Classical physics

The theory of classical physics, also known as Newtonian physics, was formulated by the scientist Isaac Newton in the sixteenth century. It dictates that the universe is a continuum, and that quantum discretness should be intolerated. In the early twentieth century, classical physics was refuted by Einstein's theory of General Relativity as well as the theory of quantum mechanics. Modern scientists such as Samantha Carter believe that classical physics is a good introduction to nature but that quantum physics has more merit.
