out gravity and other principles that underpin our modern-day understanding of physics.
WSJ: In Thailand, Those Seeking A Golden Glow Rush to the Spa
Our best understanding of physics so far, called the Standard Model, suggests that the complicated cascades of decay of D-mesons into other particles should be very nearly the same - within less than 0.1% - as a similar chain of antimatter decays.
Choosing (or making) the perfect golf club means understanding the basics of physics and engineering.
And the key to understanding why ASSIA has such a commanding market share can be found in understanding the economics and physics of copper wires.
FORBES: AT&T's $14 Billion U-Verse Investment boosts ASSIA, Tweaks Verizon
There are, indeed, many philosophers in the San Francisco startup scene, but even more relevant than philosophy for understanding these changes, is physics.
FORBES: Om Malik's Data Darwinism And The New Physics Of Information
Although this might seem a little esoteric, discovery of this baryon provides further proof of the validity of the Standard Model of Particle Physics, and helps contribute to our understanding of atomic interactions.
FORBES: Large Hadron Collider Discovers Beautiful New Particle
In fact, the vortices were observed breaking themselves apart in a particular way, which will provide insights that could assist our understanding of turbulence, plasma physics, and even the general behaviour of fluids.
ENGADGET: Alt-week 3.9.13: Sunstones, knotted vortices and a zero-g robot
That is fine in theory, but it presents a problem: If our current understanding of the laws of physics tells us that as much matter as anti-matter must have been created in the Big Bang, then where has all the anti-matter gone?
The results "could help foster a new understanding of the fields of fundamental physics and astrophysics, " NASA administrator Charles Bolden said in a statement Wednesday.
CNN: Space station detector gives first clues to 'dark matter'
Dr Nambu, who was at the University of Chicago, provided the mathematical foundations for understanding the spontaneous breaking of symmetries in fundamental physics.
Off the playing fields, Princeton professor Daniel Tsui Chye won the Nobel Prize in Physics, along with two colleagues, for a breakthrough in understanding how subatomic particles behave.
