Example sentences

We say that there are four fundamental forces in the universe: weak nuclear, strong nuclear, electromagnetism and gravity.

This is a historical question; electromagnetism explains stuff that could be considered paranormal as well, but that stuff wasn't.

Just about every concept (mathematical and physics) in the arXiv paper linked from the article is covered by the end of a typical undergraduate course in electromagnetism and quantum mechanics.

They don't interact at all with electromagnetism so they'll give off no photons or radiation to be detected from that at least.

Is it because they are unaffected by electromagnetism that they seldom interact with each other despite being gravitationally attracted to each other?

Maxwell had 20 equations for electromagnetism, because he didn't use vector notation, so he had to do the equations component by component.

He also managed to recognize a relationship between electromagnetism and gravity before Einstein.

You learn a ton about electromagnetism before you ever get to Maxwell's equations.

Computations of low-energy strong-force interactions are significantly more difficult than electromagnetism.

You should be able to understand everything in that sentence if you have taken a typical undergraduate curriculum in physics including quantum mechanics and electromagnetism.

And we do have at this point extremely good models of electromagnetism which can correctly predict results of all experiments done so far.

If you thought of physics as meaning electromagnetism and thermodynamics, you might think that there were few advances in physics in the first half of the 20th century.

Quote examples

For many years the laser was considered to be a "solution looking for a problem", yet today they are absolutely ubiquitous in numerous applications and have contributed to the well-being of human-kind in innumerable ways (surgery, communication, safety, etc.) When Maxwell studied the theory of electromagnetism it was absolutely blue sky research with questionable practicality.

Standing sound waves of photons and baryons (ordinary matter) formed around these concentrations You make it sound like "dark matter" is normal matter and the "ordinary matter" is the abnormal stuff, since ordinary matter formed afterwards and has more complex interactions in that it supplements gravitation with electromagnetism and what not.

Proper noun examples

The Strong and Weak fields are Klingon Poetry next to the scripture that describes Gravity and Electromagnetism.

It's also relevant to the part of the book I'm reading now, which I highly recommend to anyone interested in QED, Electromagnetism, or even just Computer Science.

Yeah, looking at the PRL, it sounds like they're advertising a new theoretical framework for _designing_ antennas, not, like, some new, henceforth-undiscovered law of Electromagnetism.
