| For the longest time this was the only field of physics. It was the field of the likes of Isaac Newton and concerns the motion of rigid objects. Then came question #6. | |
| Once two separate fields they were united by James Clark Maxwell. This theory describes the (classical) interplay of charges and fields. | |
| The macroscopic behaviour of heat. | |
| The result of applying question #3 to a microscopic system where quantum effects reign supreme and probability theory dominates. | |
| The physics of things that flows. | |
| Developed by heavy hitters like Bohr, Dirac and Schrodinger this field concerns the physics of the microscopic (provided nothing is moving too fast). | |
| Supernova, pulsars, galaxy formation. These are the topics of concern in this area of physics. | |
| This field of physics comes from reconciling question #6 with Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity and is considered the most accurate physical theory ever created. | |

| Often considered a slightly different field than question #7, this is the field which studies the origins of the universe and the Big Bang. | |
| A newer field of physics which seeks to describe things like protein folding, behaviour of cell membranes, the physics of enzymes, etc. Also things like population dynamics. | |
| The largest field of physics. It concerns the physics of many, many quantum particles and areas such as Superconductivity, Bose-Einstein Condensates and Solid State Devices. | |
| This less well known but extremely well funded branch of physics investigates things like the way metals cool, the way plastics fracture, the physics of metallurgy, etc. | |
| The physics of chemical reactions as well as molecular bonds and other things that cross-over with the field of Chemistry. | |
| This field of physics which concerns the behaviour and structure of atomic nuclei became very popular during 1939-1945. | |
| The very trendy String Theory and Loop Quantum Gravity are examples from this field of study that attempts to unify all four of the forces in nature. | |
