It has always been true that to be able to understand that which is all around us is man’s greatest desire. I believe that in Physics, this ambition is shown most fundamentally, with its yearning to understand the very roots of existence and a belief that one day it will uncover the truth to the one question that has eluded all of those who have asked it, ‘What is the reason of being?’. From an early age, I have marvelled at the theories that have, with such elegance and simplicity, explained some of the universe’s most complex phenomena, altering our perceptions and expanding our minds. The allure of being better able to grasp this phenomenon has led me to pursue a degree in Physics.
