about physics

Classical physics, which means all of the physics developed before 1900, includes
the theories, concepts, laws, and experiments in classical mechanics, thermodynamics,
and electromagnetism

Important contributions to classical physics were provided by Newton, who developed
classical mechanics as a systematic theory and was one of the originators
of calculus as a mathematical tool.

were not developed until the latter part of the 19th century, principally because
before that time the apparatus for controlled experiments was either too crude or
unavailable.

A new era in physics, usually referred to as modern physics, began near the end
of the 19th century. Modern physics developed mainly because of the discovery
that many physical phenomena could not be explained by classical physics.

traditional
concepts of space, time, and energy; quantum mechanics, which applies to
both the microscopic and macroscopic worlds, was originally formulated by a number
of distinguished scientists to provide descriptions of physical phenomena at
the atomic level.

Scientists constantly work at improving our understanding of phenomena and
fundamental laws, and new discoveries are made every day. In many research
areas, a great deal of overlap exists between physics, chemistry, geology, and
biology, as well as engineering. Some of the most notable developments are
