Physics

I suppose we are all at least vaguely familiar with fundamental religions. You know, Christianity, Buddism, Islam, Hinduism. etc. Has anyone found any 'religion' in Physics?

One could say it's part of the religion of secular humanism, which is the religion of no religion.

I did once via "The dancing woa lee masters" but that was a long time ago and I can't remember where I put it And in the end pheadris........Science asks questions that left unanswered just sit around and generate more questions. A lot like Rats.
I gave up and went back to Sea. Its all the religion I need. And the only church I attend.

Sorry Mom
Goin to the Boat... Bye

P.S. if you rock your screen back and forth on your lap top you can watch that sunset in action. thanks science.

And that makes for a very messy bathroom I can tell you. Need full wet weather gear every time you flush.

Assuming you understand the definition of superstition, I feel that it can probably be stated that you don't understand any of the religions you list afterwards. As far as physics and religion go; physics is what God employs in a Force 10 gale. Some feel that God gave man a mind with which to contemplate physics and that was the end of it. I find the aforementioned gale to be persuasive that there is more to God than mere physics and, perhaps, when in a playfull mood, he uses physics to engender spirituality. Works for me.
