Physics is the most fundamental of the sciences, and if we wish to better understand the nature and behaviour of the Universe, it is perhaps the best place to start. This course introduces the basic topics of Physics, from the sub-microscopic scale of electrons and atoms, to the orbits of the planets and stars, to the grand wheeling of galaxies. It encompasses the work of Physicists like Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, Marie Curie and Tony Stark. If you’ve ever been curious about how the world works, you will hopefully find this course, typically well-regarded by students, interesting.
