Not only is the Universe stranger than we think, it is stranger than we can think.
Werner Heisenberg
Physics is the language through which we communicate with the Universe. Truly, Physics, as a discipline, serves as a bridge that connects human beings to the enigmatic, complex, and awe-inspiring Universe in which we reside. Whether it’s the motion of a merry-go-round or planets, the behavior of subatomic particles or a rotating top, Physics offers a coherent framework to decipher the intricacies of everything. As we persist in pushing the boundaries of scientific and technological frontiers, it is imperative to acknowledge that physics remains our most formidable instrument in unraveling the Universe’s concealed enigmas.
