Physicists do it with large expensive machinery. Physicists do it with rigid bodies. Physicists do it with string and sealing-wax. Physicists do it with Tensors. Physicists do it with their vectors.
Physicists do it with uniform harmonic motion.
Physicists get a big bang. Physics majors do it at the speed of light. Plasma physicists do it with everything stripped off. Quantum mechanics do it in leaps. Quantum theorists do it in tiny tiny pieces.
