      It allows us to understand how everything works. From subatomic particles, to fluid flow, to star formation, and to the expansion of the universe.

      We can also use all this understanding to build tools that help us, like MRI scanners 🙂

      It tries to explain the world around us and why things happen

      Science in general is important as it teaches us more about where we came from, where we are going, our place in the universe, how to look after our resources, and ourselves, how to understand how things work and how to make them better etc.

      Physics is everything! From the very small to the very large, it helps us understand how the world is working, and as they say, knowledge is power. Physics feeds into all other sciences and it also changes the way you approach problems in everyday/professional life. It helps you be more methodical and more analytical, and gives you a good grounding in numbers and modelling.
