'''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.
