Introduction to Physics

The video explores fundamental questions about existence and reality, emphasizing the role of physics as a foundational science. It highlights the interconnection between physics, chemistry, and biology, and the importance of mathematics in explaining physical phenomena. The video introduces basic physics concepts and discusses historical figures like Newton, Planck, and Einstein. It concludes with philosophical reflections on the nature of reality and the pursuit of knowledge.

What fundamental questions does physics attempt to answer?

• What is the best way to travel

• How to cook a meal

• Why am I here and what is the nature of reality

• How to build a computer

How is chemistry related to physics?

• Chemistry is based on physics interactions

• Chemistry is the study of plants

• Chemistry is unrelated to physics

• Chemistry is a subset of biology

What is the relationship between biology and physics?

• Biology is a branch of physics

• Biology and physics are the same

• Biology is based on chemistry, which is based on physics

• Biology is independent of physics

Which of the following is a basic concept in physics?
