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

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
The "paradox" is only a conflict between reality and your feeling of what reality "ought to be."
Richard Feynman, The Feynman Lectures on Physics (1964) Volume III, p. 18-9
Physics
The physical doctrine of the atom has got into a state which is strongly suggestive of the epicycles of astronomy before Copernicus.
Alfred North Whitehead, Science and the Modern World (1925)
Physics
Physics and philosophy are at most a few thousand years old, but probably have lives of thousands of millions of years stretching away in front of them. They are only just beginning to get under way.
