In a nutshell, physics is the study of why things do what they do. And because everything we see (or don’t see) around us is either matter or energy, it stands to reason that everything is physics.

If science were the body, then physics is the soul. A physicist, therefore, is a scientific soul-searcher—an explorer, if you will. The prime question that these guys concern themselves with is, “How does it work?”

The beauty of physics lies not just in its indestructible ties with truth, but also in the sheer enormity of its scope. Its ambit extends from the subatomic to the atomic to the molecular to the material to the terrestrial to the aerial to the planetary to the interstellar to the galactic to the intergalactic to the universal and beyond.

The following video might put things in perspective.

Physics is a search for patterns in the universe. It is an attempt to understand the laws that govern it. And at the heart of this enduring quest that has, since time immemorial, engaged the greatest minds in human history, is curiosity. Therein lies the magic of physics. Every scientific discovery that has changed the world has started out as a simple question.

Physics is the quest for simplicity in a seemingly complex and mysterious universe; a way of finding order in chaos. It is the lens through which we see the universe, a place where the inconceivable happens all the time.

Join us* in looking through this lens; in our pursuit of truth and beauty, Discover Physics. Discover the universe.
