A Quick Inventory of Modern Science. Part 2 - The Physics

Continuing my inventory of modern scientific beliefs and boundaries from Part I, here's Part II.

On Physics:

- The sum of Matter and Energy in the universe is a constant (principle of conservation of mass and energy). Matter can be converted to energy and vice versa but the sum of their equivalents is always constant. This essentially gives All Matter and Energy freedom from causality i.e. modern science does not entertain the question "Who created matter or energy?". It is causeless and this causelessness is an established corollary of the conservation principle.

- The 'laws of motion' attributed to Newton are fundamental established fact in an inertial frame of reference. The second law (F = m*a) does not hold at relativistic velocities (approaching light) when the mass of the object may change. The laws of motion explain 'classical' mechanics.

- The 'law of universal gravitation' also attributed to Sir Isaac is established.

- The laws of Quantum Physics which are essentially the laws of quantum mechanics are established at a microscopic (subatomic) level. The only fly in the ointment is that they do not explain gravity.

- The laws of classical and quantum mechanics assumed a non-dynamic time. This assumption makes sense if the velocities of the objects are small relative to light. When things go really fast, time itself slows down (time is dynamic) and the laws of classical and quantum mechanics
lose their foundation.

- The laws of classical and quantum mechanics also don't apply when gravity is so intense that space-time is too warped to have curvature . This is true at the center of many galaxies including our own where black holes have been found.
