Fizyka test

Test: check whether Physics is the right major for you!

1. Do you enjoy understanding the fundamental laws that govern how the universe behaves?

2. Are you comfortable with abstract mathematical reasoning and manipulating equations?

3. Do you like designing, running, and interpreting experiments to test hypotheses?

4. Are you persistent in solving complex, multi-step problems even when they take time?

5. Do you enjoy using computers or simulations to model physical systems?

6. Are you curious about phenomena beyond everyday experience (quantum, relativity, cosmology)?

7. Do you enjoy explaining technical concepts clearly to others or working in study groups?

8. Are you willing to engage deeply with derivations, proofs, and rigorous justification rather than just memorizing facts?

9. Do you enjoy connecting different areas of science and seeing how they fit into a coherent picture?

10. Are you excited by the idea of contributing to discovery or innovation, even if the payoff is long-term?

Definitions and quotes

Physics
Physics (from Ancient Greek: φυσική (ἐπιστήμη), translit. physikḗ (epistḗmē), lit. 'knowledge of nature', from φύσις phýsis "nature") is the natural science that studies matter and its motion and behavior through space and time and that studies the related entities of energy and force. Physics is one of the most fundamental scientific disciplines, and its main goal is to understand how the universe behaves.
Physics
I was an atheist, finding no reason to postulate the existence of any truths outside of mathematics, physics and chemistry. But then I went to medical school, and encountered life and death issues at the bedsides of my patients. Challenged by one of those patients, who asked "What do you believe, doctor?", I began searching for answers.
