The Emergence of Physics As a Study and Its Importance in Society - an Analysis © 2015 IJRAR June 2015, Volume 2, Issue 2 www.ijrar.org (E-ISSN 2348-1269, P- ISSN 2349-5138) The Emergence of Physics as a Study and its Importance in Society - An Analysis *Dr.Shivaraj Gadigeppa Gurikar. Asst Professor of Physics. Govt First Grade College, Yelburga. Abstract This paper analyzes the recent growth in our understanding of physics in general and quantum world in particular focusing on its relevance to our society. Physics touches every aspect of our lives. It involves the study of matter, energy and their interactions. As such, it is one area of science that cuts across all other subjects. Other sciences are reliant on the concepts and techniques developed through physics. Other disciplines — such as chemistry, agriculture, environmental and biological sciences — use the laws of physics to better understand the nature of their own studies. Physics focuses on the general nature of the natural world, generally through a mathematical analysis. Physics is one of the most difficult subjects taught in schools. A number of students are even more daunted with its use of mathematics. In a study done in UK from 1985 to 2006, it was found that there was 41 percent decrease in the number of entries to A-level examinations in sciences. This decreasing trend is similar in other countries. Despite this trend, physics remains an integral part of the educational system. It is through physics that new methodologies were developed that helped improve the quality of life, including things such as automobiles and modern construction.Society’s reliance on technology represents the importance of physics in daily life. Many aspects of modern society would not have been possible without the important scientific discoveries made in the past. These discoveries became the foundation on which current technologies were developed. Discoveries such as magnetism, electricity, conductors and others made modern conveniences, such as television, computers, phones and other business and home technologies possible. Modern means of transportation, such as aircraft and telecommunications, have drawn people across the world closer together — all relying on concepts in physics.In 1999 during the World Conference on Science (WCS), the UNESCO-Physics Action Council considered physics an important factor in developing solutions to both energy and environmental problems. Physics seeks to find alternative solutions to the energy crisis experienced by both first world and developing nations. As physics help the fields of engineering, bio-chemistry and computer science, professionals and scientists develop new ways of harnessing preexisting energy sources and utilizing new ones. In the United Nations Millennium Summit held in 2000, it was recognized that physics and the sciences will play a crucial role in attaining sustainable development. Physics helps in maintaining and developing stable economic growth since it offers new technological advances in the fields of engineering, computer science and even biomedical studies. Key words: physics, United Nations Millennium Summit, biomedical, computer science, engineering IJRAR19D1439 International Journal of Research and Analytical Reviews (IJRAR) www.ijrar.org 344 © 2015 IJRAR June 2015, Volume 2, Issue 2 www.ijrar.org (E-ISSN 2348-1269, P- ISSN 2349-5138) Introduction These fields play a crucial role on the economic aspect of countries and finding new and better ways to produce and develop products in these fields can help boost a country’s economy. Similarly, the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) asserted that physics will generate the necessary knowledge that will lead in the development of engines to drive the world’s economies. In Rwanda, the education ministry was mandated to develop the country’s scientific and technical know- how. Medical physics and information technology benefited the country by developing a national nutrition program and an epidemic surveillance system. Physics and engineering helped rural areas gain safe drinking water through gravimetric techniques, irrigation techniques and rainwater harvesting.In recent years, although physics has not experienced the sort of revolutions that took place during the first quarter of the twentieth century, the seeds planted at that time are still bearing fruit and continue to engender new developments. We should keep in mind that nature is unified and has no borders; practical necessity has led humans to establish them, creating disciplines that we call physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics, geology, and so on. However, as our knowledge of nature grows, it becomes increasingly necessary to go beyond these borders and unite disciplines. It is essential to form groups of specialists— not necessarily large ones—from different scientific and technical fields but possessed of sufficient general knowledge to be able to understand each other and collaborate to solve new problems whose very nature requires such collaboration. Physics must be a part of such groups. We find examples of interdisciplinarity in almost all settings, one of which would be the processes underlying atmospheric phenomena. These involve all sorts of sciences: energy exchanges and temperature gradients, radiation received from the Sun, chemical reactions, the composition of the atmosphere, the motion of atmospheric and ocean currents, the biology of animals and plants that explains the behavior and reactions of animal and plant species, industrial processes, social modes and mechanisms of transportation, and so on and so on. Architecture and urban studies offer similar evidence. For climate change, energy limitations, atmospheric pollution, and agglomeration in gigantic cities, it is imperative to deepen cooperation among architecture, urban studies, science, and technology without overlooking the need to draw on other disciplines as well, including psychology and sociology, which are linked to the study of human character. We must construct buildings that minimize energy loss, and attempt to approach energy sufficiency, that is, sustainability, which has become a catchword in recent years. Fortunately, along with materials with new thermal and acoustic properties, we have elements developed by science and technology, such as solar panels, as well as the possibility of recycling organic waste. Objective: This paper intends to study the advances theories in physics in 21st century and quantum mechanics great discoveries that have helped societal systems. Growth and Public Interest in Physics Physics is considered the queen of twentieth-century science, and rightly so, as that century was marked by two revolutions that drastically modified its foundations and ushered in profound socioeconomic changes: the special and general theories of relativity (Albert Einstein, 1905, 1915) and quantum physics, which, unlike relativity, cannot be attributed to a single figure as it emerged from the combined efforts of a large group of scientists. Now, we know that revolutions, whether in science, politics, or customs, IJRAR19D1439 International Journal of Research and Analytical Reviews (IJRAR) www.ijrar.org 345 © 2015 IJRAR June 2015, Volume 2, Issue 2 www.ijrar.org (E-ISSN 2348-1269, P- ISSN 2349-5138) have long-range effects that may not be as radical as those that led to the initial break, but can nonetheless lead to later developments, discoveries, or ways of understanding reality that were previously inconceivable. That is what happened with physics once the new basic theories were completed. In the case of quantum physics, we are referring to quantum mechanics (Werner Heisenberg, 1925; Paul Dirac, 1925; Erwin Schrödinger, 1926). In Einstein’s world, relativistic cosmology rapidly emerged and welcomed as one possible model of the Universe the experimental discovery of the Universe’s expansion (Edwin Hubble, 1929). Still, the most prolific “consequences-applications” emerged in the context of quantum physics. In fact, there were so many that it would be no exaggeration to say that they changed the world. There are too many to enumerate here, but it will suffice to mention just a few: the construction of quantum electrodynamics (c. 1949), the invention of the transistor (1947), which could well be called “the atom of globalization and digital society”, and the development of particle physics (later called “high- energy physics”), astrophysics, nuclear physics, and solid-state or “condensed matter” physics.One of the most celebrated events in physics during the last decade was the confirmation of a theoretical prediction made almost half a century ago: the existence of the Higgs boson. Let us consider the context that led to this prediction. High-energy physics underwent an extraordinary advance with the introduction of particles whose names were proposed by one of the scientists responsible for their introduction: Murray Gell- Mann. The existence of these quarks was theorized in 1964 by Gell-Mann and George Zweig. Until they appeared, protons and neutrons had been considered truly basic and unbreakable atomic structures whose electric charge was an indivisible unit. Quarks did not obey this rule, as they were assigned fractional charges. Subatomic world According to Gell-Mann and Zweig, hadrons—the particles subject to strong interaction—are made up of two or three types of quarks and antiquarks called u (up), d (down) and s (strange), whose electric charges are, respectively, 2/3, 1/3, and 1/3 of an electron’s (in fact, there can be two types of hadrons: baryons—protons,

Both are mediated over a distance and the force is proportional to the inverse square of the distance between the objects. Isaac Newton described the gravitational force in his Principia in 1687, and in 1915 Albert Einstein (Nobel Prize, 1921 for the photoelectric effect) presented his General Theory of Relativity for the gravitational force, which generalized Newton’s theory. Einstein’s theory is perhaps the greatest achievement in the history of science and the most celebrated one. The laws for the electromagnetic force were formulated by James Clark Maxwell in 1873, also a great leap forward in human endeavour. With the advent of quantum mechanics in the first decades of the 20th century it was realized that the electromagnetic field, including light, is quantized and can be seen as a stream of particles, photons. In this picture, the electromagnetic force can be thought of as a bombardment of photons, as when one object is thrown to another to transmit a force.

    Nature Physics advance online publication, 8 October 2013 doi:10.1038/nphys2800 Research Highlight Nobel Prize 2013: Englert and Higgs Alison Wright The Nobel Prize in Physics 2013 has been awarded to François Englert and Peter Higgs "for the theoretical discovery of a mechanism that contributes to our understanding of the origin of mass of subatomic particles, and which recently was confirmed through the discovery of the predicted fundamental particle, by the ATLAS and CMS experiments at CERN's Large Hadron Collider". It is probably the most widely anticipated Nobel award ever made — even as the announcement on 8 October was delayed by an hour, it still seemed certain that the prize would be given for what is generally known as the Higgs mechanism, cemented by the discovery of a Higgs boson at CERN last year. The only uncertainty lay in quite who would claim a slice of the prize. In 1964, François Englert and his colleague Robert Brout published a paper1 in Physical Review Letters in which they outlined a possible mechanism for the generation of particle masses. A few weeks later — in a world without e-mail or preprint servers — Peter Higgs published a similar, independent work2, and also mentioned the existence of a particle associated with the postulated field that would provoke the mass-generating mechanism. (These have since been known as the Higgs boson, the Higgs field and the Higgs mechanism.) And just a few weeks later still, Gerald Guralnik, Carl Hagen and Tom Kibble followed up with their own, independent, version3 of the same mechanism.

  • Emergence and Reductionism: an Awkward Baconian Alliance
    Emergence and Reductionism: an awkward Baconian alliance Piers Coleman1;3 1Center for Materials Theory, Department of Physics and Astronomy, Rutgers University, 136 Frelinghuysen Rd., Piscataway, NJ 08854-8019, USA and 2 Department of Physics, Royal Holloway, University of London, Egham, Surrey TW20 0EX, UK. Abstract This article discusses the relationship between emergence and reductionism from the perspective of a condensed matter physicist. Reductionism and emergence play an intertwined role in the everyday life of the physicist, yet we rarely stop to contemplate their relationship: indeed, the two are often regarded as conflicting world-views of science. I argue that in practice, they compliment one-another, forming an awkward alliance in a fashion envisioned by the philosopher scientist, Francis Bacon. Looking at the historical record in classical and quantum physics, I discuss how emergence fits into a reductionist view of nature. Often, a deep understanding of reductionist physics depends on the understanding of its emergent consequences. Thus the concept of energy was unknown to Newton, Leibniz, Lagrange or Hamilton, because they did not understand heat. Similarly, the understanding of the weak force awaited an understanding of the Meissner effect in superconductivity. Emergence can thus be likened to an encrypted consequence of reductionism. Taking examples from current research, including topological insulators and strange metals, I show that the convection between emergence and reductionism continues to provide a powerful driver for frontier scientific research, linking the lab with the cosmos.
