How physics related to psychology?

Answer 1

I plan on earning my PhD in psychology so that I can have a career as a counselor and professor. I believe physics to be the most important of all sciences because it is the study of matter and energy and ultimately everything is matter or energy, including thoughts and feeling in the brain. Consider that all thought is simply the action of chemically produced electrical currents travelling along neurons triggering the release of neurotransmitters which in turn start the action all over again. This is as a result of a reaction of potassium and sodium ions and the various receptors and neurotransmitters in the brain and nervous system. All of these events can be explained and understood with physics. At some point thought takes place on a quantum level and I think this is the final frontier in the study of consciousness. Check out Heisenberg's Principle of Uncertainty and think about the consequences of this idea with regard to thought. It's a pretty exciting prospect.
