Unified
Field theory
- WP: Multipole_expansion - a mathematical series representing a function that depends on angles — usually the two angles on a sphere
- WP: Quadrupole
Cosmology
See also Space
- WP: Cosmological_principle - an axiom that embodies the working assumption or premise that the distribution of matter in the universe is homogeneous and isotropic when viewed on a large enough scale, since the forces are expected to act uniformly throughout the universe
- WP: Cosmic_neutrino_background - a relic of the big bang, decoupled from matter when the universe was 2 seconds old
- WP: Neutrino_decoupling - the epoch at which neutrinos ceased interacting with baryonic matter
- WP: Cosmic_microwave_background - decoupled from matter when the universe was 379,000 years old
- WP: Interstellar_medium - the matter that exists in the space between the star systems in a galaxy, includes gas in ionic, atomic, and molecular form, dust, and cosmic rays
- WP: Interstellar_cloud - the generic name given to an accumulation of gas, plasma and dust in our and other galaxies. Put differently, an interstellar cloud is a denser-than-average region of the interstellar medium
- WP: Molecular_cloud - type of interstellar cloud whose density and size permits the formation of molecules, most commonly molecular hydrogen
- WP: Bulge_(astronomy) - tightly packed group of stars within a larger formation, almost exclusively refers to the central group of stars found in most spiral galaxies
- WP: Galactic_Center
- WP: Globular_cluster
- WP: Galaxy_cluster
- WP: Intracluster_medium - superheated plasma present at the center of a galaxy cluster
Particles
Boson
- WP: Vector_boson - a boson with the spin quantum number equal to 1
- WP: Photons - carry the electromagnetic interaction
- WP: W_and_Z_bosons - carry the weak interaction
- WP: Gluon - strong interaction
Atomic
- WP: Atomic_physics - deals with the atom as a system consisting of a nucleus and electrons
- WP: Atom - a basic unit of matter that consists of a dense central nucleus surrounded by a cloud of negatively charged electrons.
- WP: Atomic_nucleus - contains a mix of positively charged protons and electrically neutral neutrons (except in the case of hydrogen-1, which is the only stable nuclide with no neutrons)
- WP: Nucleon
- WP: Atomic_number - the number of protons found in the nucleus of an atom and therefore identical to the charge number of the nucleus

- http://www.periodicvideos.com/
- http://table.minutephysics.com/
- WP: Nuclear_physics - considers atomic nuclei alone
- WP: Ion - an atom or molecule in which the total number of electrons is not equal to the total number of protons, giving the atom a net positive or negative electrical charge
Matter
- WP: Ion - an atom or molecule in which the total number of electrons is not equal to the total number of protons, giving the atom a net positive or negative electrical charge
