1. Physics - deals with the combination of matter and energy. It also
deals with a wide variety of systems, about which theories have
been developed that are used by physicists. In general, theories
are experimentally tested numerous times before they are
accepted as correct as a description of Nature (within a certain
domain of validity). For instance, the theory of classical
mechanics accurately describes the motion of objects, provided
they are much larger than atom sand moving at much less than
the speed of light. These theories continue to be areas of active
research: for instance, a remarkable aspect of classical
mechanics known as chaos was discovered in the 20th century,
three centuries after the original formulation of classical
mechanics by Isaac Newton (1642–1727). These "central
theories" are important tools for research in more specialized
topics, and any physicist, regardless of his or her specialization, is
expected to be literate in them.
