Theoretical Physics

The branch of Physics which takes the help of mathematical models and physical substances abstraction to explain, expound and foretell regarding natural phenomena is known as Theoretical Physics. In some cases, theoretical physics follows the principles of mathematical thoroughness while giving little importance to experiments and observations. The quality of a physical theory is also measured based on its ability to pose new predictions and assumptions which can be confirmed by new observations.

Mathematical models and deliberations of physical objects and frameworks were employed in Theoretical Physics to rationalize, explain and predict natural phenomena. This is in the total perspective shift from Experimental physics, which uses laboratory tools to delve into these phenomena. The progress of science generally depends on the coaction between experiments and theory. In some cases, theoretical physics follows the principles of mathematical thoroughness while giving little importance to experiments and observations. Theoretical Physics is a tool which guides us towards understanding nature and help extend practical methods and technologies to crack our physical environment. There is a deep dualistic link between theory and experiment which makes then one cannot exist without the other.
