Physics as the language of living systems
How mechanics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism and measurement form a foundation for studying biology.
Biology is our focus, but physics provides many of the principles by which biological processes can be investigated. Fluid dynamics helps describe circulation; diffusion and thermodynamics constrain transport and exchange; electrical phenomena contribute to signaling across excitable tissues.
Models connect equations to observations. Yet a model depends on assumptions, and a measurement depends on instruments and conditions. Physical accuracy does not by itself guarantee a valid biological interpretation.
Complex computation can help examine relationships at different scales, from microscopic structures to organ systems. Reproducibility, calibration and independent review remain necessary before making meaningful scientific claims.
