Fundamental interaction and the strong interaction. Their magnitude and behaviour vary greatly, as described in the table below. Modern physics attempts to explain every observed physical phenomenon by these fundamental interactions. Moreover, reducing the number of different interaction types is seen as desirable. Two cases in point are the unification of: Both magnitude ("relative strength") and "range", as given in the table, are meaningful only within a rather complex theoretical framework. It should also be noted that the table below lists properties of a conceptual scheme that is still the subject of ongoing research. The modern (perturbative) quantum mechanical view of the
The Theoretical Minimum was published in 2017. This covers Special Relativity and Classical Field Theory Lectures in the remaining three courses, on are available on-line as video recordings. Further lecture courses in the Theoretical Minimum series have been delivered by Prof. Susskind, on and these are also available on-line as video recordings. The Theoretical Minimum The Theoretical Minimum: What You Need to Know to Start Doing Physics () is a popular science book by Leonard Susskind and George Hrabovsky. The book was initially published on January 29, 2013 by Basic Books. The book is a mathematical introduction to various theoretical physics concepts, such
