Definition ∞ Classical physics describes the fundamental laws governing matter and energy at macroscopic scales and velocities much slower than light. This scientific framework encompasses mechanics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism, and optics. It provides accurate predictions for phenomena observable in everyday life and forms the basis for many engineering and technological applications. The principles of classical physics do not typically apply to the quantum or relativistic domains.
Context ∞ While classical physics itself has no direct connection to cryptocurrency news, digital assets, or their underlying systems, it forms the foundational understanding of the physical world within which computational infrastructure operates. The security and performance of blockchain networks depend on the physical integrity of servers and communication channels, which are governed by classical physical laws. Debates regarding energy consumption in proof-of-work systems sometimes reference classical thermodynamic principles.
