Early Beginnings in Ancient Greece

Physics, as a field of study, began in ancient times when philosophers like Aristotle and Archimedes tried to understand the natural world. They asked questions about motion, matter, and the heavens. Although their ideas were not always correct, they laid the groundwork for future discoveries.

The Scientific Revolution and The Rise of Electromagnetism

The Scientific Revolution and The Rise of Electromagnetism

In the 16th and 17th centuries, physics took a new direction. Scientists like Galileo Galilei used experiments to test theories. Isaac Newton then developed the laws of motion and gravity, forming the basis of classical mechanics. This period is often called the birth of modern science.

In the 19th century, physicists such as Michael Faraday and James Clerk Maxwell studied electricity and magnetism. Maxwell's equations showed that light is an electromagnetic wave, uniting two forces into one theory and changing the way people understood energy and matter.

The Quantum and Relativity Revolutions

The 20th century brought two major revolutions. Albert Einstein developed the theory of relativity, changing our understanding of time and space. At the same time, scientists like Max Planck and Niels Bohr built quantum mechanics, which explains the behavior of tiny particles like electrons and photons.

Today, physics explores everything from the tiniest particles in the universe to the largest galaxies. Fields like particle physics, astrophysics, and quantum computing continue to grow. Physicists now search for a “theory of everything” that can unite all forces of nature in one framework.

Note from Curator

Because Nick recently asked about physics, I plan to guide him through a learning progression that starts with the fundamental principles of the subject and expands into its historical development and real-world applications.

I want each article to build on the last, ensuring he gains a well-rounded understanding. My focus will be on delivering clear, engaging content that stimulates Nick's curiosity and encourages him to explore more complex aspects of the topic.
