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.

This timeline describes the major developments, both experimental and theoretical understanding of fluid mechanics and continuum mechanics. This timeline includes developments in: Theoretical models of hydrostatics, hydrodynamics and aerodynamics. Hydraulics; Elasticity; Mechanical waves and acoustics; Valves and fluidics; Gas laws; Turbulence ...
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
Einstein, in 1905, when he wrote the Annus Mirabilis papers. 1900 – To explain black-body radiation (1862), Max Planck suggests that electromagnetic energy could only be emitted in quantized form, i.e. the energy could only be a multiple of an elementary unit E = hν, where h is the Planck constant and ν is the frequency of the radiation.

1992 – Stephen Hawking states his chronology protection conjecture. [221] 1993 – Demetrios Christodoulou and Sergiu Klainerman prove the non-linear stability of the Minkowski spacetime. [222] [214] 1995 – John F. Donoghue show that general relativity is a quantum effective field theory. [223]
This timeline also ignores, for reasons of volume and clarity: the long story of spacetime and the concept of time as the fourth dimension; e.g. the ideas of Lagrange and Wells; mathematical innovations that influenced the formalism of SR, e.g. the introduction of fibre bundles;
