Crimes against physical constants (or simply crimes against physics) are crimes committed against the motion of matter through space and time.

Variants:

  • Crimes against light
  • Crimes against gravity
  • Crimes against momentum
  • Crimes against velocity
  • Crimes against electroweak force

Most crimes against physics are based on crimes against mathematical constants.

Many crimes against physical constants overlap with, or actively collaborate with, crimes against chemical constants.
