Caloric theory said that heat is travelling from hot body to cold one in form of a fluid and this fluid is called as caloric , this is actually the problem because you know that heat is a form of energy where as the scientist presenting the theory says it is a fluid.

What is the definition of special relativity?

Special relativity is Albert Einstein's theory that there is no preferred frame of reference for physics, and all measurements depend upon the frame of reference from which they are made.


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.


What is the theory that marks the beginnings of modern physics?

It's the Quantum Theory.


How do you use Caloric in a sentence?

I took in 100 calories for breakfast and 200 calories for lunch so my caloric total so far is 300 calories. Caloric was the old theory of heat transfer prior to the modern idea of vibrating atoms.
