Can this title be shortened? It's pretty damn long dontcha think? --dave

Have you a proposition? -- looxix 23:57 Apr 4, 2003 (UTC)

how 'bout "Timeline of physics" or "Chronology of physics" or "History of Physics". Maybe it can't be generalized to all of physics, but is there another chronology of physics disciplines somewhere else on wikipedia? Like for solid state/condensed matter for example? BTW, looxix, how do you make the time show up after your sig? --dave

(1) Maybe it can't be generalized to all of physics?

Can be (I'm not really for not really against), but ...

(2) is there another chronology of physics disciplines.

Sure, in physics:

• Timeline of classical mechanics
• Timeline of electromagnetism and classical optics
• Timeline of gravitational physics and relativity
• Timeline of nuclear fusion
• Timeline of other background radiation fields
• Timeline of particle physics[?]
• Timeline of particle physics technology
• Timeline of physics[?]
• Timeline of quantum mechanics, molecular physics, atomic physics, nuclear physics, and particle physics
• Timeline of states of matter and phase transitions
• Timeline of thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, and random processes

and in astronomy/astrophysics:

• Timeline of artificial satellites and space probes
• Timeline of astronomical maps, catalogs, and surveys
• Timeline of black hole physics
• Timeline of cosmic microwave background astronomy
• Timeline of cosmology
• Timeline of galaxies, clusters of galaxies, and large-scale structure
• Timeline of knowledge about galaxies, clusters of galaxies, and large-scale structure
• Timeline of theories and knowledge on the interstellar and intergalactic medium
• Timeline of mathematics
• Timeline of other background radiation fields
• Timeline of planetary exploration
• Timeline of solar astronomy
• Timeline of solar system astronomy
• Timeline of stellar astronomy
• Timeline of telescopes, observatories, and observing technology
• Timeline of the Big Bang
• Timeline of the interstellar medium and intergalactic medium
• Timeline of the Universe
• Timeline of white dwarfs, neutron stars, and supernovae

and of course: List of timelines

(3) how do you make the time show up after your sig?

Thanks. Well, I guess the only solution then would be to separate this one into multiple articles, like

• Timeline of quantum mechanics, molecular physics, atomic physics
• Timeline of nuclear physics, and particle physics

something like that. I'm not sure if that division is good. And I think the time it would take to split it into two articles would not be worth it, just to make the title shorter. Unless the title is just changed to "Timeline of Atomic scale physics" or something like that...to encompass those disciples. dave 15:42 Apr 6, 2003 (UTC)
