From the fundamental particles such as quarks and leptons which go to make atoms, up to the vastness of galaxies and how the universe has evolved, Physics covers it all. Physics is the study of the natural world covering sizes from thousandths of millionths of metres up to billions of light years. Between these extremes you will find many topics that we use in our daily lives.
