Basic physics, also known as classical physics, encompasses the fundamental principles that describe the behavior of macroscopic objects in our everyday world. This branch includes classical mechanics, electromagnetism, and thermodynamics, covering topics like motion, forces, electricity, magnetism, heat, and fluid dynamics. In contrast, advanced physics goes into the more intricate and abstract realms of the universe. It includes theories such as...

A cohesive theory of everything from quantum physics and gravity to black holes and inertia. The theory hinges upon the existence of a single oscillating particle and the scalable forces created by the mass it governs. This hypothesis suggests that light and electromagnetism are the flow of a bipolar pair of these particles in resonance; while electrons and photons are discreet groups of this charge. Using this theory, everything is explicable, from...
