Why Physics??     

David Newman's career in physics began early on in his life. Between the ages of 4 and 6, Professor Newman began to cultivate and extreme interest in the world around him and desired to understand how it worked. His curiosity led him originally to want to be an astronomer.

After receiving a telescope and sitting outside during the cold nights staring at stars, Professor Newman decided astronomy wasn't for him and eventually grew into the field of physics.
