and all you haters gonna tell me that physics is boring, physics sucks...well it just aint so. don't judge physics by your high school physics class where your teacher was probably some old white guy who mumbled at the board. open up your eyes and look around you -- physics gives you the tools to examine the world and understand how things work. we might as well apply that to social structures & change things for the better. physics=power, 'yo. study it.
guuurl! you do physics? damn, now aint that sexy!

Taking something very simple (i.e. a cup sitting on a table), and making it very complicated (i.e. the Archimedes force equation) by attaching numbers to individual concepts and then deriving more numbers from those. All in all, a very arbitrary system.
The universe used to be a pretty simple place up until THEY decided to assign numbers to everything, thus creating physics and making those things much more complicated than they ought to be.
