Physics ExperimentTake a look around – you just observed physics in action! Physics is the study of matter and energy and the fundamental interactions that govern all of the physical world around us. From the smallest subatomic particles to the grand design of the entire universe, students of physics draw inspiration for study. Because physics focuses on fundamental principles, it provides an important background for study in astronomy, biology, chemistry, geology, and engineering. We are all naturally curious about the world around us and physics can provide a way of thinking that enhances our appreciation of the amazing universe we live in. Whether your interest is in black holes, gravitational waves, the structure of the entire universe; the myriad ways that atoms combine and interact in chemical reactions; the structure and function of biological systems; the use of natural resources, climate, and environmental concern for the earth; or the technology driving the electronics of our information age and the development and production of energy sources to power industry – studying physics will give you the needed insight and understanding of the fundamental principles governing all the world around us. Come join our study of physics and learn to see everything around you with new eyes!!
