Physics in Perspective seeks to bridge the gulf between physicists and non-physicists through historical and philosophical studies that typically display the unpredictable as well as the cross-disciplinary interplay of observation, experiment, and theory that has occurred over extended periods of time in academic, governmental, and industrial settings and in allied disciplines such as astrophysics, chemical physics, and geophysics. The journal also publishes first-person accounts by physicists of significant contributions they have made, biographical articles, book reviews, and guided tours of historical sites in cities throughout the world. It strives to make all articles understandable to a broad spectrum of readers – scientists, teachers, students, and the public at large.

物理的角度尋求橋之間的鴻溝物理學家和non-physicists通過歷史和哲學的研究,通常顯示預測以及跨學科之間的觀察、實驗和理論,發生在長時間的學術、政府、以及工業設置和盟軍天體物理學等學科,化學物理和地球物理。該雜志還出版了物理學家對其重要貢獻的第一人稱敘述、傳記文章、書評和世界各地城市歷史遺跡的導游。它努力使所有的文章都能被廣大讀者所理解——科學家、教師、學生和廣大公眾。
