I like physics because of the
exploration I think it's very special
that we can just go and do something
purely fundamental without having to
think about what materialistic gains
we're going to get to that get from this
the beautiful thing about Fundamental
Research is that down the line we always
end up with spin-offs that we never even
expected but there's something very
special to be able to just probe deeply
and purely for no other reason and just
trying to understand something at the
most fundamental level so that's what I
really like so there's a lovely saying
by Alex Claire Hutchings that says art
is how we decorate space and music is
how we decorate time so physics covers
space-time which is the two of them
together so I think putting that
together physics as an art form would be
something like dance where you have art
evolving and moving to music and when
you think about you know physics in
terms of particles the dance the
choreography is described by the
standard model of physics which
describes how the particles move and
interact
so I'm standing model of physics
describes everything that we know of in
the universe fantastically well but we
know that it's not a complete theory we
know that there is 95% of the universe
out there but we don't really know what
it is
there's been many theories put up that
could possibly explain what this other
95% of the universe is but we haven't
discovered anything yet we haven't seen
whether one of these theories is more
correct than the other so I'm convinced
that one day we will be able to
understand this one day we will
understand what this other 95% of the
universe is but for now we just don't
know what that is and that's a few very
exciting
