It is also the most inclusive of the sciences. Every natural phenomenon is, in principle, within its domain. The beauty of physics lies in its attempt to understand all of these phenomena in terms of a few simple concepts. The physicist applies the general principles learned in these areas to the system under investigation. The first prerequisite for a physicist is curiosity.
All physicists possess a strong desire to know how the world, or at least some portion of it, works.
But discipline and persistence are also required. Although much has been learned about Nature, much more is still a mystery. And physics is not a static body of knowledge, but rather an activity, a process of uncovering what is still unknown. And so, if you are curious and enjoy a challenge, you are invited to consider the study of physics. It is a study which is intellectually stimulating and uniquely rewarding.
