What Are the Essential Concepts Every Physicist Should Know?

[iknowsigularity]

I've been into physics for years now but no matter how much a study, i find that i always lack basic knowledge that others seem to have. I was wondering could someone provide me (if possible) with a list of fundamental concepts every physicist should know? i imagine the list might be to long or infinite but any sort of footing would help. This is my first post so please excuse me if it is to general.

The Theoretical Minimum: What You Need to Know to Start Doing Physics (ISBN 0-465-02811-X) is a 2013 popular science book by Leonard Susskind and https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=George_Hrabovsky&action=edit&redlink=1 . The book is a mathematical introduction to various theoretical physics concepts, such as Lagrangian mechanics, principle of least action, Poisson brackets, and electromagnetism. It is the first book in a series called The Theoretical Minimum, the second of which is https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Quantum_Mechanics:_The_Theoretical_Minimum&action=edit&redlink=1 .
