Physics Subjects

The science of the origin and development of the universe

The branch of physics that deals with the relationships between heat and other forms of energy

The generally accepted and experimentally confirmed physical theory regarding the relationship between space and time.

The application of the principles of statistics to the mechanics of a system consisting of a large number of parts having motions that differ by small steps over a large range.

A theory of gravitation which finds that the observed gravitational effect between masses results from their warping of spacetime

Describes the motion of macroscopic objects, from projectiles to parts of machinery, and astronomical objects

The field of physics that deals with the macroscopic and microscopic physical properties of matter.

The study of rigid matter, or solids, through methods such as quantum mechanics, crystallography, electromagnetism, and metallurgy.

A theoretical framework (i.e. not proven) in which the point-like particles of particle physics are replaced by one-dimensional objects called strings. It describes how these strings propagate through space and interact with each other; Many physicists consider this subject to be a pseudoscience due to a lack of evidence supporting its validity.

Deals with the mathematical description of the motion and interaction of subatomic particles, incorporating the concepts of quantization of energy, wave-particle duality, the uncertainty principle, and the correspondence principle.

The physics of atomic nuclei and their interactions, especially in the generation of nuclear energy.

The branch of science which deals with celestial objects, space, and the physical universe as a whole.

A theoretical framework that combines classical field theory, special relativity, and quantum mechanics but not general relativity's description of gravity.

The branch of physics that deals with the properties, relationships, and interactions of subatomic particles.

The branch of physics that studies the behavior and properties of light, including its interactions with matter and the construction of instruments that use or detect it.
