hi guys am here charles ajibola physics ui

i read physics too (FUTA). and so glad to discover a forum like this!

Great physicist! lets share our experiences together (talking about life after school). i am presently serving with a telecom company that is into fibre optics networking in Abuja.

@rmho I hold the belief that chemistry is the central science.

you claim it is physics.
would you mind shedding some light? please.

if you say that physics is the mother and the study of natural science, then what do you say about biology, i dont agree with you on that. physics has to do mostly with calculations not really natural science.

IMO Chemistry is the central science.

Chemistry is an incredibly fascinating field of study. Because it is so fundamental to our world, chemistry plays a role in everyone's lives and touches almost every aspect of our existence in some way. Chemistry is essential for meeting our basic needs of food, clothing, shelter, health, energy, and clean air, water, and soil. Chemical technologies enrich our quality of life in numerous ways by providing new solutions to problems in health, materials, and energy usage. Thus, studying chemistry is useful in preparing us for the real world.

Chemistry is often referred to as the central science because it joins together physics and mathematics, biology and medicine, and the earth and environmental sciences. Knowledge of the nature of chemicals and chemical processes therefore provides insights into a variety of physical and biological phenomena. Knowing something about chemistry is worthwhile because it provides an excellent basis for understanding the physical universe we live in. For better or for worse, everything is chemical!

P.S. Chem ain't mah field so don't thaink ah be biased aigh.

Geolalisa re-read my post 'carefully' before textually assaulting me of plagiawhateverism will you &  no I wasn't deviating.
If you still can't figure something out I'll give you hints
1: Read This
2: Bolded texts
3: Source: link

Since you've failed to realize that the answer to your question was embedded within the bolded text
here it is again:


if you still disagree with me, I'd like you to re-phrase your term 'mother of science' - it is very vague to write that 'physics is the mother of science because it is the study of nature.'

Also Geolalisa about your response @ toksun
I'll text my opinion on this since I feel the statement is incorrect - There have been books written about biology also being a study of nature(Refer to: The Creation by Edward O. Wilson).  I'd think biology is a type of study of nature since biologists also examine the effects of nature on our health & many other areas.

You say that "Physics is the study of nature." True, but so is chemistry, biology, and many other sciences. In fact, we can easily define science as the systematized knowledge of nature and our physical world.

And if you still want an activity: How about sexual intercourse

This is a classic example of petitio principii (begging the question) / circular reasoning.
So you're basically telling me that physics is the mother of all science because it just is.

Let's assume I agree with you which I don't. Please shed some proof on why, as you said, it is the .

Kobesosimi, i never thought i will still be on this,but since u insist.lets hit the road.

i said 'physics is the mother of science and the bedrock on which other branches depend on'OH YES!
Remember, i said physics is the study of nature because it attempts to describe the fundamental nature of the universe and how it works.E.g Physics explains why rainbows have colours,what keeps satellite in orbit, and what atoms and nuclei are made of.

Physics is applied in life science(biology),when we talk about the power of the heart,human energy,surface tension and the lungs,x-ray dosage etc.

in chemistry,when we talk about the wave theory of hydrogen atom, condensed matter,ideal gas theory,i can go on and on and on,if u want to.

Physics is also applied in Astronomy,geology,architecture and most definitely,in our everyday life,sports;rowing across a river,pedaling a bicycle,high diver,sky diving ,etc.in our electrical appliances at home,Airplane flight,walking and running etc.

Can i ask u a question? have u ever asked why is it that anything u throw up comes down,why don't it remain there.u see,that is one of Newtons law.hope u know who newton is?

so which of the branches of science is the head?i will like u to answer that. cheers.
hope this finds u in a good mood.

@ kobesosimi

Yes my lord!
Case dismissed
i like your last sentence.

Help me understand the true meanings of
Mass
Weight
Gravity
Acceleration
Velocity
Speed
Force
Work
Torque
Pressure

Please?

well i was thinking of a new invention in electricity transmission, as we know how telecommunication has boosted, i was thinking if it can ever be possible to transmit electricity without using connection wires just as we use our phones now compared to the olden days. what do you physicists think, is it ever possible. say your views.

electricity can be transmitted without wires.check your physics text books very well for more info.
gentility.
