Physics is a science dedicated to discovering the laws that govern both the behavior of the most fundamental particles and the dynamics of the universe as a whole. In other words, it is a science that deals with both the microcosm and the macrocosm.

This science has several branches: while theoretical physicists propose models to explain various phenomena, experimental physicists test those models through experiments in order to validate or rule them out. There is also applied physics, which uses fundamental knowledge to make nature behave in ways that are useful to us. Some examples of these applications include lasers, ultra-sensitive sensors, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) equipment, etc.

As you study physics at PUCP, you'll come to understand that it is a constantly evolving science: with every question that is answered, many others arise, presenting new challenges.
