Aspects of Physics is an instrumental experimental music band from San Diego. It was formed in 2000 by ex-members of the enigmatic math rock band Physics. Founding members Jason Soares, JFRE "Robot" Coad, and Thatcher Orbitashi released their debut album Systems of Social Recalibration on July 2nd, 2002 on San Diego label imputor?. They tend to mix indie rock guitar samplings along with minimalist electronic beats and productions.

Thatcher Orbitashi has since left the band, and Aspects of Physics have added additional musicians with Rob Crow on guitars and Brent Asbury on drums.

Their sophomore album titled Marginalized Information Forms 1: Ping, the first in a three part series, was released on October 5th, 2004 by imputor? Records.

As a staple of the San Diego electronic music scene, Aspects of Physics has been nominated in the Best Electronic category at the San Diego Music Awards every year from 2002-2006. Their popularity has expanded well beyond San Diego, embarking on North American tours with such notable bands as Album Leaf, Pinback, Mates of State, and Plastiq Phantom.
