An experimental physicist also has hypotheses and theories, but they devise actual experiments to show these hypotheses are true (or not).

General Relativity is one example where it is shown true by both mathematics and by experiments. The latest experiment to show General Relativity is true is the satellite "Gravity Probe B", which orbited the earth (still is) for a couple of years gathering data on what's called "frame dragging" -- which is a prediction from General Relativity math that had not been shown by experiment (until now).

What is pure physics?

Pure physics is the branch of physics that focuses on understanding the fundamental principles governing the behavior of matter and energy in the universe, without immediate practical application. It explores concepts such as quantum mechanics, relativity, and the nature of forces and particles. This research often leads to advancements in technology and other sciences.


What is meant by the word condenses?

In the context of science or physics, condenses refers to the process of a substance changing from a gaseous state to a liquid state by releasing heat. This typically occurs when the temperature of the gas cools down to its dew point.


The famous scientist was awarded the novel prize physics for his work theoretical?

I believe you meant "Nobel Prize" in Physics. Albert Einstein won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921 for his explanation of the photoelectric effect.


What is meant by the normal to a surface in physics?

In physics, the normal to a surface is a line perpendicular to the surface at a specific point. It is used to determine the direction of forces or vectors acting on the surface, and it is essential for calculations involving reflection, refraction, and surface interactions.


What is meant by seventh dimension in physics?

The 7th dimension in physics is the 6th dimension (infinite possibilities) x the start of the event. In other words, infinite possibilities all start at the exact same time. But I don't think this is right. I still haven't figured it out yet.

What is meant by the statement science can provide information that people use to make decisions?

Science helps people get a deeper understanding of a product or service. This knowledge then helps people decide whether it is a good idea to buy a product or not.


In science is chemistry or physics the more mature discipline?

If by "mature" is meant completely grown or a science having reached its apex, then neither chemistry nor physics have stopped growing. They both are important sciences. Chemistry is the only science which can actually *change* one molecule into another. Physics, these days, deals mostly with sub-atomic particles. We need both chemistry and physics. Chemistry has contributed the most to civilization, but physics has made some significant advances also.
