La distinction entre physique expérimentale et physique théorique reflète tout d'abord celle des différentes étapes de la découverte, l'expérience intervenant dans l'établissement des données et la vérification, la théorie prenant en charge la création de l'hypothèse et la déduction de ses conséquences. Cette distinction correspond surtout à une spécialisation des physiciens, qui semble exigée à la fois par la complexité des techniques instrumentales. 2, record 3, French, - physique%20th%C3%A9orique
