physicist.noun
a scientist who specializes in physics
physics.noun.plural
the science dealing with the properties, changes,
interaction, etc. of matter and energy, subdivided into mechanics, thermodynamics,
optics, acoustics, etc., and by which science, consistent explanations
of experience result regarding the physical universe, its laws, forms,
structure,
various systems and their processes; the mathematically corroborative
laws of physics and chemistry manage a growing organism's reactions to
its genetic instructions; these are far more important than
meagre-(by
comparison, yet still a gargantuan
task) attempts to understand
the human genome, a minute part
in the overall pattern of life.
The laws of physics have to do with the study
of the natural world and its physical properties, interactions, processes
(or, laws {how these laws or processes work, so man can become aligned
with them and so be able to do things, such as airplane flight, etc.}).
The laws of physics include the science of matter and energy and their
interactions, which are integrated
in traditional fields such as acoustics, optics, mechanics, thermodynamics,
and electromagnetism, as well as in modern extensions including atomic
and nuclear physics, cryogenics, solid-state physics, particle physics,
and plasma physics. In short, the laws of physics transverse all we know
in out material world.
Metaphysics ('meta' means after) has to do with
the principles examining the nature of reality, including the relationship
between mind and matter, substance and attribute, fact and value.
Modern physics is built on two foundations, that
of
relativity and
quantum
theory. These two theories have not been reconciled.
Einstein
attempted to reconcile his theory by using geometrics. He spent the last
30 years of his life searching for a 'unified
field theory' or 'theory of everything' (the Universe reducing to a
single set of rules) which would unite his general relativity of space/time
and gravitation theory with quantum
mechanics. It has now been found by Dr. John Hagelin.
Because of the continuing
inability to reconcile them, physicists continue searching for the
"Theory of Everything" – http://www.pbs.org/wnet/hawking/mysteries/html/myst.html,
but Stephen Wolfram (brilliant developer of.Mathematica-software)
in his new book.A New Kind of Science-may
have come close.
The way the
Great Infinite One 'keeps throwin' us curves', it probably never will
be found.
Physicists are working on a programming tool that
allows games designers to
add the laws of physics to their virtual worlds.

Pit Bull Terrier.noun
during the early 1800s, dog breeders sought to
create an extremely nimble, strong dog for sport, principally for dogfighting;
a cross between the bulldog (the stupidest of all dogs) and an early terrier
created the ideal fighting dog, the bull terrier; first ones about 1835,
had colored markings on their fur like the variety shown here; today, the
more popular variety of bull terrier appears all white
