What is the difference between chemistry and physics?


Recommended Posts

subset or not or the otherway around.

If we have to discuss(not prove) about it then what is the point in agreeing about it.

 

It's all about understanding the same universe so it is obvious all related to each other.

then you say to me you learn all Chemistry in your Physics lessons, then I may consider it to be a subset of it, untill then, I shall continue with my current stance, it`s an overlap only :)

I can`t comment on the latter, I don`t even know what it means.

the first part of your sentence I can comment on.

 

"All the chemistry I learnt at uni was physics"

 

that`s fine, and I would have expected as much, as that is where the "Overlap" I spoke of comes in, SURE you will need too know a little chem :)

 

but you didn`t learn ALL Chemistry :)

otherwise you`de have been doin Chem and not Physics Q.E.D :)

actualy, that in itself isn`t a bad anaolgy, it was "Just a module"

and that`s how it is with ALL feilds of the SET called Science :)

it`s all modular, and many shares an overlap, don`t get me wrong I CAN see where you`re coming from 100%, but when expressed in term of chem or physics or biology etc... it has to remain as such modules, in order to give a definitive answer to post #1 :)

you don't have to learn all of chemistry in physics for chemistry to be a subset. For example. I started doing physics, where I learned a bit of optics. now I have specialised in optics, but optics is still physics, just a subset of it - you cannot say that physics is a subset of optics, since physics includes mechanics too, for example. The same is true for chemistry.

Did you see that my post was a link?

by the way, I think Gordon Ross is lovely.

 

yeah, but it is not low quality enough to be 1337. you actually used shapes and proper text.

 

nice to see you appreciate Gordon at last.

regards the link, no it didn`t show till after you mentioned it, I`m only running win 98 on a P2 350mhz, it`s not all that great at showing all the stuff it should or rather COULD with a better OS, that parts my fault, lack of cash precludes a better puter sadly :(

its a hierarchy

 

physics-> chemistry->molecular chemistry->cellular biology

->animal/plant biology->psychology->society->ecology

->intelligence

 

physics studies at very very small scales

chemistry studies at small scales

 

in the past both grew into their own but to make

concrete theories first you need physics to explain

models of chemistry but you also need observations from

chemistry to explore new found things in chemistry

since last thursday. Didn't you get the memo?

 

My monitor shows a resistance to yellow sticky labels.

AW

Yeah, I'll have to reply to that later.

 

Tbh a lot of stuff like SPS might need to be reworked anyway for AW:FE. I still want to keep away from any kind of currency or resource movement though.

 

ANyway, this is all a bit :offtopic:
