- Thinking about physics? Here are 3 reasons (and a bonus mini 4th reason) why you should study this wonderful subject!
Hey everyone, today we're looking at PRACTICAL reasons to study physics, whether that's at high school level, or all the way through to a degree and a PhD.
Of course, studying physics gives you a deep insight into the workings of the universe - but this is a fairly abstract reason to learn the subject. Instead, I wanted to give you some practical reasons to spend time messing around with equations and scientific equipment!
0:00 - Overview
2:33 - Analytical Skills (get real good at mathematics)
6:44 - Understanding the Scientific Method (thinking critically and fact-checking people's arguments)
20:31 - Computational Physics (learn how to code as part of an education in physics!)
25:01 - Bonus: Job Prospects (many jobs in many different quantitative fields)
The point I'm trying to make in this video is that studying physics allows you to learn a large range of highly useful skills. Yes, you could pick up these skills individually elsewhere, but I believe that physics gives you the chance of learning a little bit of each of them. It makes you a well-rounded person (but then, I am biased aren't I?)
Analytical Skills - any bit of mathematics that can be applied to our universe will be in some way studied by a physicist.
Understanding the Scientific Method - you will also get a deep understanding of how science works, which will give you a framework to fact-check anybody that may tell you anything that sounds wrong to you. I apply this skill in my day-to-day life all the time!
Computational Physics - programming now comes built in to physics degrees. This is because we can use programming to simulate experiments that we don't yet have the time, money, or knowledge to conduct in real life.
Job Prospects - Aside from going into research and teaching, there are a large number of quantitative fields that look favourably upon physicists (such as data science, investment banking, and lots more).
If you enjoyed this video then please subscribe for more fun physics content! I like to explain fairly advanced physics concepts, but without needing to have a physics degree to understand them!

I feel pity for those people who thinks learning science and math is waste of time.
@Harsh Chaudhary * ? ? ? ? ? *
@Harsh Chaudhary ?? So most of us are 😂😂
well hate them who dont study physics and math
xd..
@Creative Tinkering you are right but the problem that they arent capable of studying these things so they hate upon them and make people hate and think that maths is just a torture senseless unpractical but the fact is MATHS AND PHYSICS ARE THE MOST LOGICAL, INTELLECTUAL CREATIVE AND PURE SUBJECTS
@Creative Tinkering agreed with your points but there is one more thing its shown that math is abstract in nature and thought u just need it to do 1+1 and calculations but its not true math in reality its such a beauty the logics and completeness and then applied in physics its just great but people think what graphs would help em with but the fact math's each thing is a defining and dynamic world thing but whatever people like you exists still so we have faith in its future
When u able to apply calculus in physics your confidence is in another level
Nice account picture
I am good at calcus but physics is not strong
Exactly 😌
@@vikustorm3411 same
Hmm
I wanna say that studying physics is the reason why my inner curiosity hasn't died yet ... Everytime I understand a concept it never fails to blow my mind .... And I think child like curiosity is something that allows you to look at the world in the most amazing perspective🤩
Reading this makes me so happy
@VasiL don't worry bro it takes some time and interest in physics.
For those who love physics I would say that watch videos on quantum mechanics , dark matter , standard model theory , quantum computing and schrodinger's cat theory.
Yesss same I feel bad for the people that haven't seen the beauties of this subject.
@@sarujanrupan4831 VERY TRUE
And for these reasons and many more I'm currently on my first year of physics ;)
and I'm in my second year lol!
I'm in first year too😄😄😄
I am about to get into one😁
@@shubhodeepde3927 all the best bro
I wanted to study physics but my parents did not allow so I am in engineering :"")
I play guitar, learn physics and learn math(a lot), and a software developer.
Until recently nobody wanted anything but some webforms and webservices.
Now we have data science hype, and math skills are finally really useful.
I hope to live up to a place in my life, where I will do physics at last.
Thank you Parth for you videos! Live long and prosper!
Datascience is overrated
@@theproofessayist8441 that's why I wrote 'hype'. It is just another set of engineering techniques. We are just adapting to growing compute capabilities. But still. It does have huge impact.
@@theproofessayist8441 well those salary and job benefits arent overhyped
@@theproofessayist8441 Facts
Great Video! You forgot one point tho... Let's just call it the "Zeroth" point:
One of the reasons that you should study Physics is your intrinsic love for the subject!
Golden point 🔥
very true all that matters ur internal satisfaction..
You should study physics so that you can enjoy Parth's videos
I'm am a physics student and I also play badminton. It really helps when you understand the mechanics of the game.
Tell me the mechanics ?
@@callofghoul9835 Lagrange go brrrrrr
@@callofghoul9835 projectile motion with air resistance. It's really not something that you can write in a UA-cam comment. You can look it up if you're interested. It requires a basic knowledge of differential equations.
@@segator489 yeah lagrangian mechanics as well.
@@shayanmoosavi9139 I'm a physics student. I knew it would be related to projectile motions. If you hit the shuttle with badminton at a 45° inclined angle then it will go 4 times the height from its initial position while moving with greater velocity. Which puts you at advantage.
My basic knowledge of physics, chemistry and electronics (mostly self taught) was instrumental in me getting a very good job as an equipment maintenance technician in the semiconductor industry. My ability to understand concepts like absolute 0 temperature, kelvin scale temperature, vacuum measurements, etc. impressed my future boss so much he hired me even though i had no experience and nothing but a few college courses on my resume. At the end of my 20 year career, i was making more than any of my friends that had a college degree.
And? It's great that you've learned a lot of things by your own. I'm also very happy for you being successful. That doesn't mean that going to college is bad. That doesn't mean that you _should_ actually see what people have investigated about the things you've learned or be doing. Maybe the formalization of those pros help you to develop an even better job. Moral of the story? Good for you, I'm happy for you being successfull. Don't compare to other, specially 20 years later and learn the things you are weak at.
@@pa_u_los And, my point was that physics can help you even if you do not have a degree. But your reply makes me think that you should go to college and take a reading comprehension class, cuz you do not seem to be able to figure out how to read on your own.
Hello, what books did you find most useful and enjoyable when teaching yourself these subjects? Would you mind sharing your book list? :)
@@krystalA5379 I read magazines (like popular science, made projects (like a heathkit color tv i made with my dad), at work, i constantly grilled my engineers and since wikipeadia came out, i have been one of it's biggest readers (right now i am learning biology, agronomy, botany and what ever interests me at the time.)
@@richardruss7481 oh ok cool, thanks for sharing!
Physics is the most interesting subject I have come to know about, from the small size atom to a vast universe, everything is so fascinating to know about, my curiosity of finding how this universe works has made me love this subject.
Could you do a video or series where you interview people who work in physics? It would be nice to hear about people's study tips, schedules, the work they do on a daily basis, and how they got into their particular strand of physics. Thanks!
That is exactly why I entered physics, am a 3rd year student now 🙂❤️
I was already planning to study physics, but thanks for the extra encouragement!
I feel like after studying this stuff for the past 2 years the best thing is that I notice similairities between systems better. I can just talk to people about the wildest shit and It's way easier to follow now than ever before because I quite often have some sort of reference in principles. That's what I think goes unnoticed a lot with people explaining why it's cool to study physics, you just learn stuff way faster and easier.
ahh i'm glad this video popped up in my feed :D i'm applying as a physics major for college so i'm vv excited!!
Ever since I Subscribed to this channel, Everytime I see new upload from you. I get so happy. Not only because you are an excellent teacher, and can explain really difficult things so easy. Its also because you have that very positive aura around you which makes me happy just by looking at your videos. Keep on doing what you do! Becuase you are really good at it.
I'm interested in physics because I'm just curious , my curiosity leads me to physics.
I'm a medical student and I'm studying Physics on my own with some help of a friend. I find it so much useful in studying medicine. I can understand more about fluid dynamics of the cardiovascular system, electricity of the heart we study on the electrocardiogram, mechanics of respiration, how our eyes and lenses we use in eyeglasses work and many things else.
I'm grateful for the existence of such a great and really helpful science.
That's Awesome I too am a medical student and studying physics. I have many interests in all science disciplines
@@daquanbenson549 Great! Stay curious. Knowledge is the only way to freedom.
Thanks for not going for the "dreamy" reasons. These reasons are hella underrated. Not saying there's no place for dreaminess, but these are the brass tacks for a career imo
Loved this video. Very well scripted and such a nice flow, thank you.
Beautifully explained!
I love the editing and post productions of the video. Could you please make a video explaining your editing and setup ??
As always, Loved your work and Physics!!
i didnt know i needed this. it motivated me to start studying more regularly (especially physics)
Thank you for making these videos, Parth. Your videos interest me more in physics everyday.
I use it while driving every day thinking about the friction of the wheels the weight and momentum of the car while entering a curve.
This channel is most underrated...
Serious indictment of current scientific awareness in society as videos without any concept get million views...
Dayummm....you deserve more views.
Keep up the good work
Hey Parth G the video was great and really comprehensive one . But it would be very helpful if you make one about mathematical physics and how does it differ from theoretical physics .
Trying to go on a Physics tour of research in my lateral life. Right now I am still in high school.. probably one of the videos that will lead me to become a physics research student..
I’m fascinated by physics, science, computer science and math. These are all subjects that highly interest me!
Youre just like me
We are STEM students
Brilliantly laid out.
Different wood would definitely make a difference to the sound of the electric guitar.
As a part of the vibrations being picked up by the electromagnetic pickup, also get absorbed into the wood.
Different types of wood will definitely influence the amount of vibrations being absorbed or reflected. Which in turn will effect the amount being induced into the guitar pickup.
Different woods will provide different inputs induced into the pickup.
Adjusting and tuning the pedal or amp, merely adjusts the output of the vibrations which already entered the system.
Different wood= different sounds
Learning physics makes me see life in a beautiful way🙏🏻
doing A level maths, physics and computer science, and I'm loving it (well, I love maths only when I'm on top of it lol)
Same hoping to get into uni for physics now
Oh yes I love physics I have many interests mainly in this field. Meteorology, Chemistry, Astronomy etc.....
One thing I've learned from physics and that I actually applied is how to pick out storm clouds I can also tell when exactly the rain is gonna fall from the sky
Currently a freshman mathematical physics major. I’ve never actually taken a physics class besides the gen ed one that Im taking now (Physical Science) but I’m very passionate about physics. Hopefully, I make it through university and earn my Physics degree.
I have Physics Ph.D. and I went on to work in trading, which adds an element of excitement and danger for me that academia didn't. The physics skills I've used, include programming (I was an experimentalist even), math, deep data quality analysis, math, analyzing the thermodynamics of overclocked hardware in datacenters that was overheating, being comfortable with chaos and mess and chipping away at the mess to organize it into something tame and controllable (very useful in IT), understanding optical properties of fiber optics, having a basic knowledge of electronics to install servers and work with vendors to install power systems for server racks, and defining processes that people follow and allow automation - I do process design a lot. The trading industry has some of the highest paying jobs and they hire a lot of people with physics degrees. The #2 guy at Citadel Investments, LLC has a physics Ph.D. - probably makes an insane amount of money.

Wonder what it likes having a phd and it seems impressive of physics. I thought it sounds like a pipe dream to get that degree until I realize it requires dedication.
@@SimicChameleon It was truly a lot of work to get a PhD in physics and I worked very hard for over 5 years. I say I'm proof that you don't have to be smart to get a PhD in physics - it just requires hard work and the motivation to do that work. Motivation comes from being really fascinated by the subject, which is true of studying for a PhD in any field. Imagine eating your favorite food or listening to your favorite song 12+ hours/day for years! You gotta really love it. Grad school in general can be socially isolating and I had to find a way to put in the long hours and still keep my sanity. I ended up getting a loan that paid for some cheap concerts, beer and the ability to go on a few dates and I made it.
but for quantitative traders, the people who develop strategies and than automate them with algo trading, why isn't mathematics better than physics in this case?
Parth narrowly avoiding massive controversy with the tonewood debate!
Great video btw (coming from an engineering student).
Oh I'm not wading in on that one my friend, just showing that the debate exists :D
@@ParthGChannel Yep, that would seem to be the smart thing to do haha
can you explain what the tone wood debate is?
@@why7387 Essentially, some people on the Internet have very strong views about whether or not your guitar tone (the overall sound of your guitar) is affected by the wood it's made out of.
Interesting that many of those points can be made for social sciences as well!
This video increased my love for physics
I really wanted to learn physics, because it will open your eyes to this sophisticated world we live in. That's why I'm learning math at all cost to be be fluent with it
Nice video Parth...
Thanks parth.👍👍👌👌
Can you make a video on the importance mathematical modelling in theoretical physics
Keep doing such videos;;;!!🔥❤️
You d best;
U r A Great Inspiration For Me in My Physics Journey! Thanks For All Your Help & Information! Love From India💓! On The Way To ISRO........
Noice bro
You will left ISRO after 1 year (for physics aspect)
Yea love from India, me too
I will see u at ISRO🤘🤘
After a long time brother ❤️
Lots of thanks Path
I am gonna study physics at the university🌸🌸
Yeahhh that trueee, physics is the most fascinating subject. People who fall in love with this subject are lucky, bcz we have been choosen by our universe to understand them
I liked the hypothesis of apple falling in the airless region, that's good start for a young scientist , then he/she can find the pressure of that place using pressure gauge , which gives the idea of number of gas molecules and blah blah ............... LOVE FROM INDIA , STAY SAFE PARTH , YOU ARE THE BEST .............. GREAT JOB
I am currently in my second year of physics and chemistry, I plan to major in physics. It's very difficult sometimes😭 but I don't give up thanks for this video
Hey Parth, I would love to see a video on How a Science enthusiast person from a different field can self study physics without going to a college.
Really love your work though 🔥🔥
I wouldn't say that it's impossible. But it's probably pretty hard. Studying physics at university would be already probing your tolerance for frustration. Doing it on your own it's not very probably that you would get to that stage (often enough). However encountering an excellent professor or at least a couple of excellently prepared lectures often help overcoming frustration. And unless you're focussing on theoretical physics it's pretty hard to find the equipment and resources needed to do serious modern physics stuff. For doing research and development on latest high tech quite often one or more physicists are involved. Undergraduate physics won't be enough for that work which is at the most advanced edge of science sometimes. You can teach yourself fundamentals of physics and possibly to a pretty high level. But I think that there're some limitations to that approach.
Guitar sound difference is to find out If the pickups react to the material around them, if you can prove that, It is certain the sound will be affected by the density of the wood.
Simple experiment is to take the strings off of 2 guitars of the same design and specification, calculate the volume and density of the guitars for comparison to make sure there is a noticeable difference, plug in each guitar.
Create a measured force in the same place 20 times each on both guitars and calculate the average frequency for both.
You will then be able to study these measurements side by side and determine a result - my hypothesis is that density of the material correlates with sound difference and the further away in density the materials are, the more difference in sound there will be.
I start a degree this year - I'm 31 and I feel like I'm a million years behind everyone else but determined to make a difference out there :)
As Rutherford once said "There is only Physics - the rest is just stamp collecting"!
Proving statements from Analyzing them is one of the best things in science
That can also be done in Mathematics.
@@pa_u_los but those statements do not involve actual physical quantities
13 hours ago, yooooo, it`s gotta get hype soon tho
You must learn physics because after that your vision will be chenge to observe things. and you definitely able to see the beauty of nature which you have not seen before.
First study English .
Love from Greece. I am going to start my physics bachelor next year and I hope to get a PhD one day
It's so funny you mentioned the "wood" argument... I'm fully on the camp that the wood makes a huge difference, but that is purely anecdotally and experimental with my own ears... I'm almost certain I can tell the difference between basswood and say Ash top or mahogany... some people shut me down so quick... I've been playing guitars like 20 years including extended range... 7 strings 8 strings ect and I do have a preference when it comes to the wood... but maybe I haven't experimented enough across different types... I've played cheap bass wood guitars (ibanez) and expensive (JPP music man)... and the wood was enough to make me do a swap for a custom ash top mahogany bodied guitar... You can hear the difference before you even plug the guitar in
thankyou for make this video
Very useful info
I'm going into Astronomy and Astrophysics at OSU, and I think I'm almost as scared as I am excited!
Is that Ohio State, Oregon State, Oklahoma State, or other?

I have worked in industry as a nuclear physicist for ten years. I changed back to mechanical engineering. My first physics job I got (which was my favourite job) was obtained because I was a time served engineer with a 1st class physics degree. The company of physicists had problems talking to engineers, who carried out design of nuclear plant. They thought, "this guy's an engineer and a decent physicist". The job was amazing, I was sent everywhere to talk to engineers in a nomenclature they understood. Best job ever and it paid fairly well.
If I can make it passed algebra ya would definitely like to learn physics.
Studying Physics, Mathematics, Programming, Machine Learning
whateverr you said in this video should be included in our text book introduction lesson of science/physics.
You are a great inspiration The title is awesome but Physics really needs YOU
To spread the knowledge! Fans, u think so?

Btw.
Love from India!🇮🇳
I'm in my firs year of physiks. This helps :)
I had the choice between Physician and Physicist.
My medical career topped-out at earning the First Aid merit badge when I was in the Boy Scouts.
With Physics, I figured that it would only be my own blood & guts I'd have to deal with!
Which app do you use for filming,editing and camera etc. ??
Physics is the BEST subject one can study. It’s the basis for all science and engineering.
I am not thinking of job aspects, I am just learning physics and math at the moment because I like it, to understand it and get better at it. I teach primary and High school students for survival money, hopefully If I get good at math and physics, I can apply for a research programme in some college
Wonder how physics and calculus relate lot?
@@SimicChameleon what?
@@vishwasshankar3929 I will clarify it, When taking a physics class with calculus. How both can relate in the applied methods. Because I heard Physics is applied math.
Yes yes yes , pls do make a video on why not study physics.
Spiritual enlightenment and the end of mental illness! Need to study biology to end the mind body problem.
Also, physics must have some mystical relation with UA-cam. Physicists nowadays make sooooo beautiful videos! Omg. Yes, you are the one whom I am referring to.
modern economics degrees, especially at higher levels, offer similar skills/ways of thinking! maybe an option for people in general more interested in society than nature
hi thank you for this video I've been wanting to go to physics ever since I started high school but something really bothers me i really like to study theoretical physics however I see a lot of news about how it's not in a good state or titles like "the end of theoretical physics "and stuff and my parents are pressuring me to choose a major with more income like engineering or computer science but i really love physics and understanding how things work and patterns and stuff like that but I'm afraid that if I enter the field I'd feel that I'm not needed there or that I'd regret going for theoretical physics could you please give some suggestions?
It depends what they mean by the end of theoretical physics. True progress in fundalmental physics has slowed a lot since the LHC hasn't discovered anything beyond the standard model but there are still many processes in nature that we don't fully understand and need really brainy theorists to pick apart!!
@@black1blade74 thank you so much for the reply
Hey Parth, Love from India. Can you do a video on Bayesian Inference, MCMC, Metropolis-Hastings? I would really appreciate it. Thank you in advance
I'm 36 years old and considering studying physics. Really interested in quantum physics and computational physics.

I did an engineering physics undergrad and am doing an aerospace engineering grad program right now with a computational physics thesis project. Don't necessarily discount the engineers, you can do quite alot of physics there. Even among the physicists most don't do astro theory related things but rather closer to materials because that's practical and where alot of the money goes.
@@alexanderdvanbalderen9803 it was a double major in electrical engineering and physics basically; learned quite alot but it was pretty hard. And the engineering part helped me get a job out of undergrad; my current employer pays for grad which is a great way to do it with no debt but I study after a full days work which is pretty tiring. Both Python and C++ are good skills to have, I'd learn both if you can, good luck
I wish I had the intellicual capacity to learn physics.
with the right tools you can brother
is it important to learn programming to be a theoretical physicist? If yes, which programming language(s) is the best to learn?
I am a Biotechnologist but i love physics too! 😎
I’m interested in physics for molecular biology and biochemistry. Are there any books you’d recommend?
What if one of your subscriber discover the theory of everything
I like physics so much that even if i fail in exams i still love it and even if i say to myself that I should hate it, i can't. I still love it. But what can i do to improve my grades.
Earthquake are like effusion of bubbles when partially pressure cuts that upper pressure 🕉🕉🕉🕉🕉
