The field of physics is extremely broad, and can include such diverse studies as [[quantum mechanics]] and [[theoretical physics]] to [[applied physics]] and [[optics]]. Modern physics is becoming increasingly specialized, where researchers tend to focus on a particular area rather than being "universalists" like [[Albert Einstein]] and [[Lev Landau]], who worked in multiple areas. | The field of physics is extremely broad, and can include such diverse studies as [[quantum mechanics]] and [[theoretical physics]] to [[applied physics]] and [[optics]].
