=D
Don't the words spelled wrongly have red squiggles under them anyway?

AnYwAy... In my opinion, Physics is the study of fundamentals in the universe.
 
oops!
that is physics
Now what's your view
 
"Define" is spelled wrongly too.
 
A never ending adventure of asking how and why all that exists happens.

Its the ultimate adventure mmm after sex i guess.
 
In The Evolution of Physics Einstein characterized physics as the continuing attempt of the human mind to get its thinking about natural phenomena in line with what's actually happening in nature.

I thought that was spot on, and that's the definition I subscribe to.
