Physics The study of how the world works at a fundamental level. Theory of space and time, either not or in the influence of gravity. Relativity How and why things move the way they do. Classical Mechanics Electromagnetism, the Weak interaction and the Strong interaction & gravity Fundamental Forces Study of fundamental particles and interactions that make up matter & radiation -- up to nucleons. Particle Physics On nuclear matter (prominently atomic nuclei); its interactions and what makes up the stuff. Nuclear Physics Ahh, thermodynamics. Heat Certain behaviors & phenomena of nature which appear noticeably at atomic and subatomic scales. Quantum Physics Fringe theories. Paraphysics (e.g. psionics): literary overview, advice, possible justifications. Wacky

Engineering Applications of physics -- technologizing physics for our own goals & designs. Speculative applications of relativity: click here for wormholes, warp drives and the like. Metric Engineering It's not hard. Rocket Science Developing technologies at the nanometer scale (1 nm - 999 nm). Nanotechnology Robotics and mechatronic engineering is covered here - how to make these nifty things. Robotics Applications of nuclear physics - power reactors, medicinal, weapons - and more. Nuclear Engineering Fans of radiators -- navigate here! Heat Management Applications of Materials Science. Also, speculative materials e.g. monopoles. Materials Engineering Anomalous Materials Antipeople and Antimateriel Engineering Weapons
