Audience: Prospective physics students

Purpose: Make them want to study here

What type of student might consider a Physics degree? Famous [University] alumnus, Ernest Rutherford, was intrigued in childhood by seeing a stick apparently bend when dipped into a farm bucket of water; Albert Einstein asked how his face would appear in a hand-held mirror if he ran at some significant fraction of the speed of light. A budding physicist may share this fascination with and curiosity about the natural world.

Purpose: Make them want to study here

Physics aims to understand the entire physical world, from the sub-atomic to the cosmological.
