Physics
Physics (Greek: physis – φύσις meaning "nature") is a natural science; it is the study of matter and its motion through spacetime and all that derives from these, such as energy and force.
More broadly, it is the general analysis of nature, conducted in order to understand how the world and universe behave.
Physics is both significant and influential, in part because advances in its understanding have often translated into new technologies, but also because new ideas in physics often resonate with the other sciences, mathematics and philosophy. For example, advances in the understanding of electromagnetism led directly to the development of new products which have dramatically transformed modern-day society (e.g., television, computers, and domestic appliances); advances in thermodynamics led to the development of motorized transport; and advances in mechanics inspired the development of calculus.

The term modern physics refers to the post-Newtonian conception of physics. What does that mean? Well the term implies that classical descriptions of phenomena are lacking, and that an accurate, "modern", description of reality requires theories to incorporate elements of quantum mechanics or Einsteinian relativity, or both. In fact there are even more modern concepts than Einstein's that need to be incorporated as well. If you ask me I believe we are at the doorstep of a new era in physics, and as we leave the atomic age, we are heading into a world of higher dimensions, field dynamics, and the embracing of infinty as not only a concept but as a working model for micro and macro matehmatics.
