Physics was an instrumental band from San Diego, California, established by John D. Goff and Denver Lucas in late 1993 after the breakup of Johnny Superbad & the Bulletcatchers. History Featuring a rotating cast of musicians from the San Diego experimental underground but mainly composed of Denver Lucas on drums, Jeff Coad on synthesizers, John Goff, Will Goff, Jason Soares, Rob Crow, Travis Nelson, Ryan Jencks on guitar and Matt Lorenz on visuals/projections. This early incarnation came to be known as the "Black Period". Mainly inspired by theories in quantum theory and Eastern Mysticism, Physics was musically influenced by Krautrock, minimalism, early Doom/Drone, and Electronic Kosmische, though were often associated with the Math Rock genre. After the untimely death of Denver Lucas in the mid-1990s, the Physics personnel underwent numerous changes until resulting in Cameron Jones on drums which was later known as the "Gray Period" then ultimately the "White Period". After Physics dissolved in 2000, Jason Soares and Jeff Coad went on to form the more electronic-based Aspects Of Physics also with Matt Lorenz. Will and John Goff went on to form the electronic band SSI. Rob Crow started Pinback (co-led by Zach Smith from Three Mile Pilot). In 2015, coinciding with the release of the documentary It's Gonna Blow!!! San Diego's Music Underground 1986–1996, Physics reformed for reunion shows in Portland, Oregon and Los Angeles

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
