Exploring the Foundations and Frontiers of Physics
Title: Exploring the Foundations and Frontiers of Physics Physics, the fundamental science that seeks to understand the workings of the universe, encompasses a vast array of phenomena, from the subatomic realm to the cosmic scale. At its core, physics aims to uncover the underlying principles governing the behavior of matter, energy, space, and time. This note provides a brief overview of some key concepts, historical milestones, and contemporary frontiers in physics. Classical Mechanics: Classical mechanics, formulated by Isaac Newton in the 17th century, laid the groundwork for understanding the motion of objects. Newton's laws of motion and the law of universal gravitation provided a framework for explaining the dynamics of celestial bodies and terrestrial motion. Quantum Mechanics: In the early 20th century, the advent of quantum mechanics revolutionized our understanding of the microscopic world. Quantum theory describes the behavior of particles at the atomic and subatomic s...
