    This document outlines the structure of physics based on speed and size scales. It divides physics into classical mechanics, special relativity, quantum mechanics, and relativistic quantum mechanics based on whether the speed is low or high and the size is large or small. It then lists specific theories and scientists that apply within each domain from atomic to quantum field theory scales.
