Physics

Physics seeks to understand the very basic concepts of force, energy, mass and charge. It is a broad and deep subject split into theoretical and experimental branches.

Theoretical physics deals with the inquiry and formulation of new theories while experimental physics tests and analyzes these or previously existing theories.

Physics relies extensively on sophisticated mathematics to provide its framework of study.  The study of physics has lead to such technological advances as nuclear power, lasers and solid-state electronics.
