Abstract
The paper considers pictures of the world represented in the fundamental physical theories - the classical mechanics, electromagnetic theory, relativity, quantum mechanics, string theory, and the theory of loop quantum gravity. The author shows the laws which scientists use to develop physical models of the world and organizes these laws in the following way: 1) the unification which means an integration of physical categories in a single physical pattern; 2) the simplicity which requires minimizing the number of physical categories; 3) the continuity which means retaining and generalization of the knowledge obtained before; 4) the commentary which is a synthesis of antinomic descriptions of the object; 5) the explanation which means that the physical picture of the world is an explanatory description integrating facts.
