Cyrus Gayer Mrs. Hofmeister English 9 (Pre AP) 3rd Period November 19th, 2021 The Career of Physics This is the study of everything people know and how to solve unknown questions, well then this is the study for you, the study of physics. This career is about finding out new things in the universe or solving old ones that have not ever been solved. Although there are benefits and drawbacks to physics it is a rewarding career because you get to have a greater understanding of the universe, it has a great prospect, it has a great demand, it’ll make a high salary, and you’ll have a Ph.D. as well. This career can be traced back to Aristotle, but it was considered an actual career and involved math back with Galileo. It started because People wondered why things happened the way they did.says, “The origins of physics can be traced to Aristotle, who wrote at a time when physics was considered a philosophical science. It wasn’t until 1,000 years later, with the work of Galileo, that physics was acknowledged to be hard mathematical science. Galileo’s discoveries in physics, the fact that matter of varying weights will always fall at the same speed, for instance, have earned him the label of “first modern scientist.” Since then, physics has progressed rapidly, with many breakthroughs, such as the light bulb and the motion picture, still baffling to many people yet crucial to daily life. Physicists agree that there is plenty of room for the field to grow as discoveries are made concerning nuclear energy,
communications, the ocean, and space. Unfortunately, the growth rate for this career is expected to be slower than average soon due to cuts in government funding, which will affect the field substantially. Eighty percent of employed physicists work for universities or the government. But as one prominent physicist consoles himself, if you have a degree in physics, you have something very few people have.” It has changed and grown into what it is today because of the advancement after World War II.says, “After World War II, physics became a substantial driver of science and technological progress, permitting the application of mathematics to practical problems and leading to engineering breakthroughs that have improved society in many aspects, from the laser to the microwave oven. While physics made up only around 8 percent of the scientific literature in 1910 since the 1960s its fraction has increased to 22 percent, of which 12 percent is interdisciplinary physics.” People in this career search for answers to questions in the universe.
