What happened to anti-matter? Is the universe open or closed? What is really at the core of the sun? What gives a particular material super-conducting properties? These are all questions that a physicist might ask. Why? Because physics is the study of the most basic building blocks of matter, from the smallest particles to the largest structures of the universe, from the beginning to the end.
