Physics is a branch of science that studies matter and its motion as well as how it interacts with energy and forces. Physics is a huge subject as it studies the smallest elementary particles and atoms as well as the largest stars and the universe. Scientists who are experts in physics are called physicists.

Advances in physics often enable advances in new technologies. For example, advances in the understanding of electromagnetism, solid-state physics, and nuclear physics led directly to the development of new products that have dramatically transformed modern-day society, such as television, computers, domestic appliances, and nuclear weapons;advancesin thermodynamicsledtothedevelopmentof industrialization;andadvancesinmechanics inspired the development of calculus
