what does comprehensive mean in the domain of Physics?
Published 2020-05-22T15:38:00.001Z by Physics Derivation Graph
To ensure coverage of Physics we need to enumerate what coverage would mean. Three paradigms are
topics-based scope; see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_physics#Branches_of_physics
classical mechanics
thermodynamics
quantum mechanics
electrodynamics
electrical circuits
astrophysics
particle physics
formula-based (or concept-based) scope; see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_physics_equations
F = m a
E = m c^2
Maxwell's equations
Schrodinger's equation
Wave equation
conservation of momentum
conservation of energy
uncertainty principle
equations of motion
symbol-based scope; see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_common_physics_notations
energy
wave function
mass
acceleration
position
momentum
If the Physics Derivation Graph can demonstrate utility in each category, that provides evidence towards the claim that the Graph can be comprehensive.
That is distinct from a second, separate question of determining connectivity.
