Philosophy of physics
Philosophy of physics is the study of the
fundamental,
philosophical questions underlying modern
physics. Perhaps the main questions concern the nature of
space and
time,
atoms
and
atomism,
cosmology, the interpretation of the results of
quantum mechanics, the foundations of
statistical mechanics,
determinism, and the nature of
physical laws. Classically, several of the questions of this area were
studied as part of
metaphysics (for example, those about determinism and space and time).
Today, philosophy of physics is very close to
philosophy of science.
