Theoretical Physics
Theoretical Physics: a branch of physics that employs mathematical models and abstractions of physical objects and systems to rationalize, explain and predict natural phenomena. This can involve both providing models for understanding empirical results or constructing self-logical theories for explain phenomena beyond current experiments. The advancement of science generally depends on the interplay between experimental studies and theory. Sir Isaac Newton was the first theoretical physicist, although in his own time his profession was called "natural philosophy".
