Index of physics articles: A–G

This page aims to list all Wikipedia articles that are related to Physics. This is so that those interested in the subject can monitor changes to the pages by clicking on Related Changes in the sidebar.

Everything remotely connected to physics, including articles about physicists, should be listed here. For a much nicer list of physicists, see list of physicists.

The list is not necessarily complete or up to date – if you see an article that should be here but isn't (or one that shouldn't be here but is), please do update the page accordingly.
