Introduction

Physics is the study of the natural science that governs the universe. Physics can be very weird and unusual. In the 1600s, Isaac Newton asked a simple question: if an apple falls then does the moon also fall? This simple question has become one of the greatest questions ever asked by Homo sapiens since human life began, and this particular event represented the beginning of a whole new era of physics.

There are many strange things happening around us. According to the laws of physics, time changes depending on how fast you are moving; the faster you move, the heavier you get and the events in the future can affect what happened in the past. I have compiled some strange and interesting facts about physics to encourage student curiosity in the discipline.
