In addition to physicists, the list includes architects, medical doctors, scientists in chemistry, biology, geology, astronomy, engineering,
material science, computer science, and many others. Physics is an essential and fundamental tool for all of these disciplines, and is the
taproot from which all the sciences, engineering, and technology grow. Physics provides the principles that, for example, help the architect
to assess the structural integrity of a design of a building. Physics provides the principles from which medical CAT and MRI scans were
developed. The principles of physics are used by astronomers to calculate the interior structures of stars and planets, as well as the past
and future evolution of the universe. Students in almost any technical area at some time study physics. But, in addition to its being an
essential tool for all of the sciences and engineering, physics provides fascinating and deep insights into the nature and structure of matter,
energy, space, and time. The domain of physics is the universe: from studies of the interiors of protons, to arrangements and motions of
atoms in solids, to the dynamics of galaxies.
