What is it?

Being a student of science, I have always wondered what would have happened if “Physics” as a faculty of science didn’t exist. Well, one thing for sure is that we wouldn’t have got the theory of relativity and Gravity, to name only two out of many, which have practically changed our views of the world as well as our “lives” itself. But, as I took my educational journey to a university and got the opportunity to learn “the subject” of Einstein and Newton in more details, I didn’t really need to wonder anymore.

Why do/did you like it?

I liked physics during my student life probably more than any other subjects. I liked it not only because I was good at it, but also because of my fond memories and experiences of this subject.

Your experience of this subject

Spending many, many hours of learning fundamental theories of physics in the classrooms together with even more hours at a physics lab, I have learnt to understand that physics probably and potentially is the most satisfying of all the main science subjects as this difficult subject tends to explain why and how things happen in this material world. Having learnt about circular motion, waves, gravity, energy, force, electricity and much more, as a student, I could certainly feel myself as being little “smarter” than others, who were not the students of “science”. Whether I was experimenting with Newton’s “law of motion” or “law of gravitation” in a lab, I always felt like I was a “scientist” in my own little lab.

And explain why it is/was your favourite subject.

I enjoyed learning this interesting subject mainly because I could actually engage myself on an intellectual level with not only the teachers but also with my fellow students. Besides, in a physics class, more often than not, I would be one of the few lucky students to be requested to the class board in order to explain some of the difficult topics of physics whether they were related to the laws of thermodynamics or quantum physics. And I loved being challenged by a very interesting branch of science that represented a complete purity of thoughts without having to worry about any religion, politics, human psychology or any other ambiguous human variables for that matter.
