Finding the Physics Code of Ethics

AI Thread Summary
A universal code of ethics for Physics does not exist; however, various professional organizations have their own codes. In the U.S., the American Physical Society (APS) provides a code of conduct for its members, which can be accessed online. The original poster struggled to find this information despite searching the APS and AIP websites. The APS code of conduct link was shared as a helpful resource. This discussion highlights the importance of specific organizational codes in the field of Physics.

Can someone please tell me where I may find a page with the 'Code of Ethics' for Physics? In my Humanities class, we are required to bring in a copy of the code of ethics for our major...and mine is Physics; however, I have looked in a few places online with no avail.

Any help, links, etc. are greatly appreciated.

There is no such thing as a "universal" code of ethids for Physics. There is, however, code of ethics and conduct for members of various professional physics organizations throughout various parts of the world. In the US, the physicists professional society is the Americal Physical Society. The code of conduct for APS members can be found at:

Exactly what I needed! Thanks a ton!

I searched the APS and AIP sites this morning for about 10-minutes each and never came across anything by searching. I figured they had to have a code somewhere though.

Thanks again.
 
So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
