Another important improvement to the instrument was developed in the 1830s by the Dublin Physicist Humphrey Lloyd, who devised a way of attaching a magnetic needle at right-angles to the dip needle in order to measure the intensity of force ( by seeing the extent to which the right-angle needle deflected the dip-needle ).

Physicist Alan Sokal had submitted an article to Social Text titled " Transgressing the Boundaries: Towards a Transformative Hermeneutics of Quantum Gravity ," which proposed that quantum gravity is a linguistic and social construct and that quantum physics supports postmodernist criticisms of scientific objectivity.

Physicist Murray Gell-Mann for example acknowledged that " when biological evolution — based on largely random variation in genetic material and on natural selection — operates on the structure of actual organisms, it does so subject to the laws of physical science, which place crucial limitations on how living things can be constructed .".
