Physics is the natural science and the most fundamental of the experimental sciences that involves the study of universe from the smallest particle currently believed to be quarks to the vast distances between galaxies. More broadly, it is the general analysis of nature, conducted in order to understand how the universe behaves.
Physics also makes significant contributions through advances in new technologies that arise from theoretical breakthroughs. Physics is above all, a human activity, leading the way for the physicist’s ethical and moral accountability. Theory and experiment go hand in hand in Physics and help each other’s progress. Physics is exciting in many ways. To some people, the challenge in carrying out imaginative new experiments to unlock the secret of nature, to verify or refute theories, is thrilling.
