| Nov 13, 2014 at 18:15 | comment | added | Danu | Your request is unreasonable, it's as simple as that. Your map analogy fails miserably because maps are not complicated to the point where you'd have to study 10+ years to understand what even ONE of the countries really looks like (on the map). Do you understand what we're getting at? | |
| Nov 13, 2014 at 18:13 | comment | added | Kyle Kanos | @Bryan: But if someone weren't asking for simply a map, but information on the demographics and resources of the nations in the world, a geography textbook would be the best gesture. Here, you are not simply asking for a map of physics, you are asking for a detailed layout of the differing subsets of physics. Therefore, a textbook is your best bet. | |
| Nov 13, 2014 at 18:11 | comment | added | Bryan | @KyleKanos: I'm hoping for a specific technical resource to be used as a reference. If someone asked for a map of the world, you wouldn't hand them a geography textbook. | |
| Nov 13, 2014 at 18:05 | comment | added | Bryan | @ACuriousMind: I'm looking for a map of the subsets of physics, not a map of THE physics. | |

| Nov 13, 2014 at 17:31 | comment | added | ACuriousMind♦ | There are no "equations of physics". The order in which one would say things are more "fundamental" and more "derived" is not the order in which one should learn them, and often the more "fundamental" things are not needed at all for the "coarser" stuff. It is also heavily opinion-based what "most fundamental" even means. Do you think that if there were such a resource as you describe, there would still be hundreds upon hundreds of books on tiny subsets of physics? | |
