The Mistaken Dichotomy of Physics

The Generalizable Dichotomy in Physics

• It could be better translated as the “mistaken dichotomy” (past tense).

• Physics is a discipline that strives to generalize various phenomena, so the number of Generalizable Dichotomies is gradually decreasing.

  • It’s mostly correct (takker).
  • The ultimate goal of this endeavor is the Unified Theory.

• Examples of Generalizable Dichotomies in physics include:

  • Mass and Energy (explained by the Theory of Relativity, $E=m{c}^2$).
  • Matter and Waves (explained by the concept of Matter Waves).
  • Momentum and Wavelength ($\lambda =\frac{h}{p}$).
