PHYSICS! What is it and what comprises it?
Some of you have taken science classes in high school and college, but how many of you know what Physics is all about? Some do and some don't.. This video kind of provides you with a roadmap of sorts to understand the rudimentary components of Physics and it for that reason that I share it to a broad audience... I love Physics... I can't get enough of it even as my lifetime winds down...
I was enrolled in a College Scientific Program in High School, graduated in 1960, and I naively enrolled in a liberal arts program at a local college in Massachusetts. That lasted about 7 months and that was it... I wasn't doing what I wanted to do, and I joined the USAF and became an Airborne Navigation Systems Repairman/Tech...on RC121 Radar Planes on assignment by the then Air Defense Command... Although I didn't make the USAF a career, It led me to go back to College and advance my knowledge... Math, Science, some business. But it was mostly technology which was my forte and it was College Physics that I enjoyed most, and courses in Calculus and Differential Equations cemented most of my minds interest...
I worked for GTE Sylvania on a Minuteman Missile Launch Control Facility, went to Raytheon Company and worked on an FAA Enroute Air Traffic Control System as a Quality Control Engineer, then to Raytheon Data Systems where I became a marketing and program manager for the Airlines on Airline Reservation Systems and it goes on from there... My point is that I gravitated to all those positions because of my love for PHYSICS and MATHMATICS...
This video kind of puts Physics in a visual context of what Physics actually includes... I hope you find it as fascinating as I did... I had never seen Physics and all its component pieces put together in one simplified "MAP"... Enjoy! As usual, please watch FULL SCREEN WITH SOUND APPROPRIATE...
