Interesting that relativity is included here; to me it's one of the main things separating modern physics from classical.

- matheist 1y agoI think in modern physics "classical" often means "not quantum", rather than "pre-modern".
- dawnofdusk 1y agoTypically non-relativistic and non-quantum is called "Newtonian". Classical is just for anything which is not quantized, and so far no one knows how to quantize general relativity.
- dreamcompiler 1y agoClassical means "not quantum." It doesn't mean "not relativity." Relativity is a classical discipline.
