This was accompanied by important experiments, the results for the new theories formed the basis of:

The term modern physics is relative. Meanwhile, some of the older theories of " modern physics " in some ways as restricted are valid, as were some of the classical theories of his time. The contemporary physics is based, unless it comes to elementary objects, the concept of field quanta and their interaction.
