B Where Do Quantum Gravity and Cosomology Fit in Physics?

[Peter25samaha]

In which branch of physics we can put Quantum Gravity and Cosmology ?
-astrophysics ?
-relativity ?
-quantum mechanics ?
-classical mechanics?
Or other ?

What is this obsession with categorization? And why do you think two different subjects are necessarily in the same branch?

i know that those 2 subjects are not in the same branch but i want to leanr more about quantum gravity and more about cosmology (those are 2 different subjects) and first i have to determine those 2 in which branch they are

 

[Nugatory]

first i have to determine those 2 in which branch they are

Why?

 

[Peter25samaha]

Why?

i have some branches i want to do i want to know Cosmology and Quantum gravity in which one they are (i mean each one .. in which branch)

 

[berkeman]

So when you go to wikipedia and look up each of those subjects individually, what do you find? Surely you can do your categorization exercise on your own using wikipedia...

I think OP simply means which Physics Forum to use when posting questions about Quantum Gravity - particularly relating to Cosmology? Could be "Quantum Physics" or "Special and General Relativity" or "Cosmology". I'd try the latter and see what happens, if nothing, try the others.

Multiple/cross-posting is against the PF rules. If a member wants their thread moved, they need to click on the Report link in their post, and ask the Mentors to move the thread.

- that's what I meant. But since he may not have read the PF rules, thanks for clarifying

No i don't mean that . I mean in which branch we study cosmology and quantum gravity

I think this is where I came in.

If you want to study quantum gravity or cosmology... Then you study quantum gravity or cosmology. You will not be in a position to study either topic until have a solid grounding in all the foundational areas of physics: quantum mechanics, special and general relativity, classical mechanics, statistical mechanics. Thus, it's silly to ask which "branch" you need - you need them all.

Yeh i think this is good i need all of them . But electricity , i think that i don't need it in all of that quantum physics ,gravity , darke energy and matter , black holes . Should i learn electricity branch in these things ?

You absolutely need electricity and magnetism - it is an essential part of basic physics. Until you have learned the elementary stuff, which is to say everything that will be covered in a serious undergraduate program plus a year or so of additional study, you will not even be able to read a paper on, for example, quantum gravity.

A course on English Composition wouldn't hurt either

English is my third language its for that

Why do some people think that they can do a 100 meter sprint when they haven't even learned how to crawl?

This question should be clear in ANY level of English.

Zz.

- Translation web sites, like Google translate, are useful. When needing to post in another language, first I translate my English to that language; then, translate it back. Change garbled phrases, try again. When it comes back making sense I figure it's good to go. With a little practice you learn how to phrase things simply; and, reading the translation helps me pick up the other language.

- Also, mention you're not proficient in English, everybody will cut you some slack.

Why do some people think that they can do a 100 meter sprint when they haven't even learned how to crawl?

- Because they're young and foolish. Later on, you're still foolish, but at least you no longer want to do a 100 meter sprint

[EDIT] of course I'm using the generic "you": i.e. "one is still foolish". Just in case there's any misunderstanding
