Template:Stub Physics is the study of nature, and is the science of studying the laws of the universe. Galileo was the first to discover and propose some of the fundamental laws of physics that we still realize today. He began by studying how a ball rolled down an incline and showed that its speed would be proportional to the height it started at. A scientist that studies physics is called a physicist.
Other famous physicists include Aristotle, Tycho Brahe, Johannes Kepler, Carl Gauss, Isaac Newton, James Maxwell, Erwin Schroedinger, Ernest Rutherford, Werner Heisenberg, Niels Bohr, Albert Einstein, J. Robert Oppenheimer, Enrico Fermi, Richard Feynman, Joseph Taylor, Lyman Page, Leon Cooper, and James Valles, Jr.
