   In philosophy and specifically metaphysics, the theory of Forms, theory of Ideas, [1] [2] [3] Platonic idealism, or Platonic realism is a theory widely credited to the Classical Greek philosopher Plato. The theory suggests that the physical world is not as real or true as "Forms". According to this theory, Forms—conventionally capitalized and ...

3. Physical change - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_change

   A physical change involves a change in physical properties. Examples of physical properties include melting, transition to a gas, change of strength, change of durability, changes to crystal form, textural change, shape, size, color, volume and density . An example of a physical change is the process of tempering steel to form a knife blade.

4. Form factor (design) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Form_factor_(design)

   Form factor is a hardware design aspect that defines and prescribes the size, shape, and other physical specifications of components, particularly in electronics. [1] [2] A form factor may represent a broad class of similarly sized components, or it may prescribe a specific standard.

5. Physics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics

   Pure physics is a branch of fundamental science (also called basic science). Physics is also called " the fundamental science" because all branches of natural science like chemistry, astronomy, geology, and biology are constrained by laws of physics. [60] Similarly, chemistry is often called the central science because of its role in linking ...

6. Physical object - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_object

   Physical object. A bubble of exhaled gas in water. In common usage and classical mechanics, a physical object or physical body (or simply an object or body) is a collection of matter within a defined contiguous boundary in three-dimensional space. [citation needed] The boundary surface must be defined and identified by the properties of the ...

7. Field (physics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_(physics)

   Field (physics) Illustration of the electric field surrounding a positive (red) and a negative (blue) charge. In physics, a field is a physical quantity, represented by a scalar, vector, or tensor, that has a value for each point in space and time. [1] [2] [3] A weather map, with the surface temperature described by assigning a number to each ...
