Physics
For everyone
The field that studies matter, energy, space, time and their interactions. In physics a theory is judged by how well its predictions agree with experiment and observation. New measurements can limit or change older theories.
For specialists
Present-day physics rests on two basic frameworks: general relativity, which describes gravity as the curvature of spacetime, and quantum field theory, which describes the electromagnetic, weak and strong interactions in the Standard Model. Combining the two in a single theory of quantum gravity, the nature of dark matter and dark energy, and the neutrino masses are major open questions.
Claims
- The parameters and experimental tests of the Standard Model are compiled regularly by the Particle Data Group.[1]
