Modern physics
From Rice Wiki
Modern physics is primarily about the following concepts:
- Special relativity says that the speed of light is constant in all frames, and that time is not the same.
- General relativity says that acceleration is indistinguishable from gravity
- Interactions are quantized/discrete at a single space-time point, with no action at a distance
- Modern physics is fundamentally statistical, whereas classical physics are deterministic.
This includes topics such as special/general relativity, quantum mechanics, statistical physics, nuclear physics, and fundamental particles.
