Physics

The study of how the world works at a fundamental level.


Theory of space and time, either not or in the influence of gravity.
Non-quantum/relativistic study of motion and its causes in objects.
Electromagnetism, the Weak interaction and the Strong interaction & gravity
Study of fundamental particles and interactions that make up matter & radiation -- up to nucleons.
On the interactions and composition of atomic nuclei.
Study of interactions with heat, transference, and other phenomena.
Certain behaviors & phenomena of nature which appear noticeably at atomic and subatomic scales.
Fringe theories. Paraphysics (e.g. psionics): literary overview, advice, possible justifications.
Engineering

Applications of physics -- technologizing physics for our own goals & designs.

Speculative applications of relativity: click here for wormholes, warp drives and the like.
On the art of motion produced by the expulsion of reaction mass.
Developing technologies at the nanometer scale (1 nm - 999 nm).
Robotics and mechatronic engineering is covered here.
Applications of nuclear physics - power reactors, medicinal, weapons - and more.
Fans of radiators navigate here!
Applications of Materials Science. Also, speculative materials e.g. monopoles.
Engineering for the purposes of war.
Shaping the environment for your civilization. Synonyms: Terraforming, Geoengineering

    Summary: The picture on the left is a laser-generated Target Normal Sheath Acceleration proton source. A relativistically intense laser hits a foil and blows out a huge jet of protons (and electrons) at MeV energies.
    The reddish one on the right is a laser-microchannel experiment. A relativistically intense laser is shot at so-called "microchannel array" targets that have ultratiny tubes that experimenters try and get the beam down. Crazy physics then proceeds to happen with high-energy electrons, lots of THz and lots of x-rays made.
