A Theoretical Physics Method is a scientific method that uses mathematical frameworks and abstract reasoning to understand and predict physical phenomena.
- AKA: Mathematical Physics Method, Theoretical Physics Approach, Formal Physics Method.
- Context:
- It can typically employ Mathematical Formalisms for physical descriptions.
- It can typically derive Physical Predictions from fundamental principles.
- It can typically construct Theoretical Models using abstract reasoning.
- It can often utilize Symmetry Principles for theory construction.
- It can often require Advanced Mathematics including differential geometry and group theory.
- It can often precede Experimental Verification by decades.
- It can range from being an Analytical Theoretical Physics Method to being a Computational Theoretical Physics Method, depending on its solution technique.
- It can range from being a Perturbative Theoretical Physics Method to being a Non-Perturbative Theoretical Physics Method, depending on its approximation strategy.
- It can range from being a Classical Theoretical Physics Method to being a Quantum Theoretical Physics Method, depending on its physical regime.
- It can range from being a Established Theoretical Physics Method to being a Speculative Theoretical Physics Method, depending on its empirical support.
