Physics is the sub-discipline of
science. It mainly speaks about the study of nature at every scale ranging from
microscale to macroscale. It verbalises the mathematical beauty of infinite
phenomenon in and around us from subatomic level to cosmos. Let me share some
of my conversation with Physics to you.
I was sitting on a chair. Physics
came to me. Told me some uncommon truths. It said I’m not just sitting idol
here doing nothing. I’m actually wrestling against earth’s gravity, and I’m not
still, I’m actually spinning at the rate of 1000 miles per hour. Not only that,
actually it is even faster - 67,000 miles per hour if you count rotation of the
earth around the sun. Or I just may not be here. I may be just the accidental
collision of two energy waves in one of the many many universes in a fraction
of a second.
After this conversation, Physics
turned out to be more of thinking to me through its lens. The world seems
beautiful there is an obsession for simplicity in physics and symmetry became
the key. It unites things together in its own algorithm of transformation. A
diamond is the same as a square. A circular motion is also an oscillation when
viewed from a different dimension. Mass is energy times space. Almost
everything is everything else except the rules of physics which seems to remain
the same/unchanged.
A circle is a circle, when
iterated over multiple time or million times give everything else. In fact,
everything is a circle if you think about it. At least in a hypothetical
two-dimensional world. Its the dream of every physicist to find the circle of
our complex universe. If it exists it will be the fundamental law, that
describes all physical phenomena like- deformations, stress, strain, bulk modulus, the
formation of matter etc
The concept that maintains its
integrity throughout, without any transformation. Perhaps you can say itsa
equation that is used to design this universe. Does it really exist? People
have been looking for this mysterious circle for centuries. Every time we think
we are close we are only mistaken, celestial bodies are not spheres. Gravity
does not fit in with other fundamental forces and quantum physics is famously
ambiguous. The optics are really a transparent opaque. The angle of incidence is the
key on which plenty of optical activities depends on.
It feels like every time I take
step back from physics, all its particles, and equations. I’m just totally
stuck with millions of questions or unsolved mysteries. About how nature enjoys
being totally imperfect and asymmetrical. Is there any simple, elegant,
fundamental law which explains everything? What is this schizophrenia
character, which held two totally opposite things to be one? But these are part
of us, part of this universe. How can we live without it?
