Everyday Physics

Physics is not far from our daily life. It surrounds us every day. We live in accordance with physical laws, our bodies works in regular manners like anything else do in the universe.

Thus, it is not difficult to seek out examples for physics from everyday life. Studying physics is then merely learning our own life.

Exception should be made for modern physics which often seems to be in contradiction with daily experience. In this case, physics has explored too far into the areas which are beyond our built-in physical and mental capability. It is indeed a great success of humankind that the modern physics can overcome the inherently natural barrier, such that we perceive even miniscule atomic universe which appeared completely dark for ages in history.

We do not talk about modern physics here. We discuss about the so-called classical physics, which is consciously or even unconsciously embedded deep in our minds as "experience".

Let's see our surrounding to find how close the physics really is to us.
