    Physics
In summary, the speaker is drawn to physics because it offers logical explanations for the mysteries of the universe and allows for multiple answers to be explored. They also enjoy the community and humor of fellow physicists, as well as the hands-on aspect of working in a lab. They may also have a rebellious and self-sufficient nature that is fulfilled by studying physics.

what is it about physics that grabs your attention, that makes you want to choose it as a career? FOr me, its how everything is logical, yet at the same time, there can be more than one answer to things (like in quantum and big bang theory, etc)

I love physics because it is the key to the door in which the anwsers to the many mysteries of our universe have been hidden.

I've thought about this for many, many years and have come to a tentative conclusion. I'm obviously stark, staring bonkers. That's why I lilke Physics.

Well, physics ain't my career, but I enjoy studying physics for the insights it gives us into the nature of this reality we find ourselves in.

physics is slowly (maybe to slowly) my career. I don't know exactly why. perhaps it's the feeling of being in a cult that one gets when making physics jokes about life with other god-like know-it-all physicists. Maybe it's my passion to take everything apart and build it again from scratch. Maybe it's my anarchic self-sufficient spirit. Maybe it's the adventure of playing in a lab. Maybe it's all I've been doing all my life. Maybe ...
 

1. Why did you choose to study physics?

I have always been fascinated by the natural world and how things work. Physics provides a fundamental understanding of the universe and the laws that govern it, which is why I was drawn to this field.

2. What do you find most interesting about physics?

The most interesting aspect of physics for me is the ability to use math and scientific methods to explain and predict natural phenomena. I also find it exciting to discover new theories and concepts that challenge our understanding of the world.

3. What real-world applications does physics have?

Physics has countless real-world applications, from technology and engineering to medicine and space exploration. For example, understanding the principles of mechanics is crucial for designing and building structures, vehicles, and machines. Medical imaging technologies such as MRI also rely on the principles of physics.

4. How does studying physics improve critical thinking skills?

Studying physics requires a lot of problem-solving and critical thinking. It involves breaking down complex problems into smaller, more manageable parts and using logical reasoning to reach a solution. These skills are valuable not only in the field of physics but also in many other areas of life.

5. What advice would you give to someone who wants to learn more about physics?

My advice would be to start with the basics and build a strong foundation in math and scientific principles. Be curious and ask questions, and don't be afraid to make mistakes. Also, try to apply what you learn in real-life situations to deepen your understanding of physics concepts.
