IN BRIEF Start with classical physics. Avoid quantum mechanics and theory of relativity at the beginning. Focus on experimental or computational research projects. Have a minimum background in mathematics. Consider a M2 in theoretical physics as a classical pathway. Acquire knowledge of wave function in quantum physics. Take university courses to deepen knowledge. Explore fundamental … Read more
IN BRIEF Influence of physical techniques on society Transformations of work methods through technology Impact of digital overconsumption on social relationships Value and meaning of work in the current context Technical progress and its social consequences Developments in interactions between scientists and society Advances in biophysics: stakes and applications Importance of physics in our daily … Read more
IN BRIEF Electromagnetism: study of interactions between charged particles. Electromagnetic field: combination of electric and magnetic fields. An electric field is related to a voltage. A magnetic field arises from moving electric charges. The two fields are inseparable and interact with each other. An electric current generates both an electric field and a magnetic field. … Read more

IN BRIEF Symmetry: A fundamental concept in physics, reflecting the invariance of a system under transformations. Transformations: Symmetries can be associated with changes such as rotations or inversions. Symmetry groups: A mathematical structure that formalizes the relationships between symmetries and physical laws. Conservation: Each symmetry leads to the conservation of a physical quantity, according to … Read more
IN BRIEF Big Bang : a cosmic event marking the origin of the Universe according to the current cosmological model. Origins of the Universe : study of the conditions that preceded and followed the Big Bang. Formation Eras : the Universe evolved through the radiation era, then the matter era. String Theory : suggests that … Read more
IN BRIEF Definition: Quantum physics is a set of theories developed in the 20th century to explain the behavior of atoms and particles. Scientific revolution: Considered one of the two great revolutions of the twentieth century, along with the theory of relativity. Nature of interactions: It describes how energy exchanges happen in discrete values called … Read more
IN BRIEF 1803: John Dalton proposes the first atomic model. 1897: Discovery of the electron by Thomson. 1911: Identification of the nucleus by Rutherford. 1920: Discovery of the proton. 1922: Development of electron shells by Bohr. Transition from Dalton to Bohr models, incorporating energy levels. The Bohr model remains a reference model in physics for … Read more
IN BRIEF The theory of relativity formulated by Albert Einstein. Special relativity discovered in 1905, challenging classical notions. General relativity established in 1915, revising our understanding of gravity. Time can slow down and space can contract. This theory has revolutionized our view of the universe. Implications in physics and astrophysics are essential. Initial criticisms, but … Read more
