Before I proceed, you should know what physics is
about.
Physics
Physics is a great field that covers so many
important areas in science.
Physics can be seen as the scientific study of
matter and energy and the relationship between them, including the study of
heat, mechanics, electricity, light,
sound, and the structure of matter.
According to Wikipedia, physics is the natural science that studies matter,
its motion and behavior through space and time, and the related entities of
energy and force.
A degree in physics would help you understand the
basic principles that govern our physical world. A degree in physics will also
prepare you for interesting opportunities related to science and technology.
