Physics
Einstein. Newton. Hawking. Bohr. And you.
These are the people who dare to say that our world, full of strange phenomena and seemingly unpredictable processes, is explainable. Physicists investigate and articulate the laws that govern our universe -- from the largest scales of the entire cosmos, to the smallest subatomic particles, and everything in between.
