“Our science, measured against reality,
is primitive and childlike -- yet it is
the most precious thing we have.”
What is physics? What are its goals?
Physics is the study of all natural physical processes
Engineers transform the abstract understandings and discoveries of
science into functional systems -- this is the ultimate tribute to science
And it forms the basis for all physical sciences and engineering
But profound complexities are “in the details”.
That’s why there are so many other important and wonderful
physical sciences like astronomy, chemistry, biology, geology, etc.
