What is Physics?

Mr. Anderson introduces physics, tracing its roots from ancient times to the Scientific Revolution. He discusses Galileo's contributions to mechanics and pendulums, and explains Newton's three laws of motion. The video contrasts classical mechanics with modern physics, highlighting the limitations of Newtonian physics at atomic and high-speed levels. It also covers the broad scope of physics, including thermodynamics, electromagnetism, and quantum theory, emphasizing physics as a tool to understand the world.
