Understanding Mainstream Physics

[Gjmdp]

I'm searching on google and I can't find out any definition or explanation of what it is. From other discussion, it appears to be some connection between Mathematics and Physics...
So I think you guys will know much better what it is.

It is all the physics that is currently accepted as valid or at least plausible by working physicists. Usually, if something is published in a reputable peer-reviewed journal, or if it is part of a reputable textbook in physics, then it is seen as mainstream physics.

 

[Demystifier]

This is physics practiced by majority of physicists.

So much thanks. So it's the same like Physics?

Yes. Generally when someone says "physics" they mean "mainstream physics". The extra qualifier is usually omitted except when we need to make a distinction between mainstream and non-mainstream (which is, loosely, stuff that has not proven its value and usefulness).
