Several Ways Physics Relates To The Immaterial

Matters of pure logic, personal introspection, values, and other key areas of metaphysics and epistemology have nothing to do with the entire spectrum of physics, as they either can be/are philosophically self-contained or do not conceptually require any awareness of how particles behave.  Physics holds all of science, yet science does not encircle all of reality; only logic can.  Logic, by nature of governing all truths and things that exist, is the immaterial thing that all else are subservient to.  Reason is grasped directly and without any input from physics, while no one can understand physics without the light of reason.  What this does not mean is that there is absolutely no way that physics can directly relate back to anything that is immaterial.

Sound itself is nonphysical, for example, but if sound requires physical substances to travel through, empirical observations of the correlations between vibrations in matter and sound fall in the domain of physics.  Vibrating matter cannot be excluded from physics no matter what immaterial things it might interact with.  Likewise, consciousness is immaterial, but the neurological phenomena that correlate with certain mental experiences reduce down to a biological subcategory of physics.  Sound and the human consciousness that perceives sound are both metaphysically comprised of non-matter, but physics is still associated with them in a more indirect sort of way that lurks in the background--beyond the most important aspects of their metaphysics but still somewhat relevant all the same.

This is also how physics is relevant to the issue of energy, particularly as nonphysical energy is conceived of as the ultimate foundation of matter according to string theory.  While consciousness is understood through logic and immediate introspection, not outward scientific observations, energy's relationship with matter can be at least hypothetically seen in some cases.  The relationship between energy and matter, ironically more so than that between consciousness and matter, is closer to the forefront of scientific thought and discussion, even though the nonphysical nature of energy is seldom emphasized in a way that acknowledges its philosophical ramifications [1].  This is perhaps the connection between physics and an immaterial thing that receives the most contemporary attention at the popular level, even if energy is distinguished from matter only to be inconsistently treated as a material thing by some.

Only logic encompasses all metaphysical and epistemological matters, but physics still encompasses all of the physical events and objects that have any sort of relationship to immaterial existents like the laws of reason themselves, sound, human consciousness, and the energy so many people mention when they elaborate on scientific descriptions of matter.  Physics may be irrelevant to understanding almost everything about core metaphysics and epistemology, from the self-verifying nature of logical axioms to issues of morality to inquiring into the existence of other minds, but the former is still connected to the latter in a different way.  In this regard, physics has a side far grander than the practicality and convenience its other benefits reduce down to.
