Physics
Object 'Physics' belongs to the 'Branches Of Science' theme.Connection to Chemisty:
Whereas physicists seek to understand the fundamental nature of reality itself, chemists focus on one cross section of reality: the molecules which make things up. Of course, molecules are made of atoms, so chemistry can be thought of as a sub-field of physics.
Connection to Cognitive Science:Some leading physicists, such as Roger Penrose, have been working closely with biologists to try to use quantum mechanics to explain and understand the phenomenon of consciousness.
Connection to Astronomy:Astronomy is essentially physics at a very macro scale. Astronomy uses physics constantly. In turn, theoretical physicists have used astronomical knowledge to refine their view of reality. For example, the study of black holes has led to the formulation of string theory.
Connection to Biology:The area of Physics dealing with "soft matter" (materials easily deformable by heat) overlaps with biochemistry.
Physics concepts such as information theory and entropy also shed light on the complex interactions of biological systems.
Evolutionary biology explains how we perceive the world, why our physical intuition can be very accurate or not, depending on the context. Google "Fly-ball problem" for an example.
