Key Terms

Scientific Revolution
A period in the 16th and 17th centuries marked by major advancements in scientific thought.

Example: The Scientific Revolution led to the development of modern science.

Newton's Laws
Three fundamental laws that describe the motion of objects.

Example: Newton's first law states that an object at rest stays at rest unless acted upon by a force.

Relativity
A theory proposed by Einstein that describes the relationship between space, time, and gravity.

Example: Einstein's theory of relativity changed our understanding of time and space.

Quantum Mechanics
A branch of physics that deals with the behavior of very small particles.

Example: Quantum mechanics explains phenomena that classical physics cannot.

Electromagnetism
The interaction between electric charges and magnetic fields.

Example: Electromagnetism is responsible for electricity and magnetism.

Standard Model
A theory that describes the fundamental particles and forces in the universe.

Example: The Standard Model includes particles like quarks and leptons.
