This timeline lists significant discoveries in physics and the laws of nature, including experimental discoveries, theoretical proposals that were confirmed experimentally, and theories that have significantly influenced current thinking in modern physics. Such discoveries are often a multi-step, multi-person process.
The timeline begins at the Bronze Age, as it is difficult to give even estimates for the timing of events prior to this, such as of the discovery of counting, natural numbers and arithmetic. To avoid overlap with timeline of historic inventions , the timeline does not list examples of documentation for manufactured substances and devices unless ...
The discovery finally convinces the physics community of the quark model's validity. 1974 Robert J. Buenker and Sigrid D. Peyerimhoff introduce the multireference configuration interaction method. 1975 Martin Perl discovers the tau lepton; 1977 Leon Lederman observes the bottom quark with his team at Fermilab. [30]
2000 – CERN announced quark-gluon plasma, a new phase of matter. [28]2023 – Physicists from US and China discovered a new state of matter called the chiral bose-liquid state [29]
Breakthrough would mark ‘holy grails of modern physics, unlocking major new developments in energy, transportation, healthcare, and communications’ – but it is a long way from being proven
1676 – Ole Rømer gives the first piece of evidence that the speed of light is finite, through his observation of the moons of Jupiter; [2] the discovery divides scientists of his time. [3] 1690 – Christiaan Huygens gives the first estimate of the speed of light in air or vacuum, based on Rømer’s work.
The wrecks of the Titanic and the Titan sit on the ocean floor, separated by 1,600 feet (490 meters) and 111 years of history. The Polar Prince, a Canadian icebreaker ship, steamed out of ...
A Missouri couple has been charged with child abuse after police claim they performed a circumcision on a child at their home despite not having the medical training to do so.
