Modern Physics

( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)

"Modern" physics means physics based on the two major breakthroughs of the early the twentieth century: relativity and quantum mechanics. Physics based on what was known before then (Newton's laws, Maxwell's equations, thermodynamics) is called "classical" physics.
