Thermodynamics of the climate system. While the first law of thermodynamics is a well-established principle underlying all models of Earth’s climate system, applications of the second law in climate science are active areas of research.
What Is Modern Physics? Modern physics is a branch of physics that deals with the post-Newtonian concepts in the world of physics. It is based on the two major breakthroughs of the twentieth century: Relativity and Quantum Mechanics. Quantum effects typically involve distances related to atoms.
