Physics, a brief introduction
There are no static beliefs, there is no static truth, there is never a "100% sure": everything changes all the time
Long ago, the ancient civilizations raised the elementary questions of science, every culture had its own beliefs and chain of knowledge. Men have tried to solve the mysteries of the world, they tried to understand the behavior of matter, the secrets of space and the way our universe works.
The successive discoveries and experiments and theories that led to the improvement of human knowledge and to a better understanding of our universe is called science. Today we run a modern world due to the accomplishments made by science and its application in the real world.
Physics is the mother of all sciences, it deals with the behavior of everything that surrounds us. It is the science of matter, space, dimensions, time... We don't understand how things work, we observe their effects and try to explain them and create theories that match up with our observations and calculations.
Physics is a human art and a passion that evolves; its beauty reflects the work of hundreds of scientists who have worked and struggled to discover what we consider now nature facts. In a hundred years, scientists may prove some of our beliefs wrong and come up with new ways of understanding: there is no absolute truth. Science continuously thrives to explain the workings of our universe, hoping to one day unify the rules governing it in one single theory that applies in any place at any time at any scale and under any circumstance.
