Course summary

Physics is one of the oldest academic disciplines and is the most basic and fundamental science. Physics encompasses the study of the universe from the largest galaxies to the smallest subatomic particles. It explores questions like How did the universe begin? How will it end? What is a black hole? Is time travel possible? It forms the basis of most modern technologies and holds the future to global well-being. If you have an enquiring mind, always asking why things happen, then Physics will help you find the answers.
