Physics Theories list

[/backslash/]

I thought it would be helpful if we compiled a

It's of physics theories, maybe for cross referencing and citations in physics posts. I've got a few; see if you can find more to list. Links would be great.

My noob list:

-Abstract Quantum Theory

-Markov chains (discrete classical probabilities) and information theory

-Theory of Quantum States and Measurements, and its resulting concept of entropy

-Least Action Principle (fundamental expression of classical mechanics, reversible phenomena)

-Conservation Laws (macroscopic approach of classical mechanics)

-Symplectic Chaos Theory (continuous probabilities in reversible phenomena. Examples: study of stability of planetary orbits; asteroid belts and globular clusters - even if some kinds of irreversible processes are present there too)

-Dissipative Chaos Theory (example : climatology)

-Thermic Equilibrium (microscopic description at a fixed temperature)

-Classical Thermodynamics (macroscopic description; either static or dynamic behaviors, using the macroscopic effects of the thermic equilibrium of every small zone of matter at their respective temperatures)

This is from settheory.com.

"-Markov chains (discrete classical probabilities) and information theory"

 

Above is not a physics theory, although it may be applied to physical phenomena.

Right.

It might be helpful to group the theories in some form of hierarchy, or classification scheme.

Sounds like agreat idea. I'll compile thes into a Pages doc.
