| - | <note tip>This is a "general" roadmap, which means it's not very detailed. For more details on how to learn the various subjects, have a look at the more specific roadmaps, listed [[:roadmaps|here]]. </note> | ||
| - | The idea of this roadmap is, in some sense, to turn the [[roadmaps:traditional|traditional roadmap]] upside down. Instead of starting with only approximately correct theories (Classical mechanics, Classical electrodynamics) and then slowly moving toward the more correct ones (Quantum Mechanics, Quantum Field Theory), here we start with the best theories of nature that we have. | + | The idea of this roadmap is, in some sense, to turn the [[resources:roadmaps:traditional|traditional roadmap]] upside down.

| - | The modern theories can be derived straight-forwardly from the principles of special relativity and using symmetry arguments. The older classical theories can then be understood as approximations of the modern theories. | + | The modern theories can be derived straight-forwardly from the principles of special relativity and using [[basic_tools:symmetry|symmetry arguments]].

| One advantage of this approach is that less time is spent on only approximately correct theories, and more time on the best theories of nature that we have. In addition, this approach shows the connection between the various theories clearer than the traditional approach. | One advantage of this approach is that less time is spent on only approximately correct theories, and more time on the best theories of nature that we have.
