What Is Physics?

Physics is the study of the natural world around us - from the very large, such as the Solar System, to the very small, such as the atom.

I made a concept map addressing the ideas we may approach while studying Physics.

                      
                    

As you can see above, the study of Physics is divided into 4 major topics which are General Physics, Thermal Physics, Light, Waves & Sound and Electricity & Magnetism. 

We must remember that the knowledge of Physics we have today is the result of work of MANY scientists over centuries. These scientists built and tested their ideas on matter and energy, and verified their ideas or theories by doing experiments. 

When we do experiments, it is crucial that we take measures to ensure reliable and accurate results. Accurate measurement is of utmost importance.
