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.
Vania Jordanova – United States, physicist, space weather and geomagnetic storms [1] Brian David Josephson – U.K. (born 1940) Nobel laureate; James Prescott Joule – U.K. (1818–1889) Adolfas Jucys – Lithuania (1904–1974) Chang Kee Jung – South Korea, United States
The first Solvay Conference was held in Brussels in 1911 and was considered a turning point in the world of physics and chemistry. In 1903, Mikhail Tsvet invented chromatography, an important analytic technique. In 1904, Hantaro Nagaoka proposed an early nuclear model of the atom, where electrons orbit a dense massive nucleus.
For systemic use of experimentation in science and contributions to scientific method, physics and observational astronomy. The work of Principia by Newton, who also refined the scientific method, and who is widely regarded as the most important figure of the Scientific Revolution. [4] [5] Science (ancient) Thales (c. 624/623 – c. 548/545 BC ...

A golden age of physics began with the simultaneous discovery of the principle of the conservation of energy in the mid-19th century. [7] [8] A golden age of physics was the years 1925 to 1927. [9] The golden age of nonlinear physics was the period from 1950 to 1970, encompassing the Fermi–Pasta–Ulam–Tsingou problem and others. [10]
The Scientific Revolution occurs in Europe around this period, greatly accelerating the progress of science and contributing to the rationalization of the natural sciences. 16th century: Gerolamo Cardano solves the general cubic equation (by reducing them to the case with zero quadratic term).
The Scientific Revolution was a series of events that marked the emergence of modern science during the early modern period, when developments in mathematics, physics, astronomy, biology (including human anatomy) and chemistry transformed the views of society about nature.
