I believe you are talking about the classic physics, not modern.Prosenjit Basak wrote:The modern physics started with Newton.So in my opinion we can say Newton the father of physics.

Re: Father of Physics
Um....I think the father of physics is Archemedes . Because as far as I know in the Greek vs. Romans war he created the models and ideas of how to make weapons that are heavily related with formulas of physics .

Re: Father of Physics
Feynman wrote in one of his books that the most important idea in Physics is that of atoms. In that case Democritus, in Greece 500BC gets my vote as being the father of Physics, 'cos he invented atoms. (So did the Indian Buddhists & Jains, but their theories didn't lead to Physics as we know it).

Re: Father of Physics
I tend to think of Archemedes as the father of engineering rather than physics per se. But of course they influence each other - you can't do experiments without engineering them.
