Physics is everywhere. It describes the world around us, from explaining the working and making possible the luxuries and conveniences inside our homes-- such as cordless phones, microwave ovens, and CD players-- to describing the motions of the galaxies in our universe. Physicists enjoy asking questions (and are hopefully able find the answers) about the world around us. Their studies range from the tiniest particles of matter to the largest objects in our universe.
