Physics • The WordPhysics is Taken from Ancient Greek: physis "nature“ • It is a natural science that involves the study of matter and its motion through space and time, along with related concepts such as energy and force. • More broadly, it is the general analysis of nature, conducted in order to understand how the universe behaves. • Physics is one of the oldest academic disciplines • New ideas in physics often explain the fundamental mechanisms of other sciences, while opening new avenues of research in areas such as mathematics and philosophy. • Physics also makes significant contributions through advances in new technologies that arise from theoretical breakthroughs. • It’s a Great Major Because its so Basic to all Sciences, and it Teaches You How to Think • For More Information, Visit Your Guide to Physics on the Web: For Children (http://www.physics.org/) Paul Schumann 7
