PhysicalScience is an encompassing term for the branches of natural science and science that study non living systems, in contrast to the life sciences . However, the term physical creates an unintended, somewhat arbitrary distinction, since many branches of physicalscience also study biological phenomena .

Unreferenced date December 2009 Physical change is a concept introduced to contrast with the concept of chemical change . A physical change is any change not involving a change in the substance s chemical identity. Matter undergoes chemical change when the composition of the substances changes one or more substances combine or break up as in a relationship to form new substances. Physical changes occur when objects undergo a change that does not change their chemical nature. A physical change involves a change in physical properties. Physical properties can be observed without changing the composition of matter. Examples of physical properties include texture, shape, size, color, volume, mass, weight, and density. An example of a physical change occurs when making a baseball bat. Wood is carefully crafted into a shape which will allow a batter to best apply force on the ball. Even though the wood has changed shape and therefore physical properties, the chemical nature of the wood has not been altered. The bat and the original piece of wood are still the same chemical substance. Changes are sometimes hard to categorize strictly as physical or as chemical. Dissolving a salt in water involves the breaking of chemical bonds, yet is often described as a physical change. Some teachers hold that a chemical change is a rearrangement of atoms, but many physical changes also involve the rearrangement of atoms. Many chemical changes are irreversible, and many physical changes are reversible, but reversibility is not a certain criterion for classification. Although chemical changes are often recognized by an indication such as odor, color change, production of a precipitate, or production of a gas, every one of these indicators can result from physical change.

Unreferenced date May 2009 Image Virtual address space and physical address space relationship.svg thumb 300px In computing , a physical address , also real address , or binary address , is the memory address that is represented in the form of a binary numeral system binary number on the address bus computer address bus circuitry in order to enable the data bus to access a particular storage cell of main memory . In a computer with virtual memory , the term physical address is used mostly to differentiate from a virtual address . In particular, in computers utilizing memory management unit MMU to translate memory addresses, the virtual and physical addresses refer to an address before and after MMU translation respectively. In computer networking , physical address is sometimes a synonym of MAC address . The address is actually used on the network s data link layer , not on the physical layer , as the name would suggest. Unaligned addressing Depending upon its underlying computer architecture , the performance of a computer may be hindered by unaligned access to memory. As an example, a 16 bit computer with a 16 bit memory data bus such as an Intel 8086 generally works most algorithmic efficiency efficiently if the access is aligned to an even address. In that case fetching one 16 bit value requires a single memory read operation, a single transfer over a data bus. Obviously, if the 16 bit data value starts at an odd address, the processor may actually need to perform two memory read cycles to load the value into it, i.e. one for the low address throwing half of it away and then a second to load the high address again throwing half of the retrieved data away . In fact, on some Computer architecture architectures such as the Motorola 68000 family , unaligned memory accesses will result in an exception being raised usually resulting in a software exception being raised like See also Address constant Addressing mode Address space Page address register Pointer computer science ... more details

Physical information and entropy An easy way to understand the underlying unity between physical as in thermodynamic entropy and information theoretic entropy is as follows Entropy is simply that portion of the classical physical information contained in a system of interest whether it is an entire physical system, or just a subsystem delineated ... information theory , ref W.
