Spacephysics , also known as space plasma physics , is the study of Plasma physics plasmas as they occur naturally in the universe . As such, it encompasses a far ranging number of topics, including the sun , solar wind , planetary magnetospheres and ionosphere s, Aurora astronomy auroras , cosmic rays , and synchrotron radiation . Spacephysics is a fundamental part of the study of space weather and has important implications not only to understanding the universe, but also to practical every day life, including the operation of Communications satellite communications and weather satellite s. Spacephysics is unique from other fields of astrophysics which study similar phenomenon, in that spacephysics utilizes in situ measurements from high altitude rockets and spacecraft. ref cite web url http www.oulu.fi spaceweb textbook title SpacePhysics Textbook date 2006 11 26 accessdate 2008 12 31 Dead link date November 2010 bot H3llBot ref History Spacephysics can be traced back to the ancient Chinese, who discovered and recorded sun spots .

Context date October 2009 In physics , a state space is a complex number complex Hilbert space within which the possible instantaneous states of the system may be described by a unit vector . These quantum state state vectors , using Paul Dirac Dirac s bra ket notation , can often be treated as coordinate vector vector s and operated on using the rules of linear algebra . This Mathematical formulation of quantum mechanics formalism of quantum mechanics is extremely powerful, in that it can replace calculation of complicated integrals with a few basic linear algebra vector operations .

The Laboratory for Atmospheric and SpacePhysics LASP is a research organization at the University of Colorado at Boulder . LASP is a research institute with over 100 research scientists ranging in fields from solar influences, to Earth s and other planetary atmospherics processes, space weather, space plasma and dusty plasma physics. LASP has advanced technical capabilities specializing in designing, building, and operating spacecraft and spacecraft instruments. Founded after World War II, the first scientific instruments built at LASP were launched into space using captured German V 2 rockets. To this day LASP continues a suborbital rocket program through periodic calibration instrument flights from White Sands Missile Range. It was originally called the Upper Air Laboratory , but changed to its current name in 1965. LASP has historical ties to Ball Aerospace Corporation and the Center for Astrophysics and Space Astronomy CASA . LASP has two facilities offices on the main CU Boulder campus, and the Space Technology Building in the University s research park. LASP s new facilities allow it to handle almost every aspect of space mission s, itself. Hardware facilities allow for the construction of single instruments or entire spacecraft . A mission operations center allows for the control of spacecraft data collection, and a large research staff analyzes the data. Being part of the University, LASP has heavy student involvement in every aspect of its operations, including science, hardware design construction and mission operation s.

For the physics journal, see Solar Physics journal Solar physics is the study of our Sun . It is a branch of astrophysics that specializes in exploiting and explaining the detailed measurements that are possible only for our closest star. It intersects with many disciplines of pure physics , astrophysics , and computer science , including fluid dynamics , plasma physics including magnetohydrodynamics , seismology , particle physics , atomic physics , nuclear physics , stellar evolution , spacephysics , spectroscopy , radiative transfer , optics applied optics , signal processing , computer vision , and computational physics . Because the Sun is uniquely situated for close range observing other stars cannot be resolved with anything like the spatial or temporal resolution that the Sun can , there is a split between the related discipline of observational astrophysics of distant stars and observational solar physics. The Solar Physics Division of the American Astronomical Society boasts about 600 members in 2008 , compared to several thousand in the parent organization. A major thrust of current 2009 effort in the field of solar physics is integrated understanding of the entire solar system including the Sun and its effects throughout interplanetary space within the heliosphere and on planet s and planetary atmosphere s.

In physics , a pregeometry is a structure from which geometry develops. The term was championed by John Archibald Wheeler in the 1960s and 1970s as a possible route to a theory of quantum gravity . Since quantum mechanics allowed a metric to fluctuate, it was argued that the merging of gravity with quantum mechanics required a set of more fundamental rules regarding connectivity that were independent of topology and dimensionality , and which could work independently of any assumptions we might make about the properties of a surface. Where geometry could describe the properties of a known surface, and the physics of a hypothetical region with pre defined properties, pregeometry might allow us to work with deeper underlying rules of physics that were not so strongly dependent on simplified classical assumptions about the properties of space.
