Modern Physics

edit

"Modern Physics" concerns areas of Physics which have only recently begun to be explored. Such areas include quantum physics and the exploration of particles. By "recently" here we mean since about the beginning of the 20th century, like modern art, so most of the things that will be covered here are really already well verified and understood.
