Why you need quantum or modern physics while classical physics existed already?

Classical physics was based upon how the things we deal with every day move when we deal with them in everyday situations. As we started to discover new things (protons, electrons, redshift, etc) classical physics failed to completely explain what we observed. Modern physics explained time-and-space related quandries while quantum physics explained wave-and-particle dualities.

Why classical physics changes from classical to quantum?
actually, classical physics can be formulated as an approximation of the laws of quantum theory, where the Planck constant tends to 0.
What are the two major divisions of physics?
classical physics and (Quantum or modern) Physics
What are the two major of physical?
classical physics and (Quantum or modern) Physics
What is the definition of classical physics?
Classical physics is the physics without considering quantum mechanics. This is the type of physics practiced by for example Newton (you might also come across the term Newtonian physics). General relativity is also a classical theory. The distinction is often used because quantum mechanics changed quite a bit in many fields of physics, so the term 'classical physics' allows for a clear distinction. The opposite of classical physics would be quantum physics.
Distinguish between quantum and classical physics?
Newtonian, or classical physics applies to physical, every day things, while quantum physics is a type of theoretical physics that does not apply to any physical things.
2 divisions of physics?
Classical (or Newtonian) and Quantum.
Who created Quantum Mechanics and is it true that it is replacing the old physics?
Quantum Mechanics "replaced" Classical Mechanics in particle physics in mid-1930s.

Have quantum physics been proven?
What sort of proof do you want? It has certainly been found that modern physics (on the one hand, quantum physics, on the other hand, the theory of relativity) provides a more precise description of the Universe than classical physics.
