I can’t explain in huge detail here. I would urge you to come to our open day in trinity where you can chat in more detail about what physics is (it’s in Dec)
physics is understanding of the universe; it’s the discovery of the ‘programming language’ the universe is written in and how that language can be used to explain ALL phenomena therein

It’s about finding a mathematical model which matches how the universe works. The strangest thing is that this appears to work – behind everything we see, from the biggest to the smallest, there is usually a very short equation which lets you understand it. Why the universe appears to follow such simple rules is one of the biggest questions in science.
