How can you claim that theophysics is a branch of physics. Physics deals with science and is based on experiments and observation. That is something that a religion can never be.
Physics tries to decribe the world that is seen by models whereas theology make models and then incoorperate what is seen in those if it fits. This is totally opposite ways to describe the world and they can not be reconciled. Theophysics(if it is anything) can only be a form of thelogy and should therefore be dropped from this template.

I am removing "Optomechanics" from the list. It's not a physics sub-field but a manufacturing or engineering topic. Jason Quinn (talk) 22:42, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
Considering that light is an electromagnetic wave, and that the core of physical optics is the electromagnetic theory, shouldn't Optics and its sub-branches be grouped alongside Electromagnetism? --190.199.44.180 (talk) 14:34, 29 November 2016 (UTC)
Honestly, I'm not a big fan of the newer version of the template. It omits several fields of physics that were in the original (such as acoustics and accelerator physics). Was this change even discussed somewhere? 'Cause it certainly wasn't in this very talk page. =/ --186.185.83.80 (talk) 04:44, 23 July 2018 (UTC)
This template keeps getting bigger. It's supposed to be "branches of physics", not "every topic studied in physics". How about pruning it back to something like the following:--Srleffler (talk) 21:51, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
Or, even more concise:
I agree. The second shorter version above is sufficient. Bduke (talk) 22:27, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
Why is classical electromagnetism listed instead of electromagnetism? The former is only a specific field that studies the classical formulation of electromagnetic theory, while the latter is broader and also includes relativistic electromagnetism, network analysis and even connections with particle physics. Am I allowed to do the replacement in the template? --206.62.162.123 (talk) 16:40, 27 November 2021 (UTC)
