Why do people study physics?

"When in doubt, always look to physics."

I said that. Yes, me. Keep a note of it, as those are words that will go into History textbooks. And, on the covers of Physics textbooks. The future generations will now be able to solve the copious mysteries of the universe as I, have finally bestowed a beacon of light into the direction in which they require to proceed.

Discombobulated?
Fret not. Grab a tub of pop corn while I explain.

What do humans, like all other savage beings, strive to achieve in the course of their existence?  Two things:
1. To survive and
2. To perpetuate their species.

What do they need to accomplish the above?
Food, clothing, shelter and a mate (or multiple mates, but more on that later).

Now, we don't live in the wild, so all it takes is being rich to get the former three (maybe even the fourth one, but.. later) as one just needs to indulge in capitalism to attain them. But a mate, or as some may call "the loves of their lives", are not as easily acquired. One has to put up with feelings, emotions, promises, tantrums and all that good stuff. More often than not, even a whole lot of confusion as to what is happening.

As I state this, balancing on the boats of the Darwin-Freud theories, I would like to take you back to where it all began - Physics. Yay!

Ever since we have known the beautiful world of Physics, we were told of the two most important fundamental quantities that is the basis for the presence of this cosmos. Time and space.
Weighty matters of mass and hot-ness aside, let us look deeper into these two fundamental quantities. During the courting or post-successful-courting phase, one is likely to encounter either or both of these phrases.

"I think what we have is special, but.. I need some more time."
"I think you're great but.. it's me. I need more space."

You see how it all goes back to Physics? You see?
So what do you do when you face this situation? Get them together and make a continuum. #Chandler-reference

Honestly, it's not like you materially have either of these things for you to give. And, you're frustrated because you don't know what to do. Back off? Then you don't "love" them anymore. Stay on close? Then you're not giving them what they asked for. Find the balance between both and hang on to dear life? Then it gets too perfect and predictable and there would be "no spice".

So what do you do?

The answer lies, again, in Physics.
Get that fat Physics text book out of the closet and shove it into their mouth, and we are all good to go.

Glad I could help.
