Physical events are events that occur in the physical world, including the brain and other parts of the human body. Something that happens in the brain is a physical event. These are to be distinguished from mental events.

A comment : an event is an act or action or some motion or deed that consumes a certain amount of time from its beginning to its accomplishment. A physical event is an event whose statement is incontrovertible if people agree on the meaning of the words used to describe the event. For example, the remark :"an apple fell from the tree in the garden" is controvertible if the event giving rise to visual images actually took place such that the noun apple is agreed as a correct description of the object seen to have fallen, and the word fell is agreed as the correct description of the motion of the object, also the noun tree is agreed as a correct description of the larger object seen from which something (the apple) fell. Words are conceptual tools that aid us to make sense (make) of the phenomena befalling our eyes. The first statement is not much different from "I feel very hot" except that this is more subjective in nature, although this can be empathized by others, but this statement is incontrovertible if the words correctly convey the state of your brain. now if the temperature of the room is very high, say 36 degrees celsius, and you are in thick clothes, the heat of your own body produced by metabolism cannot be dissipated as quickly and this leads to excitation of some neurons in your brain that is a warning of greater danger coming (ie your fainting and collapse or even death), so the statement correctly conveys the state of your brain because it motivates you to do something that eliminates the danger, eg. to leave the hot room or to put off the clothes or to switch on the air conditioner.

Physical quantityA physical quantity is the result of measurement and usually expressed as the product of a numerical value and a physical unit (whereby SI units are usually preferred). Example : P 42. 3 x 103 W 42. 3 kW where P represents the physical quantity for power	Physical constantIn science, a physical constant is a physical quantity whose numerical value does not change. It can be contrasted with a mathematical constant, which is a fixed value that does not directly involve a physical measurement. There are many physical constant	PhysicalismSee also the old text of this article Physicalism/Larry's text.
