Modern Physics -- What's the Deal?
Until recently, I had not heard of things such as QM or relativity. I had always thought of things using the Bohr (right?) model taught to me last year in physical science and, well, throughout my public schooling career.
What is the current state of physics? Which theories are thought to be most correct? Why isn't QM being introduced or even mentioned in high schools (outside of classes like AP Physics)?
What I'm looking for is the "big picture" -- an overview of everything that's happening and which theories are dominant.
Thank you.
