Why Physics?
If a stranger were to ask, “Why physics?” you might say: “Well, even if it doesn’t always have direct applications, it builds the tools that let us invent the things we once couldn’t even imagine — like GPS, which relies on general relativity.”
But the deeper value of physics isn’t always easy to put into words. It reveals itself in moments of quiet wonder — like staring at the ceiling at 3 a.m., haunted by the question of why anything exists at all. For those who’ve felt that weight, the urge to probe the laws of nature isn’t just curiosity — it’s a need to make sense of existence itself.
If unraveling the fabric of spacetime, probing the roots of consciousness, or tracing the hidden symmetries of reality doesn’t stir something in you - spiritually or intellectually - then maybe the question isn’t what the universe hides, but what within us has gone silent enough to no longer ask.
