physicist.noun
a scientist who specializes in physics
physics.noun,.plural
physics is about discovering the fundamental unity at the basis of the surface of diversity of the universe, in other words underneath all we see and know of; you dig beneath the molecular, atomic, and nuclear levels using particle accelerators to discover the unity deep at the core of physical reality; physics is the science dealing with the properties, changes, interaction, etc. of matter and energy, subdivided into mechanics, thermodynamics, optics, acoustics, etc., and by which science provides consistent explanations of experience resulting from research regarding the physical universe, its laws, forms, structure, various systems and their processes; on the material level the mathematically corroborative laws of physics and chemistry manage a growing organism's reactions to its genetic instructions; these are far more important than meagre.(by comparison, yet still a gargantuan task) attempts to understand the human genome, a minute part in the overall pattern of life.

The laws of physics have to do with the study of the natural world and its physical properties, interactions, processes (or, laws {how these laws or processes work, so man can become aligned with them and so be able to do things, such as airplane flight, etc.}). The laws of physics include the science of matter and energy and their interactions, which are integrated in traditional fields such as acoustics, optics, mechanics, thermodynamics, and electromagnetism, as well as in modern extensions including atomic and nuclear physics, cryogenics, solid state physics, particle physics and plasma physics. In short, the laws of physics transverse all we know in our material world.

Metaphysics ('meta' means after) has to do with the principles examining the nature of reality, including the relationship between mind and matter, substance and attribute, fact and value.

Modern physics is built on two foundations, that of relativity and quantum theory. These two theories have not been reconciled. Einstein attempted to reconcile his theory by using geometrics. He spent the last 30 years of his life searching for a 'unified field theory' or 'theory of everything' (the Universe reducing to a single set of rules, a unifying principle) which would unite his general relativity of space/time and gravitation theory with quantum mechanics. The calculations were not possible before computers. Now it has been found by Dr. John Hagelin.

Because of the continuing inability to reconcile them, physicists continued searching for the "Theory of Everything"

The way the Great Infinite One 'keeps throwin' us curves', it makes man have to think deep into even beginning to understand the invisible world.

Physicists are working on a programming tool that allows games designers to add the laws of physics to their virtual worlds.
