|
A. General Information
You are invited to participate in the 27th Samahang Pisika ng Pilipinas Physics Congress which will be held at the Development Academy of the Philippines, Tagaytay City, Philippines from October 28 - 30, 2009. This year's theme is "Scouting the Grand Vista from Curiosity-Driven Research to Real World Application". The Congress will include plenary, invited and contributed papers and workshops. The workshops will feature hands-on laboratory experiments, lively demonstrations and small-group discussions of Physics and Physics Education topics.

Stimulating the economy through R&D |
Stimulating the economy through R&D
By Sen. Edgardo Angara Updated
We are currently in the midst of a worldwide recession that threatens many economies, including ours. Already many of our countrymen abroad are getting laid off from their jobs, and locally many of our export-oriented industries like electronics are feeling the pinch. Companies like Texas Instruments have already announced that they are laying off 400 Filipino workers from their plant in Baguio; others are expected to follow suit as markets in the US, Europe and Japan are not purchasing new products. We in Congress are formulating a stimulus package for the Philippines to boost economic activity.

Physics - A unifying framework in the development of science and technology STAR SCIENCE By Felixberto A. Buot, Ph.D. Updated June 04, 2009 12:00 AM
Relevance to society
Physics, in particular quantum physics, is extremely important in our everyday lives. Everybody in the world is now dependent on handheld powerful communication gadgets. Physicists invented and played key roles in the development of navigational aids such as radar, global positioning satellite systems and instrument landing systems to keep us safe when we take commercial airline flights. |

Besides matter and energy, physics is also involved in the study of the foundation of computer and information sciences, and in the link between consciousness and reality. Indeed, instead of the commonly held notion of the divergence of religion and sciences, physics is beginning to converge with some of the religious beliefs and dogma. There is already a rapid convergence of different disciplines within physics, such as in quantum-field theory of elementary particle/force physics, cosmology, and condensed-matter physics. However, the exact unification of quantum physics and general relativity theory (i.e., classical physics in space-time geometry) continued to be a challenging pursuit among theoretical physicists since the time of Einstein. It is worth emphasizing that the study of condensed matter physics yields parallel concepts with cosmology in astrophysics, and the synergy between the two areas of research has been mutually beneficial towards their respective advances.
