Physicsis the science that quantifies reality. Its influence extends to all the natural sciences, including biophysics, astronomy, and chemistry. Physics classifies all interactions between matter and energy and tries to answer the most central questions of the universe. From Aristotle and Isaac Newton to Marie Curie, philosophers and scientists have been using physics to understand the world for at least 2,000 years.

In any field, a scientist needs a handle on the basics before finding answers to fundamental questions. In physics, different types of matter-energy interactions define the basic branches of the sciences. Energy takes the form of heat, light, radiation, sound, motion, and electricity. It can be stored in an object's position, chemical bonds, physical tension, and atomic nuclei. Matter refers to anything with mass, or anything made up of atoms, that takes up space. From the bonding of atoms to the combustion of an engine, matter and energy interact in all facets of life, defining the physical world.

As current and former students are aware, physics makes sense of the relationships between matter and energy through mathematics; although, an appreciation for how physics shapes the world doesn't require advanced computational skills. Stacker used a variety of scientific and educational resources to compile a list of basic physics concepts to help explain how the world works. From Newton's Laws of Motion to electric forces, these concepts explain why matter behaves the way it does.

Physicists commonly use velocity and acceleration to characterize motion. Velocity refers to motion in a specific direction, while acceleration measures how quickly or slowly velocity changes. For example, when driving somewhere, both a driver and a car have velocity, meaning they move in a specific direction at some speed. Said driver probably changes how fast they travel from time to time, alternately accelerating and decelerating.

Most famous as the force that makes things fall down, more fundamentally, gravity is a force of attraction. Not only does it attract things to Earth's surface, but it keeps planets orbiting stars. Gravity is also the reason things have weight. Everything has mass, a measure of the amount of matter in an object, but the force of Earth's gravitational pull is what creates weight.

The low-speed limits posted for on and off-ramps are there for a reason: centripetal force. When something accelerates along a circular path, centripetal force keeps it going in the circle. For curved exit ramps, the speed limits have been specially calculated to ensure that centripetal force keeps the car on its path.

Torque is the reason doors have knobs and hinges on opposite sides and is the force that causes an object to rotate or twist about an axis. It requires more force to rotate an object when pushing closest to the axis of rotation, which is why doorknobs are nearly as far as possible from the hinges.

Simple harmonic motion involves oscillations, like a block bouncing up and down on a spring, or a pendulum swinging left, right, and back again. With this kind of movement, an object passes through a central position to one side and then moves the same amount to the other side after each pass through the center so that maximum displacement is equal on both ends.

From river flow to wind patterns, fluid dynamics explains some of the most common forces of nature. Physicists and engineers study flow rates of fluids, type of flow (like smooth or turbulent), friction, pressure, fluid thickness, and more to understand liquids and gases. Anyone with air travel experience has benefitted from the study of fluid dynamics. The shape of airplane wings takes advantage of airflow, the curved top and flat bottom manipulating air pressure to lift the plane.

Thermodynamics regards different kinds of heat and energy transfer. Heat is a form of energy and can transfer from a hot object or area to a cooler one through radiation, physical contact, or the flow of heated particles known as convection. Heat represents energy transferred between systems because of a temperature difference, while temperature measures how fast atoms are moving.

Electricity exists thanks to positive and negative charges, largely carried by two subatomic particles: protons, which are positively charged, and electrons, which are negatively charged. Opposite charges attract each other, while like charges repel. Whenever one of these charged particles moves, it creates an electrical current.

In the past 2 decades, sonoelastography has been progressively used as a tool to help evaluate soft-tissue elasticity and add to information obtained with conventional gray-scale and Doppler ultrasonographic techniques. Recently introduced on clinical scanners, shear-wave elastography (SWE) is considered to be more objective, quantitative, and reproducible than compression sonoelastography with increasing applications to the musculoskeletal system. SWE uses an acoustic radiation force pulse sequence to generate shear waves, which propagate perpendicular to the ultrasound beam, causing transient displacements. The distribution of shear-wave velocities at each pixel is directly related to the shear modulus, an absolute measure of the tissue's elastic properties. Shear-wave images are automatically coregistered with standard B-mode images to provide quantitative color elastograms with anatomic specificity. Shear waves propagate faster through stiffer contracted tissue, as well as along the long axis of tendon and muscle. SWE has a promising role in determining the severity of disease and treatment follow-up of various musculoskeletal tissues including tendons, muscles, nerves, and ligaments. This article describes the basic ultrasound physics of SWE and its applications in the evaluation of various traumatic and pathologic conditions of the musculoskeletal system. RSNA, 2017.

This is definitely a fascinating project, and one in which I would very much like to become involved. I have a Masters degree in theoretical physics from the University of Chicago and a Ph.D. in mathematics from UC Berkeley as well as many years of programming experience, so I feel I would be well qualified to work on this project.

This is no different then what all of the other theorists are saying in reference to their own particular ways of using math to discover a theory of everything. People keep attempting to use math to explain that which can never be understood via math.

To contemplate a fundamental theory of everything it seems reasonable to give some reflection upon the fundamental physical entities considered to be the foundation of physics. Perhaps there are only 2 such fundamental entities (location, substance).

Time and distance may be perceived as manifestations of location. If the velocity of light is structure to be unity (1) the magnitude of time or distance from origin of a light ray will be equal. A single scalar magnitude in one dimensional space yields location as time and distance share quantity.

Philosophically the reader is being asked to look at a one dimensional universe as a database (of substance and location) and examined the theory that if we know anything at all about any data that is not null then we know EVERYTHING about all data sets that are in the base. The theory is a fundamental relationship between all substance and all locations originating at the square root of the existence constant on the hyperbola.

A simplified analogous example would be to consider a low resolution black and white monitor. Every possible permutations of different screens can be produced. Each screen is a picture of at least something, some where, some time in the universe at that definition. A valid theory should result in the ordering of these screens into a movie of the universe.

ECTOE is a compact, simple, General Theory. String Theory may well be a specialized instantiation of ECTOE. It, ECTOE, is consistent with an accelerating expanding universe. It also suggest that the same type of motion phenomenon occurs within particles and aggregates of particles as with the overall universe. Essentially substance and strings are synonymous where and when time and distance are considered identical location.

Dark matter and effects suggesting the existence of Dark matter would be consistent with ECTOE assuming it is observed or suggested in a manner compatible with the acquisition or disposal of substance in exchange for location. (Light would even contribute some portion to dark matter for substance is substance according to ECTOE)

It is possible that Ectoe is a valid description of the universe inclusive of all other such possible universes. Even if this is not true Ectoe is perhaps otherwise the best science fiction ever Developed, condensed and expressed mathematically. The existence Constance is constrained to have a pair of real factors, each of which must be less than infinite and greater than zero. In this way existence is bounded between an outer limit like barrier of maximum existence potential and near the origin of near total kinetic existence. The theory suggesting a unique reflection of existence occurs at each barrier. However any movement back to the origin is difficult to detect having occurred at a location (inclusive of time) before the observer could note. We see the universe flying apart with a tendency to randomness. ECTOE is suggesting a kind of cyclic equilibrium returning order to the universe occurs for the next expansion event.

A spin off here would be possible theoretical support for many extra sensory perceptions claims such as telepathy as well as pre, concurrent and retro cognition. This is all just too weird. Nonetheless I would hope the orbital mechanics people might occasionally check the data of known anomalies. Look for a directional preference along which a object might seem to slightly accelerate and then slightly decelerate on a approximate reverse course. (As if a substance gradient was present)
