WHAT IS PHYSICS? PHYSICS IS THE STUDY OF…

SPACE TIME MATTER ENERGY Link

PHYSICS: Trying to find the basic rules of the universe Trying to answer to the question: WHY? Playing or watching games is more fun when you know the rules Soccer has rules, Halo has rules Physicists try to understand the basic rules of the universe

Understanding the rules leads to new technologies, like…LASERS Laser video

MRI

GPS GPS video

WHAT DO PHYSICISTS DO? RESEARCH MAKE LASER COMPONENTS LOOK INSIDE CELLS LOOK OUT INTO SPACE AND..

…TRAVEL!

WITH A DEGREE IN PHYSICS YOU COULD BECOME A… TEACHER PHYSICIAN WALL STREET ANALYST ($$$) PHYSICIST

AT THE UTB/TSC DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS AND ASTRONOMY WE STUDY BIOPHYSICS NANOSCIENCE LASERS AND OPTICS THEORIES OF GRAVITY PULSAR ASTRONOMY ASTRONOMY AND ASTROPHYSICS MATERIAL SCIENCE AND…

…YOU COULD LOOK FOR GRAVITATIONAL WAVES

WHAT ARE THEY? Signals from space They are different than any other signals we receive. WHAT ARE THEY? Signals from space They are different than any other signals we receive.

HOW ARE THEY DIFFERENT FROM OTHER WAVES? LIGHT WAVES HOW ARE THEY DIFFERENT FROM OTHER WAVES?

HOW DO YOU KNOW WHEN A GRAVITATIONAL WAVE HAS PASSED??

HOW DO YOU SEE GRAVITATIONAL WAVES? LIGO, Hanford, WA LIGO, Livingston, LA North American Nanohertz Observatory

WHAT DOES THE UNIVERSE LOOK LIKE??

TRYING TO SEE THE “UNSEEN” UNIVERSE

WHATEVER YOU PLANS, BE SURE TO STUDY

"To restore America's competitiveness, we must recruit a new generation of science and technology leaders by investing in diversity.“ –President Barack Obama

WELCOME! WE HAVE 4-YEAR SCHOLARSHIPS AVAILABLE!!! –YOU EARN MONEY TO STUDY PHYSICS AND RESEARCH GOOD LUCK!
