What, When, Where, How and Who?
Universe
Introduction, Important Definitions and Related Concepts:
The Universe is everything that physically exists: the entirety of
space and
time, all forms of
matter,
energy and
momentum,
and the
physical laws and
physical constants that govern them. Space is the expanse in which the solar
system, stars, and galaxies exist; the universe. Time is part of the fundamental
structure of the
universe, a
dimension
in which events occur in
sequence.
Matter is everything around you. In
physics and
other sciences,
energy (from the
Greek ενε�?γ�?�?, energos, "active, working")a title="" href="#_note-0">[1]
is a
scalar
physical quantity that is a property of objects and systems which is
conserved by nature. The effect of motion is called momentum. A
physical law, scientific law, or a law of nature is a
scientific
generalization based on
empirical
observations of physical behavior. Vacuum causes a characteristic Impedance
.
It's value is:
376.730 313 461...

In common usage, a dimension (Latin,
"measured out") is a
parameter
or
measurement used to describe some relevant characteristic of an object.
In
mathematics, a sequence is an ordered list of objects (or events).
Physics is the
science
studying the concept of
mattera title="" href="#_note-0">[1]/sup>
and its
motion,/sup>/sup>
as well as space
and timea title="" href="#_note-3">[4]sup>a title="" href="#_note-4">[5]up>
�?? the science
that deals with concepts such as
force,
energy,
mass, and
charge.
The
word
science comes from the Latin "scientia," meaning knowledge.
Greek (ελληνική γλ�?�?�?α
IPA:
[elini�?kʲi �?ɣlosa] or
simply ελληνικά
IPA:
[elini�?ka] �?? "Hellenic")
has a documented history of 3,400 years, the longest of any single
natural language in the
Indo-European
language family.
A scalar is a variable that only has
magnitude,
e.g. a speed of
40 km/h.
Quantity is a kind of property which exists as magnitude
or multitude.
Scientific method is a body of techniques for
investigating
phenomena,
acquiring new
knowledge, or correcting and integrating previous knowledge.
A central concept in
science and
the
scientific method is that all evidence must be empirical, or
empirically based, that is, dependent on evidence or consequences that are
observable by the senses.
Observation is an activity of a
sapient or
sentient
living being (e.g.
humans), which senses and assimilates the
knowledge
of a
phenomenon in its framework of previous knowledge and ideas.
Latin (lingua Latīna,
pronounced
[la�?ti�?na]) is an ancient
Indo-European language that was spoken in the
Roman Republic and the
Roman
Empire and had de facto status as the international language of science and
scholarship in mid and western Europe until the 17th century.
In
mathematics,
statistics,
and the mathematical
sciences,
parameters (L:
auxiliary measure) are quantities that define certain characteristics of
systems or
functions.
Measure is the dimensions, quantity, or capacity as ascertained
by comparison with a standard.
Mathematics (colloquially, maths or math)
is the body of knowledge centered on such concepts as
quantity,
structure,
space, and
change, and
also the academic discipline that studies them.
Motion is
the act or process of changing position or place.
In
physics,
force is what causes a
mass to
accelerate.
Mass is a fundamental concept in
physics,
roughly corresponding to the intuitive idea of "how much matter there is in an
object".
Electric charge is a fundamental conserved property of
some
subatomic particles, which determines their
electromagnetic interaction.
The International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)
is a system of
phonetic notation based on the
Latin alphabet, devised by the
International Phonetic Association as a standardized representation of the
sounds of spoken language.
Natural is present in or produced by nature: a natural pearl.
A language is a system of visual, auditory, or tactile
symbols of
communication and the rules used to manipulate them.
Indo-European is a family of languages consisting of most of the
languages of Europe as well as those of Iran, the Indian subcontinent, and other
parts of Asia.
Family is a
Lineage, especially distinguished lineage.
Magnitude (mathematics), a measure of the size of a mathematical object.
In Physics Speed is:
The rate or a measure of the rate of motion, especially:
-
a. Distance traveled divided by the
time of travel. b. The limit of this
quotient as the time of travel becomes
vanishingly small; the first derivative of
distance with respect to time. c. The
magnitude of a velocity.
Phenomenon is an occurrence, circumstance, or
fact that is perceptible by the senses.
Pronounce means to enunciate or articulate
(sounds, words, sentences, etc.). Knowledge
is defined (Oxford
English Dictionary) variously as (i)

given to both the
imperial domain developed by the city-state
of
Rome and also the corresponding phase of
that civilization, characterized by an
autocratic form of government. A republic
is a
state or
country that is not led by a hereditary
monarch,
where the people of that state or country (or at

and that is usually indicated as a republic. An
empire (from the
Latin "imperium",
denoting military
command within the
ancient Roman government) is a
state that extends dominion over populations
distinct

mathematical science pertaining to the
collection, analysis, interpretation or
explanation, and presentation of
data. The
mathematical concept of a function
expresses dependence between two quantities, one
of which is given (the
independent variable, argument of the
function, or its "input") and the other produced
(the dependent variable, value of the function,
or "output"). Structure is something
made up of a number of parts that are held or
put together in a particular way:
hierarchical social structure. Change is the
cause to be different:
change the spelling
of a word. In
physics, acceleration is defined as
the
rate of change of
velocity, or, equivalently, as the second
derivative of position (with respect to
time). A subatomic particle is an
elementary or
composite
particle smaller than an
atom. Interaction means to act on each
other: "More than a
dozen variable factors could interact, with
their permutations running into the thousands"
