How do physics work?

How does that shit even work

God wakes up with a hangover, puts magnets on His forehead

Physics!

Piece rate. Double time on Sundays and holidays.

People use their brains and math to construct theories that explain and predict the results of experiments. Experimental data that departs from the theoretical predictions drives the development of better theories. The principle of stationary action is almost always invoked in some way.

It's simple. For every action, there is a reaction.

I think the current theory of how the fundamental forces work is that particles exchange gauge bosons.

Well first I flick my bean, and then pee comes out. That's how physics works.

The way physics works seems rather limiting.

Looks like there's no FTL or backwards time travel, perpetual motion machines don't work, and there's that "entropy" thing...

 

[Herr Flick]

Physics as a general entity is, unfortunately, disinclined to share its trade secrets with us. That is why we spend so much time trying to figure them out on our own.

 

[SandyCat]

It's simple. For every action, there is a reaction.

So does that mean lolcows are representations of physics?

They do something retarded then we react to it and the process repeats itself

 

[ToroidalBoat]

Also I guess all of physics could be summarized as motion in time.
