Modern physics draws a distinction between "force" and "energy," but our general observations so far have not needed a reference to it.
Modern physics, for the most part, still firmly adheres to the older theory of vibration, to the idea of an actio in distans and the eternal vibration of dead atoms in empty space; it rejects the pyknotic theory.
Whatever may be the fate reserved for such attempts, they deserve attention in the highest degree; and it is desirable to examine them carefully if we wish to have an exact idea of the tendencies of modern physics.
A proof of this is to be found, for example, in the principle of Indeterminacy which has arisen in modern physics.
In the language of modern physics, Force is "that which originates or tends to originate motion or change," and "is wholly expended in the action it produces.
Sir William Thomson, the Newton of modern physics, says emphatically, "I have no faith whatever in attractions and repulsions acting at a distance between centres of force according to various laws.
Some of us well remember how, when Stallo's 'Principles and Theories of Modern Physics' first appeared, this sense of scientific orthodoxy was shocked amongst many of our American readers and teachers of science.
We might go much further, and one of the most astonishing theories of modern physicsfurnishes us the occasion.
On the history of this word, see Stallo, Concepts of Modern Physics, p.
The above list will hopefully provide you with a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "modern physics" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this group of words.
