Physics
Physics covers a wide range of phenomena, from elementary particles (such as quarks, neutrinos, and electrons) to the largest superclusters of galaxies.
物理学是研究物质、能量的本质与性质的自然科学。由于物质与能量是所有科学研究的必须涉及的基本要素，所以物理学是自然科学中最基础的学科之一。物理学是一种实验科学，物理学者从观测与分析大自然的各种基于物质与能量的现象来找出其中的模式。

The History of Waterpower(水力发电的历史)
Ever since the development of waterwheel, which occurred no later than 500 B.C., people have used moving water as a source of power.
The first water-powered machines were probably used to grind corn, and as technology advanced, waterwheels were used as the main source of power in many industries.
In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, design improvements in waterwheels led to discoveries of how to increase their efficiency and power output.
After declining in importance in the early 1800’s, waterpower came back into demand by the end of the century as a means to power electric plants and water turbines
Turbines(涡轮机) using Benoit Fourneyron’s design were eventually used to generate electric power.
The flow of the River Wey, on which the power station depended, was unreliable.
“Waterotor” harvests green energy in slow moving waters.
However, like many later experts, this one would have suffered from an inability to see into the future.
