Physics, with its diverse sub-divisions, is a broad subject area. A distinction is usually made between Experimental Physics and Theoretical Physics.
Experimental Physics examines empirical models and experiments to gain observations and data. On the other hand, Theoretical Physics is concerned with hypotheses and theories about the underlying connections.
These differences in methods and approaches are supplemented by the subject areas within Physics. Examples of these are Mechanics, Electrodynamics, Thermodynamics, the Theory of Relativity or also the relatively new areas of Quantum and Atomic Physics. There are also countless specialised areas, like for example, Physics for Medicine, and similar orientations.
Astronomy also includes various sub-topics like Classical Astronomy, Cosmology, and Astrophysics.
E-learning courses may not cover every specialist area yet, but many interesting courses are already available (and new ones are continuously being added). Digital learning is also gaining a foothold in these subject areas.
