Is IBDP physics for real? Its real life application and hacks
Often you might have heard your Mom asking your Dad or one of your senior students asking his Physics teacher “You said this – but what is the physics behind it?” As a result, you started scratching your head what’s going on – why everybody is talking of Physics!
You didn’t know yet what actually they were discussing and didn’t want to care more.
It’s like, when one of his students Sharon asked her physics teacher Halliday, when he was explaining some of the nuances of physics, “What has any of this got to do with my life?” and Halliday responded, “Sharon, this has everything to do with your life – this is physics.”
Now you might have somewhat understood that what these people are talking is the science of what, how, why or when about the things happening around us.
While our revered Scientists of early years have been practicing physics with all their brilliance, have been able to reason out and establish the laws of nature which have helped in shaping our everyday life, very similar things happened during the days of early mankind like Stone Age.
Only difference is that the Stone Age people didn’t know the science behind the things.
What every discovery or law in physics, right from early ages to the late twentieth century, aims to do is simple- as simple as telling us ‘how the real world works’. Here, the list of Physicists who revolutionized thoughts and discovered the hidden real life truth as a law can go on and on…
Taking a few examples like the Greek Physicist Archimedes on Buoyancy in B.C. era, the French Physicist Blaise Pascal on the Law of Hydrostatics and the British Mathematician-Physicist Issac Newton on Laws of Gravity and Motion about 400 years ago, followed by the British Physicist Ernest Rutherford on Nuclear Physics and the German Physicist Albert Einstein about the Theory of Relativity in the early twentieth century, followed by the German Physicist Max Plank on the Quantum Physics & the Danish Physicist Neil Bohr on the Nuclear Reactions during mid nineteenth century or the contribution of the American Physicist Richard Feynman on Quantum Mechanics –all have helped and will continue doing the same to mankind in various ways till the human race exists.
So we see, Physics is ubiquitous and can be so naturally perceived through daily life happenings.
