Physics

Study the fundamental processes of nature, including motion, light, heat, and matter


About Us

Physics is the study of the fundamental processes of nature, including motion, light, heat, and matter. Physics employs theoretical models involving force, momentum, energy, fields, waves, and particles to describe nature and through mathematics formulate precisely testable, quantitative predictions. Physics is an experimental science where all theories are subject to independently repeated, quantitative verification based on data from carefully designed experiments.
