To physicists, "modern physics" refer to all the discoveries in physics that have taken place since the start of the 20th century (i.e., since the 1900s. This also includes the new branches of physics which have arisen since then as well - string theory, quantum mechanics, cosmology, nuclear physics, atomic physics - to name a few. Astronomy (which is a science, unlike astrology, which has no basis in scientific fact) is as old as the oldest civilizations and is not considered 'modern physics.'

Macedonia is in Greece.{intire north Greece is the province of Macedonia(in proper Greek Mακεδονία)}.\n Do not confuse real macedonia in Greece with a small state that emerged from Yugoslavia. That small state) is called Republic of Makedonija or Fyrom (Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia) or Slav Macedonia. That small state instead of using its name its using the Greek name Macedonia or Makedonia trying desperately to link itself with the glory past of the Greek region (ancient Greek kingdom of Macedonia was the homeland of Alexander the Grate). That effort of course is not a problem! Everyone is entitle to link himself with any past he likes! It is totally acceptable! The problem is with the fact that the state of FYROM or Makedonija(pronounce as makedonitsa) is deliberately trying to prove that ancient Macedonia was not Greek and that real Macedonia in Greece should be returned to them since they use the same name! Remarkable isn't it!\nThe paranoia of that state is so incredible that although their language (makedonijian) is a Bulgarian dialect they refer to it as Macedonian. Although the last 50 years they were called Makedonijans or Slav Macedonians in recent years they refer to themselves only as Macedonians conveniently forgetting to say that they are Slavs. \nAnd if you want any proof that they are slavs here is what the first President of FYROM (Slav Macedonia), Kiro Gligorov said: “We are Slavs who came to this area in the sixth century ... we are not descendants of the ancient Macedonians" (Foreign Information Service Daily Report, Eastern Europe, February 26, 1992, p. 35). Also, Mr Gligorov declared: "We are Macedonians but we are Slav Macedonians. That's who we are! We have no connection to Alexander the Greek and his Macedonia… Our ancestors came here in the 5th and 6th century" (Toronto Star, March 15, 1992).

your grammar is better than most Americans on here, don't feel bad.\n\nI have friends here in the states who are Greek and they are warm and wonderful people.  As for people living in Greece, all I have heard is that they basically attack women in the street trying to sleep with them.

It refers not only to the geographical peninsula of modern Greece, but also to areas of Hellenic culture that were settled in ancient times by Greeks: Cyprus, the Aegean coast of Turkey (then known as Ionia), Sicily and southern Italy (known as Magna Graecia), and the scattered Greek settlements on the coasts of what are now Albania, Bulgaria, Egypt, Libya, southern France, southern Spain, Catalonia, Georgia, Romania, and Ukraine.\n\nThere are no fixed or universally agreed upon dates for the beginning or the end of the Ancient Greek period. In common usage it refers to all Greek history before the Roman Empire, but historians use the term more precisely. Some writers include the periods of the Greek-speaking Mycenaean civilization that collapsed about 1100 BC, though most would argue that the influential Minoan was so different from later Greek cultures that it should be classed separately.\n\nIn the modern Greek school-books, "ancient times" is a period of about 1000 years (from the catastrophe of Mycenae until the conquest of the country by the Romans) that is divided in four periods, based on styles of art as much as culture and politics. The historical line starts with Greek Dark Ages (1100–800 BC). In this period artists use geometrical schemes such as squares, circles, lines to decorate amphoras and other pottery. The archaic period (800–500 BC) represents those years when the artists made larger free-standing sculptures in stiff, hieratic poses with the dreamlike "archaic smile". In the classical years (500–323 BC) artists perfected the style that since has been taken as exemplary: "classical", such as the (Parthenon). In the Hellenistic years that followed the conquests of Alexander (323–146 BC), also known as Alexandrian, aspects of Hellenic civilization expanded to Egypt and Bactria.\n\nTraditionally, the Ancient Greek period was taken to begin with the date of the first Olympic Games in 776 BC, but many historians now extend the term back to about 1000 BC. The traditional date for the end of the Ancient Greek period is the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BC (The following period is classed Hellenistic) or the integration of Greece into the Roman Republic in 146 BC.\n\nThese dates are historians' conventions and some writers treat the Ancient Greek civilization as a continuum running until the advent of Christianity in the 3rd century.\n\nAncient Greece is considered by most historians to be the foundational culture of Western Civilization. Greek culture was a powerful influence in the Roman Empire, which carried a version of it to many parts of Europe. Ancient Greek civilization has been immensely influential on the language, politics, educational systems, philosophy, art and architecture of the modern world, particularly during the Renaissance in Western Europe and again during various neo-Classical revivals in 18th and 19th century Europe and The Americas.\n\n\nOrigins\nThe Greeks are believed to have migrated southward into the Balkan peninsula in several waves beginning in the late 3rd millennium BC, the last being the Dorian invasion. The period from 1600 BC to about 1100 BC is described in History of Mycenaean Greece known for the reign of King Agamemnon and the wars against Troy as narrated in the epics of Homer. The period from 1100 BC to the 8th century BC is a "dark age" from which no primary texts survive, and only scant archaeological evidenc

You speak about ancient Greece of course, because modern Greeks believe in Christianism (they are orthodox Cristians)\n\n\nGods in ancient Greeece (Olympians), are all part of a huge family, spanning multiple generations. The oldest of the gods were responsible for the creation of the world. \nIn many epic poems, the twelve Olympians are said to have appeared in person. The gods performed miracles, instructed people in various areas of practical knowledge, taught people methods of worship, rewarded good behavior and chastised immorality, and even had children with themselves or mortals.\nThe ancient Greeks imagined them as being very like humans  they also got married,  got angry and jealous, they were sometimes wise and good, but they were sometimes also foolish and full of tricks.\nThe Olympians are a group of 12 gods who ruled after the overthrow of the Titans. All the Olympians are related in some way. They are named after their dwelling place, Mount Olympus. The Olympian Gods are: Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Hestia, Hera, Ares, Athena, Apollo, Aphrodite, Hermes, Artemis, Hephaestus. \n\nThe ancient Greeks believed in gods and goddesses to help them explain the way the world and the universe worked.

Greece is a European Country. Europe is a continent. (the name Europe was taken from a girl in Greek Mythology!) \nContinents are Europe, Asia, Africa, Oceania, America. Have you ever seen the Olympic flag? every cycle means one continent. Olympic games born in ancient Greece. The first Olympic Games hosted by Greece too in 1896.\nHave you ever heard, Hercules, Alexander the Great, Plato, Socrates... all Greeks! \n\nYou can find anything here, we use EURO currency.

You must first move from your own native lands, and become an immigrant in Greece - 'a person who comes to a country where they were not born, in order to settle there'.\n...When the Greek government ratifies you, only then will you be classed as a 'migrant' in Greece - 'one who is habitually moving from place to place, especially in search of seasonal work'.

I know Ancient Greek and it is easier to read Modern Greek than to speak it or understand it spoken.  Even reading it is difficult, however.  There has been massive grammatical restructuring of the endings on words even though the basic spelling of the root word has generally remained stable.  But there is a lot of new vocabulary to deal with and a lot of words have changed their meanings over the last 2500 years.  The differences in pronunciation are quite major, especially in the vowels.  I cannot understand spoken Modern Greek.
