All Classical And Theoretical Physics

This group collects the Physics subcategory's members who are described in general terms, as a physicist or a theoretical or mathematical physicist, without a specific subfield keyword this subcategory's other groups match on: a large, genuinely mixed population spanning three and a half centuries of the discipline, from its classical founders through its twentieth century theorists to physicists working today. Because this population exceeds the subcategory's own hundred-member second-level threshold, it is split by era into three child groups below rather than left as one oversized group, and it reaches its own 126 members only through those three children, never directly.
