Principles of Physics

Explanations that account for and constrain the Laws of Physics.

Principles are deeper and more general than laws. They include conservation principles and testability principles. While laws describe specific constraints on physical systems, principles explain why those constraints exist.

Connections

• •Deeper than Laws of Physics — they constrain the laws themselves
• •Are explanations and conjectures — open to improvement
• •Describe the Physical World at the most fundamental level
• •Related to Prevailing Conception — which ignores principles
• •Include testability principles — connecting physics to Epistemology
• •Universal Constructor theory may derive from fundamental principles
