Main baranches of physics

Physics is the fundamental science of matter, energy, and their interactions, broadly divided into classical physics (macroscopic, pre-1900) and modern physics (microscopic/high-speed, post-1900). Key branches include mechanics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism, optics, relativity, and quantum mechanics, which analyze systems ranging from subatomic particles to the entire universe.

Here are the primary branches of physics:
Classical Mechanics: Studies the motion of macroscopic objects and forces acting on them (e.g., kinematics, dynamics, statics).
Thermodynamics: Investigates heat, temperature, energy transfer, and the relationship between work and energy.
Electromagnetism: Analyzes electric and magnetic fields, charges in motion or at rest, and their interactions.
Optics: Studies the properties, behavior, and propagation of light.
Quantum Mechanics: Deals with the behavior of matter and energy at atomic and subatomic scales.
Relativity: Examines mechanics at high speeds (near light speed) and the relationship between space, time, and gravity, formulated by Einstein.
Atomic & Nuclear Physics: Focuses on the structure of the atom and the behavior of the atomic nucleus, including radioactivity.
Condensed Matter Physics: Investigates the properties of solid and liquid matter, such as conductivity.
Astrophysics & Cosmology: Studies the physical properties of astronomical objects and the universe’s origin and evolution.
Plasma Physics: Examines highly ionized gases.

Junk

Boy, nothing like a tragedy to slap you in the face and bring you back to focusing on things that actually matter in your life. The tragedy didn’t happen to me or anyone in my family but to someone I know at my job. As I said it slapped me in the face and then […]

“Hallucinate” (At Least When We’re Talking About AI)

If I could ban one word from general usage, I wouldn’t go after the usual suspects — not the overused buzzwords, not the corporate jargon, not even the words that make my eyelid twitch when I hear them in a meeting. No, I’d go after a word that has wandered into the wrong neighborhood entirely: […]

A Word Women Are Done With

If you could permanently ban a word from general usage, which one would it be? Why? If I could remove one word from everyday conversations, it would be “adjust.”It sounds small.It sounds harmless.But for many women, it carries a lifetime of silence.From a young age, we are told — adjust.Adjust your dreams.Adjust your tone.Adjust your […]

If you could permanently ban a word from general usage, which one would it be? Why? ​”People often rely on the word ‘actually’ when they lack a clear explanation or want to evade a conversation. I believe it shouldn’t be used to obscure reality or to construct narratives that stray from truth and simplicity. We […]
