What is Physics?
“All science is either physics or stamp collecting.”
― Ernest Rutherford
Broadly, physics involves the study of everything in physical existence, from the smallest subatomic particles to the entire universe. Physicists try to develop conceptual and mathematical models that describe interactions between entities (both big and small) and that can be used to extend our understanding of how the universe works at different scales. Studying Physics gives a broad overview of the basic models, such as classical mechanics, electromagnetism, and Modern Physics, as well as introducing the computational and experimental skills used in working with them.
