Theoretical from "summary" of The Disordered Cosmos by Chanda Prescod-Weinstein
Theoretical physics is a field that seeks to explain the natural world through mathematical models and concepts that are grounded in empirical evidence. Theoretical physicists work to develop frameworks that can describe and predict the behavior of physical phenomena, from the smallest subatomic particles to the largest structures in the universe. Theoretical physics is a highly abstract and mathematical discipline, with researchers often working on problems that have no immediate practical applications. In the context of particle physics, theoretical work often involves developing new mathematical models to describe the behavior of fundamental particles and the forces that govern their interactions. These models are then used to make predictions that can be tested through experiments. Theoretical physicists also work to integrate new experimental results into existing theories, refining and expanding o...
