2Physics — (Greek: physis φύσις), in everyday terms, is the science of matter [R. P. Feynman, R. B. Leighton, M. Sands (1963), The Feynman Lectures on Physics , ISBN 0 201 02116 1 Hard cover. p.1 1 Feynman begins with the atomic hypothesis.] and its motion …
3strong force — Physics. 1. the short range attractive force between baryons that holds together the nucleus of the atom. 2. Also called color force. the force between quarks. Cf. gluon, strong interaction. [1965 70] * * * or strong nuclear force Fundamental… …
4Physics First — is an educational program that teaches a basic physics course in the ninth grade (usually 15 year olds), rather than the biology course which is more standard in public schools. This course relies on the limited math skills that the students have …
5Strong emergence — is a type of emergence in which the emergent property is irreducible to its individual constituents. Some philosophers have proposed that qualia and consciousness demonstrate strong emergence. Strong emergence stands in contrast to weak emergence …

7Strong gravitational lensing — is a gravitational lensing effect that is strong enough to produce multiple images, arcs, or even Einstein rings. Generally, the strong lensing effect requires the projected lens mass density greater than the critical density Sigma {cr},. For… …

9strong interaction — n. Particle Physics the short range interaction between hadrons responsible for the force that binds the nucleus of an atom together: it is the strongest of all known forces: see WEAK INTERACTION, ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERACTION …
10Strong interaction — This article is about the phenomenon in particle physics. For the concept in ecology, see Food chain. For the interaction that binds together the particles in atomic nuclei, see Nuclear force. Standard model of particle physics …
