Why Study Physics?Physics is the scientific study of the material universe at its most fundamental level. A physicist might study the inner workings of atoms and nuclei, the size and age of the universe, the behavior of high-temperature superconductors, or the life cycles of stars, from their formation out of interstellar gases to their end-states as pulsars or black holes. Physicists use high-energy accelerators to search for quarks; they design new laser systems for applications in medicine
