A theory is something that has been tested over time and the data constantly supports it. Examples are the theory of relativity or the theory of evolution. This is way different from the conventional usage, which is just something somebody things. I hate it when people use it that way!
Note: A theory is never proven. Nothing in science is proven, but a theory is as close as you can get. The data can only support the facts.

What type of physics is the theory of relativity?
Modern physics!
Did experimental physics or the theoretical physics come first?
Experimental physics. Only with experiments come a theory:)
What is the theory that marks the beginnings of modern physics?
It's the Quantum Theory.

What are the diff branches physics?
branches of physics are - Neclear physics Electromagnetism Quantum mechanics Interdisciplinary fields Quantum field theory
Why is Einsteins Relativity Theory and Quantum Physics at odds?
Einstein's Relativity Theory is at odds with quantum physics because Einstein's theory works at a macroscopic level, while quantum physics works at an atomic level, and things at the atomic level work differently from the macroscopic level.
