What is the difference between physics and quantum physics?

Classical physics is causal; complete knowledge of the past allows computation of the future. Objects in quantum physics are neither particles nor waves; they are a strange combination of both. Given complete knowledge of the past, we can make only probabilistic predictions of the future.

How many types of mechanics are there in physics?

There are two main types of mechanics: Classical mechanics. Quantum mechanics.

Why are the problems of modern physics so unsolved?

And they are as unsolved today as they were then. The major cause of this stagnation is that physics has changed, but physicists have not changed their methods. As physics has progressed, the foundations have become increasingly harder to probe by experiment. Technological advances have not kept size and expenses manageable.

Is physics a failure of the scientific method?

And so, what we have here in the foundation of physics is a plain failure of the scientific method. All these wrong predictions should have taught physicists that just because they can write down equations for something does not mean this math is a scientifically promising hypothesis.

Do theoretical physicists ignore the philosophy and sociology of Science?

The consequence has been that experiments in the foundations of physics past the 1970s have only confirmed the already existing theories. None found evidence of anything beyond what we already know. But theoretical physicists did not learn the lesson and still ignore the philosophy and sociology of science.

What is the importance of denotations in physics?

The denotations make the representation of the quantities easier. In this article, some of the most popular physics symbols are mentioned. It is interesting to note that some physics symbols are very relatable (like “d” for distance) while some are unrelatable (like “c” for the speed of light).
