| Special relativity Special relativity (SR) (also known as the special theory of relativity or STR) is the physical theory of measurement in inertial frames of reference proposed in 1905 by Albert Einstein (after the considerable and independent contributions of Hendrik Lorentz, Henri Poincaré and others) in the paper "On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies".

| Substance theory Substance theory, or substance attribute theory, is an ontological theory about objecthood, positing that a substance is distinct from its properties. This is part of essentialism in that ousia as a substance can also be a descriptor of an objects being (ontology) and or nature. As substance or ousia is a permanent property of an object without which the object no longer remains itself and therefore becomes some other object. Substance_theory | |
| Sicily Sicily (Italian and Sicilian:Sicilia) is an autonomous region of Italy. Of all the regions of Italy, Sicily covers the largest land area at and currently has just over five million inhabitants. It is also the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea. In addition, several much smaller islands surrounding it are also considered to be part of Sicily. Along with Sardinia, the island is officially classified as a region of Insular Italy. Sicily | |
| Space Space is the boundless, three-dimensional extent in which objects and events occur and have relative position and direction. Physical space is often conceived in three linear dimensions, although modern physicists usually consider it, with time, to be part of the boundless four-dimensional continuum known as spacetime.

| Solar energy Solar energy is the radiant light and heat from the Sun that has been harnessed by humans since ancient times using a range of ever-evolving technologies. Solar radiation along with secondary solar resources such as wind and wave power, hydroelectricity and biomass account for most of the available renewable energy on Earth. Only a minuscule fraction of the available solar energy is used. Solar_energy | |
| Stem cell Stem cells are cells found in most, if not all, multi-cellular organisms. They are characterized by the ability to renew themselves through mitotic cell division and differentiating into a diverse range of specialized cell types. Research in the stem cell field grew out of findings by Canadian scientists Ernest A. McCulloch and James E. Till in the 1960s. embryonic stem cells that are isolated from the inner cell mass of blastocysts, and adult stem cells that are found in adult tissues. In a Stem_cell | |
| Steve Wozniak Stephen Gary "Woz" Wozniak (born August 11, 1950 in San Jose, California) is an American computer engineer who founded Apple Computer (now Apple Inc.) with Steve Jobs. His inventions and machines are credited with contributing significantly to the personal computer revolution of the 1970s. Steve_Wozniak | |
| Stephen Jay Gould Stephen Jay Gould (September 10, 1941 paleontologist, evolutionary biologist, and historian of science. He was also one of the most influential and widely read writers of popular science of his generation. Gould spent most of his career teaching at Harvard University and working at the American Museum of Natural History in New York. In the latter years of his life, Gould also taught biology and evolution at New York University near his home in SoHo. Stephen_Jay_Gould | |
| Sociobiology Sociobiology is a neo-Darwinian synthesis of scientific disciplines that attempts to explain social behavior in all species by considering the evolutionary advantages the behaviors may have. It is often considered a branch of biology and sociology, but also draws from ethology, anthropology, evolution, zoology, archaeology, population genetics and other disciplines. Within the study of human societies, sociobiology is closely related to the fields of human behavioral ecology and evolutionary psychology. Sociobiology | |
| Sharp-P #P, pronounced "sharp P" or "number P", is a complexity class in computational complexity theory. It is the set of counting problems associated with the decision problems in the set NP. #P is the class of function problems of the form "compute ƒ(x)," where ƒ is the number of accepting paths of an NP machine. Unlike most well-known complexity classes, it is not a class of decision problems but a class of function problems. Sharp-P | |

| Singular they "Singular they" is a popular, non-technical expression for uses of the pronoun they (and its inflected forms) when plurality is not required by the context. For example, in the sentence "Anyone who thinks they have been affected should contact their doctor", the number of people affected is not giventhey and their are generic, non-referring pronouns (technically, anaphora) within the scope of a universal, distributive quantifier denoted by anyone. they is only Singular_they | |
| Spontaneous emission Spontaneous emission is the process by which a light source such as an atom, molecule, nanocrystal or nucleus in an excited state undergoes a transition to the ground state and emits a photon. Spontaneous emission of light or luminescence is a fundamental process that plays an essential role in many phenomena in nature and forms the basis of many applications, such as fluorescent tubes, older television screens (cathode ray tubes), plasma display panels, lasers (for startup - normal continuous operation works by stimulated emission instead) and light emitting diodes.

| Soul In many religions and parts of philosophy, the soul is the spiritual or immaterial part of a human being, often regarded as immortal. It is usually thought to consist of one's consciousnesss and personality, and can be synonymous with the spirit, mind or self. Soul | |

| Separation of powers The separation of powers, also known as trias politica, is a model for the governance of democratic states. The model was first developed in ancient Greece and came into widespread use by the Roman Republic as part of the uncodified Constitution of the Roman Republic. Under this model, the state is divided into branches or estates, each with separate and independent powers and areas of responsibility. The normal division of estates is into an executive, a legislature, and a judiciary. Separation_of_powers | |

| Static code analysis Static code analysis is the analysis of computer software that is performed without actually executing programs built from that software (analysis performed on executing programs is known as dynamic analysis). In most cases the analysis is performed on some version of the source code and in the other cases some form of the object code. The term is usually applied to the analysis performed by an automated tool, with human analysis being called program understanding or program comprehension. Static_code_analysis | |

| IBM System/360 IBM System/360 (S/360) is a mainframe computer system family announced by IBM on April 7, 1964. It was the first family of computers designed to cover the full range of applications, from small to large, both commercial and scientific. The design made a clear distinction between architecture and implementation, allowing IBM to release a suite of compatible designs at different price points. IBM_System/360 | |

| Problem of evil Talk:Problem_of_evil | |
| Problem of evil In the philosophy of religion and theology, the problem of evil is the question of whether evil exists and, if so, why. The question particularly arises in religions that propose the existence of a deity who is omnibenevolent while simultaneously also being omnipotent, and omniscient; attempts to resolve the question under these contexts has historically been one of the prime concerns of theodicy. The problem is also relevant to certain polytheistic traditions involving many gods. Problem_of_evil |
