What is a quantum field?

The quantum field theory is a theoretical framework for constructing quantum mechanical models. These models are of subatomic particles in particle physics.


What is the Best working models in physics?

dynamo


What term is defined as the study of energy and its tronsformations?

Physics is the general term used for the discipline that studies and models the types of energy and energy sources. But there are specific labels for specific kinds of energy studies. These in include, but are not limited to, nuclear physics, sub-atomic physics, thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, mechanics, astrophysics, physical chemistry, and so on. The definition of physics is "...the branch of science concerned with the nature and properties of matter and energy. " [Dictionary]


Short meaning of theoretical physics?

Theoretical physics is a branch of physics that employs the use of abstractions and mathematical models of systems and physical objects to explain natural phenomena.


Who discovered the String Theory?

Leonard Susskind (born 1940) is the Felix Bloch Professor of Theoretical Physics at Stanford University. His research interests include string theory, quantum field theory, quantum statistical mechanics and quantum cosmology. He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, an associate member of the faculty of Canada's Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics, and a distinguished professor of the Korea Institute for Advanced Study. Susskind is widely regarded as one of the fathers of string theory, who with Yoichiro Nambu and Holger Bech Nielsen, independently introduced the idea that particles could in fact be states of excitation of a relativistic string. He was the first to introduce the idea of the string theory landscape in 2003.In 1997, Susskind was awarded the J.J. Sakurai Prize for his "pioneering contributions to hadronic string models, lattice gauge theories, quantum chromodynamics, and dynamical symmetry breaking". Susskind's hallmark, according to colleagues, has been the application of "brilliant imagination and originality to the theoretical study of the nature of the elementary particles and forces that make up the physical world."

What is an example of action at a distance?

There isn't one. According to standard physics, it is impossible. However, some models of quantum physics seem to allow for it under special conditions.


Is the atomic theory always the model of matter?

No, the atomic theory is not always the model of matter. While the atomic theory is widely used and supported, there are other models, such as the quantum mechanical model, that provide a more detailed understanding of matter at the atomic and subatomic levels. These models build upon the atomic theory but also incorporate additional concepts from quantum mechanics.

How many different atomic numbers are there?

By atomic models I assume you mean how we say an atom works and is arranged. There have been three major atomic models in history: The plum-pudding model said that negatively-charged particles (the precursor to electrons) were suspended in a positively-charged "soup" (the plum pudding). Rutheford disproved this model with his experiments, which led to Niels Bohr inventing the Bohr model of the atom, which has electrons orbiting the nucleus in predefined orbits (called "orbitals"). Although we know that the Bohr model is incorrect, it is very close to the correct (quantum-mechanical) model, so that's what is taught in most elementary and high schools. Nowadays, only the third model is considered correct: the quantum mechanical model. It is based on Max Planck's quantum theory and involves electrons flying around in three-dimensional clouds (also called "orbitals"). The QM model is pretty complex but it's rather simple compared to string theory and other physics concepts.


Which models of the atom reflects the unpredictable motion of the electron?

Quantum mechanics explains the unpredictable nature of the electron (and of subatomic particles in general).

What is the difference between the previous models of the atom and the quantum mechanical model?

Previous models were physical models based on the motion of large object. The quantum mechhanical model is a matical model.


Why do scientist need models as opposed as directly observing electrons?
