Physics is an open access online publication containing commentaries on the best of the peer-reviewed research published in the journals of the American Physical Society. The editor-in-chief of Physics is Matteo Rini. It highlights papers in Physical Review Letters and the Physical Review family of journals. The magazine was established in 2008. Features Physics contains three types of commentaries on research papers: journalistic articles ("Focus"), in depth pieces written by active researchers ("Viewpoints"), and short summaries of a research paper ("Synopsis") written by editorial staff. Readers get free access to the underlying research papers on which the commentaries are based. References External links

Notable quotes

“At present, physicists are enamoured of symmetry and search only for continuous pictures of fundamental physics. Maybe, one day, they will be motivated to look at possible structures of a fundamentally discrete world.”
— John D. Barrow, Theories of Everything: The Quest for Ultimate Explanation (1991) p. 37
“Physics is not just a set of true facts and s and things like that. In many ways it's kind of an attitude. It's a way of thinking about different things.”
— Sean M. Carroll, (quote at 31:28 of 50:18 in video)
“The "paradox" is only a conflict between reality and your feeling of what reality "ought to be."”
— Richard Feynman, The Feynman Lectures on Physics (1964) Volume III, p. 18-9
“It is impossible, and it has always been impossible, to grasp the meaning of what we nowadays call physics independently of its mathematical form.”
— Jacob Klein, Greek Mathematical Thought and the Origin of Algebra (1968)
“It has seemed to me for some years that among physicists there is almost a cult, although certainly not an organized one, which I please to call a cult of obscurity. The creed of the cult is that a member disgraces the profession if he ever writes, lectures or teaches intelligibly to anyone but his immediate colleagues in the profession.”
— Robert N. Varney, "Obscurity cult", Physics Today, vol. 19, no. 7 (1966) p. 12
“... it's one thing in physics to write down the equations, but then you have to solve them — and that is sometimes easier said than done.”
— Edward Witten, interviewed in "How Do Scientific Breakthroughs Happen?", Closer to Truth (YouTube, March 13, 2021) at 12:42 of 15:43
