VARIOUS BRANCHES OF CONTEMPORARY THEORETICAL PHYSICS ARE CLOSELY LINKED WITH EACH OTHER

物理学是自然科学中研究最为深入、最有基本意义的一个学科,它能够由少数基本原理和定律出发统一地解释广泛的自然现象。这些基本原理和定律以及它们的重要应用是理论物理学的主要内容。一旦在物理实验中发现了新的现象和新的运动形态,不能用已知的原理和定律来解释时,理论物理研究的任务就是探索新的基本原理和定律来修改和发展物理学。因此,理论物理学不是各物理学分支的理论部分的简单组合,而是其中最基本。

Theoretical Physics as a branch of science of the most fundamental nature has a special position in natural science. Important progresses in this field have profound influences in other branchs of fundamental science and high technology. The development of theoretical physics has reached a level in which a vast number of known phenomena in nature can be explained, at least in principle, starting from a few basic principles and laws of physics. Theoretical physicists are continuousely exploring new basic principles and laws to develop physics under the challenges of new phenomena and new states of matter observed in experiments. Due to the unity of underlying basics principles and laws, various branches of theoretical physics are closely linked with each other. The overlapping of research fields, borrowing physical ideas and mathematical methods of treatment from each other and changing from one field to another frequently occur between researchers in different branches of theoretical physics. Important progress often emerge in these processes of exchanges. It is a good policy to promote such exchanges and to support theoretical physics as a whole.
