Quantum mechanics is a physical science dealing with the behaviour of matter and energy on the scale of atoms and subatomic particles / waves.

Yes, urgently Without an extended evolutionary framework, the theory neglects key processes, say Kevin Laland and colleagues. Charles Darwin conceived of evolution by natural selection without knowing that genes exist. Now mainstream evolutionary theory has come to focus almost exclusively on genetic inheritance and processes that change gene frequencies.

Carl David Anderson discovered the positron on August 2, 1932, for which he won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1936. ... The positron was the first evidence of antimatter and was discovered when Anderson allowed cosmic rays to pass through a cloud chamber and a lead plate.

Physics, the study of matter and energy, is an ancient and broad field of science. The word 'physics' comes from the Greek 'knowledge of nature,' and in general, the field aims to analyze and understand the natural phenomena of the universe.

Reductionism is breaking down of a complex system in to simple constituent systems to so that laws of physics can be applied on these systems and we can understand the working of the complex system.

Classical physics is the study of motion, projectiles, pulleys, and the planets. It mainly deals with the movement of large objects (macroscopic) through space at a relatively low slow speeds.

Classical physics deals with the mechanics of an object’s motion in response to a force. Because of this, classical physics is often referred to simply as mechanics or kinematics.

Microscopic domain includes atomic,molecular and nuclear phenomena. It can be said as the study of matter.It includes the study of structure and configuration of atom,nucleus and the constitute particles of atom-electron,proton,neutron and interaction with elementary particles like electron,photon etc.

Quantum mechanics (QM -- also known as quantum physics, or quantum theory) is a branch of physics which deals with physical phenomena at nanoscopic scales where the action is on the order of the Planck constant. It departs from classical mechanics primarily at the quantum realm of atomic and subatomic length scales.

Quantitative measurement is central to the growth of physics because Laws of nature happen to be expressible in more precise mathematical equations.

Laws of nature as expressed in physics as laws and theories are often said to be universal. This means that, so far as we have been able to test them, they apply everywhere and at every time, past, present and future.

It is not practical to take into account all the complexities of a phenomenon in one go.

A good and scientific strategy is to focus first on the essential features, discover the basic principles and then introduce corrections to build a more refined theory of the phenomenon by removing its less significant aspects.
