2I don't believe there are any. Its known that relativity is incomplete on small distance scales, and quantum mechanics is incomplete at high energy levels. Unifying these is the search for quantum gravity, and it is ongoing. – Cort Ammon Jun 20 '17 at 04:13

To paraphrase Feynman: The outline of the basic atomic model. You should get to most areas of physics from there, eventually. – Jun 20 '17 at 08:31

How about the minimum set of hypotheses nowadays physical theory is based on? I think there should be one which could deduce the "known" physics at present. – Junbo Jun 20 '17 at 13:19
