Uma análise do surgimento da física moderna e suas implicações na sociedade contemporânea

Abstract

Modern Physics emerged at the beginning of the 20th century from the lack of understanding of some phenomena analyzed from the classical point of view. Consequently, it provided several changes with regard to classical concepts when trying to answer some questions of that time. Thus, this research aims to analyze the emergence of Modern Physics and its main implications in the scientific and technological context. To this end, we sought to present a brief history of Classical Physics, to identify the main implications of Modern Physics in society and to discuss the importance of teaching Modern Physics in basic high school education. A bibliographical research was then carried out with a focus on deepening in relation to the themes involved here. Finally, it was found that Modern Physics has several contributions that changed the way of seeing the physical world, making it necessary to introduce it in high school.
