Physics is the study of matter, energy and the interactions of the two.

Physics can be divided into two main branches: mechanics (the study of the behavior of forces and objects acting due to those forces); and, electricity and magnetism (which delves into the science of the atom).

The fundamental branches of physics:

classical mechanics

electromagnetism (including optics)

relativity

thermodynamics

quantum mechanics

astronomy

electromagnetism

Some of the more popular or modern branches of physics:

Astro and space physics (study of stars, planets, black holes, etc.)

geophysics (study of like earthquakes and plate tectonics)

nuclear physics

particle physics

medical physics

biophysics, and quantum physics, which is mostly theoretical
