@article{Journal-Physics-Appl, author = {Arpita Jamwal}, title = { Into Modern Physics: A Journey into the Quantum Realm}, journal = {Journal of Advanced Research in Applied Physics and Applications}, volume = {6}, number = {1}, year = {2023}, keywords = {}, abstract = {Over the past century, the field of contemporary physics has seen dramatic changes that have revealed the astounding and frequently puzzling nature of the cosmos at both macroscopic and microscopic sizes. This review article takes us on a fascinating tour through the history of science, exploring significant developments in the area of physics, from the theory of relativity to the mysterious world of quantum mechanics. Our goal is to present a thorough and understandable overview of these ground-breaking theories and their profound ramifications, emphasising how important they are in influencing not only our knowledge of science but also the fundamental nature of reality. We attempt to convey the interconnectedness of these theories and their influence on how we conceptualise the universe through an examination of the theory of relativity, which redefined how we perceive space, time, gravity, to the mind-blowing revelations of quantum mechanics, which revealed the intricate dance of particles on the smallest scales. The standard model of particle physics’ complicated paths are explored in this review, which also highlights the subatomic building blocks’ beautiful tapestry and the forces that control how they interact. Additionally, we begin a stimulating investigation into the unification of forces, starting with the electroweak theory and moving on to the intriguing prospects of string theory and loop quantum gravity, which provide hints at a potential grand unified theory. We are on the verge of a momentous undertaking as we read through the pages of modern physics: the search for a Theory of Everything that would hopefully bring these various ideas into harmony and shed light on the greatest mysteries of existence. The search for this elusive theory continues to inspire scientists and thinkers around the world, advancing mankind towards a deeper understanding of the cosmos and our place within it. In this review, we encourage readers to join us as we explore the fascinating story of contemporary physics and the never-ending quest for knowledge that characterises our species’ insatiable curiosity.}, pages = {8--13}, url = {http://www.thejournalshouse.com/index.php/JoARAPA/article/view/1098} }
