Other Physics

This group collects the Physics subcategory's members whose own recorded description does not state a specific physics subfield in the terms this subcategory's other groups use: inventors, instrument makers, natural philosophers and researchers adjacent to physics whose work is nonetheless filed under this subcategory. It is the subcategory's residual catch-all, kept deliberately separate from the subfield groups above rather than force-fitting a member into a subfield its own description does not name, exactly the same convention the report's own proposed grouping scheme for this subcategory anticipated with its own explicit Other Physics group.
