"Physics envy" is a term often used in the social sciences and humanities to describe a phenomenon where scholars in these fields seek to adopt the methods, standards, and rigor of the natural sciences, particularly physics. This term expresses a certain admiration for the perceived precision, objectivity, and empirical validation found in physics, which some practitioners of the social sciences feel is lacking in their own disciplines.
