This timeline lists significant discoveries in physics and the laws of nature, including experimental discoveries, theoretical proposals that were confirmed experimentally, and theories that have significantly influenced current thinking in modern physics. Such discoveries are often a multi-step, multi-person process.

The timeline begins at the Bronze Age, as it is difficult to give even estimates for the timing of events prior to this, such as of the discovery of counting, natural numbers and arithmetic. To avoid overlap with timeline of historic inventions , the timeline does not list examples of documentation for manufactured substances and devices unless ...
4th century BC - Aristotle invents the system of Aristotelian physics, which is later largely disproved; 4th century BC - Babylonian astronomers calculate Jupiter's position using the Trapezoidal rule [1] 260 BC - Archimedes works out the principle of the lever and connects buoyancy to weight
1995 The top quark is finally observed by a team at Fermilab after an 18-year search. [30] It has a mass much greater than had been previously expected — almost as great as a gold atom. 1995 The D0 and CDF experiments at the Fermilab Tevatron discover the top quark .
1925 – Ernst Ising presents the solution to the one-dimensional Ising model [6] 1928 – Felix Bloch applies quantum mechanics to electrons in crystal lattices, establishing the quantum theory of solids [7] 1929 – Paul Adrien Maurice Dirac [citation needed] and Werner Karl Heisenberg develop the quantum theory of ferromagnetism [8]
Graphical timelines provide a visual representation for the timespan of multiple events that have a particular duration, over the course of centuries or millennia. Timelines by year are timelines for one particular year that show the developments for that year within the topical area of that timeline.
Pais, Abraham ; Inward Bound – Of Matter & Forces in the Physical World, Oxford University Press (1986) ISBN 0-19-851997-4 Written by a former Einstein assistant at Princeton, this is a beautiful detailed history of modern fundamental physics, from 1895 (discovery of X-rays) to 1983 (discovery of vectors bosons at C.E.R.N.)
