 INTRODUCTION:
The Nature of Physics and
Science

Galaxies are as immense as atoms are small.Yet the same laws of physics describe both, and all
the rest of nature—an indication of the underlying unity in the universe. The laws of physics are
surprisingly 8few in number, implying an underlying simplicity to nature’s apparent complexity.

Learning Objectives
 Physics: An introduction
 Explain the difference between a principle and a
law
 Explain the difference between a model and a
theory
