Expert summary
Physics is a natural science dealing with the study of energy and force and all the things derived from or associated with these variables. Because of physics' aim to describe why phenomena occur and how all these phenomena are interconnected, it is sometimes called the fundamental science. Physics is one of the oldest sciences as it has been used in architecture, mechanics, and astronomy since ancient times. However, along with other lines of inquiry, physics experienced a revolution following the Renaissance with the expanded understanding of mechanics, gravity, astrophysics, and electromagnetism. The next major revolution came in the 20th century in the arena of relativity and quantum theories which unified various fields of physics ... Read more
