Historically, physics emerged from the scientific revolution of the 17th century, grew rapidly in the 19th century, then was transformed by a series of discoveries in the 20th century. Physics today may be divided loosely into classical physics and modern physics .
This Handbook looks at the history of physics since the seventeenth century. It is comprised of four sections, the first of which discusses the place of reason, mathematics, and experiment in the age of the scientific revolution. The first section also covers the contributions of Galileo, René Descartes, and Isaac Newton.
This timeline lists significant discoveries in physics and the laws of nature, including experimental discoveries, theoretical proposals that were confirmed experimentally, and theories that have significantly influenced current thinking in modern physics.

fied physics, cosmology, and geology, including mechanical explanations of everything from magnetism to earthquakes. Planets move as they do because they are embed-ded in a whirling vortex of subtle matter, according to Descartes, and the interaction among vortices associated with different stars explains various other phenomena, such as comets.
776 BCE: The first recorded Ancient Olympic Games take place. ~500 BCE: In Ancient Greece, it is (already) widely believed that the Earth is round. ~500 BCE: Magnetism is discovered in magnetite rock (also known as lodestone). ~400 BCE: Existence of atoms (a smallest unit of matter) is hypothesised.
