Physics

What is matter made of? Why does an electric heater get hot? How do buildings remain standing? What is the origin of the universe? What causes a rainbow? How does a musical instrument work? Why is the night sky dark?

These and many more are the kinds of questions asked by those who study Physics. Many are very BIG questions, but there are many amazingly simple and beautiful patterns that become clear at all levels of study, from the third form through to the upper sixth form.
