Rapid Physics History Test
As I was sitting on my desk, thinking on the near future of physics I found myself writing keywords for the decades future and past. Though it is incredibly incomplete and one (high energy) sided I put it here untouched for your thought provocation. I did not mean to give the discovery dates but the areas which were most lively and exciting those days. Take it as physicist psychology test where you should give the first thing you remember in physics for the decade. Feel free to attack and put your own versions. By the way, what is your guess for 2030's?
1890's Electron
1900's Special Relativity
1910's General Relativity
1920's Quantum Mechanics
1930's Relativistic Quantum Mechanics
1940's Nuclear Physics
1950's QED
1960's Electroweak Theory
1970's QCD
1980's Electroweak Experiments
1990's Neutrino Physics
2000's Cosmology
2010's LHC
2020's Gravitational Waves
2030's ???
I found a much more professional timeline here by APS.
